Hunter Biden is not a fan of Barack Obama. Their respective families have been at odds ever since Obama famously warned of President Joe Biden as his successor: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.”
So, it’s no surprise that there has been some lingering resentment from the former President’s family members and associates. But it’s still juicy stuff to read about the animosity, nonetheless.
Hunter, in an excerpt of journalist Jonathan Karl’s forthcoming book, “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America,” reveals an incident prior to his father dropping out of the presidential race that enraged him so much that he almost leapt on stage to confront Barack.
That incident? A Los Angeles fundraiser in June of 2024, in which Obama grabbed Joe’s hand and led him off stage following an appearance with faux comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
We all remember that moment, of course, when Biden froze for a bit before Barack had to grab his arm and escort him backstage.

According to Hunter, that moment singularly enraged him beyond comprehension. So much so that he almost launched a profane tirade against Obama, got in his face, and threatened him.
“I knew that that was going to be a meme,” Hunter says in the book, according to Axios. “That really, really, really, really pissed me off.”
He added, “I almost jumped up on the stage and said, ‘Don’t ever f***ing do that to the president of the United States again — ever.”
Mad as he was, Hunter’s near threat came less than two weeks before his father crashed and burned spectacularly in the presidential debate against Donald Trump.
Biden at one point during the debate went on a meandering monologue about God knows what, and ended his thoughts with, “We finally beat Medicare.”
Trump would later quip, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
The rest, as they say, was history. Biden’s cognitive decline, actively covered up by the Democrats and the media for years, was laid bare for the world to see.
Biden: “Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare.”
Trump: “Well he’s right. He did beat medicaid. Beat it to death.” pic.twitter.com/FL152ERLiR

Biden’s performance led NBC News to admit that he was “at times … meandering, incoherent and difficult to hear.” Reality, of course, was that he was all of those things throughout most of his presidency.
The former first son later claimed that President Biden took Ambien before that calamitous debate performance, suggesting the sedative contributed to his father’s “deer in the headlights” appearance.
Hunter, in an interview with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5, offered exhaustion as an excuse for the performance.
“I’ll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate,” he said. “He flew around the world basically, and the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old.”
“He’s tired as s***. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep,” Hunter claimed. “He gets up on the stage and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.”
Being literally ‘Sleepy Joe’ doesn’t account for other high-profile instances of incompetence during his tenure, such as calling out for a recently deceased congresswoman, for example.

Circling back to the fundraiser with Obama – You would think that the primary concern of the now-adoring prodigal son would have been, ‘Hey, why do you think my Dad keeps freezing on stage?’ at this point. But nay, it was, ‘How dare Barack help get him off stage?’
Especially when everyone in Biden’s camp knew he consistently needed help to avoid wandering around aimlessly at public events.
In yet another book, titled “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” and written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, it was revealed that Biden actually had to be led around at appearances and directed where to walk by placing neon-colored pieces of tape on the floor.
Was Hunter equally as outraged about the people who did that?
