Biden hasn't even declared he's in the running, Gunnar. It was previously indicated that he'd be inclined to run if Hillary's campaign looked to be in trouble.
It's one thing to give Biden a pre-primary endorsement of sorts once he throws his hat into the ring.
But, for President Obama to do so now comes across, to me, as Obama doubting Hillary's campaign longevity and encouraging Biden to run for the sake of the Democratic Party. That's a hit to Hillary and the last thing she needs right now. That's just my opinion though.
