According to the book ‘The Last Politician’, launched on Tuesday (5), and written by Franklin Foer, although President Obama and his then Vice President were aligned on many issues, the book suggests that there was an undercurrent of class rivalry behind their mutual provocations.
Foer describes the duo as ‘the average hard-working guy with his packed lunch’ (Biden) and ‘the culturally effeminate professor’ (Obama) ‘pinching himself’.

The book claims that Biden advised Obama to reject his generals’ advice to stay in Afghanistan, whispering to his boss shortly after they took over the White House: “These generals are trying to corner a new president” and “Don’t let them fool you. ”
Also according to the book, Biden and Obama developed a ‘secret code’ for when the vice president needed to play the role of ‘bad cop’ during high-level meetings.
“When Obama tipped his chair back in meetings, Biden took it as a cue to ask provocative questions that Obama wanted answered but didn’t want to raise in person, for fear of changing the tone of the meeting,” Foer wrote.
