President Joe Biden said Barack Obama was too introverted to know how to swear properly, according to new book.
It is reported that the 46th president had complexes. feeling both insecure and proud that he didn't go to an Ivy League university, unlike his Harvard Law School-educated former boss.
Referring to that gulf, Mr. Biden said to a friend “that Obama didn't know how to say f—you're right, with the right vowel length and the necessary consonant firmness; this is how they should swear in an ivory tower,” writes Franklin Foer in The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Fight for America’s Future.
Biden was caught profaning several times during his and the Obama administrations.
Last year, during a visit to Florida after Hurricane Ian, he was heard saying to Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy: «No one is — with Biden.»
He also told Obama that «it's a hell of a deal» in March 2010, when he signed the health care reform.
Journalist Foer in his the latest book claims that Obama and Biden had a difficult relationship.
“Biden was also annoyed by the restrictions on his job, and if Obama occasionally rolled his eyes at him, he rolled his eyes back,” Mr. Foer wrote, according to Business Insider, who had access to a preview of the book. «There was a hint of class rivalry in their mockery.»

Previous books have also dealt with the delicate relationship between the two politicians, portrayed on social media as the perfect «bromance».
In The Long Alliance: Joe Biden and Barack Obama's Imperfect Alliance, Gabriel Debedetti stated that Obama often ignored Biden's advice.
Mr. Foer also claims that Biden's relationship with Obama during his administration affected his relationship with Vice President Kamala Harris.
He allegedly wanted it. “Treat Harris with the respect he felt Barack Obama did not give him. He always called her VP, not my VP.»
According to Politico, other takeaways from the book include that Mr. Biden considers Volodymyr Zelensky «a bit of an amateur «. and once described Putin's posture as «a 'asshole schoolboy' pose».
He also allegedly joked about former chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci that he should «sit in the vice president's chair.»
The Telegraph has reached out to the White House for comment.
