I guess Obama couldn’t have served in Biden’s staff.

Do you have, well, any information on this at all? Like, something from a news source?

**Modhat** : Sorry P&E requires more than a cryptic title and a cryptic statement and a link.

If you want to try this again, have a more descriptive title and explain whatever you think would prevent Obama from working on Biden’s staff. Also please ensure your link is to something informational. (Basing that on Chronos’s reply.)

Before you ask, no I didn’t bother reading the link. It is not the job of the moderation staff to read links. It is our job to ensure Ops in P&E and GD meet some minimum requirements. There may well be something of interest here, but please provide more information and be less cryptic. We don’t like click-bait. Start the conversation yourself.

_This is just a guidance, not a warning. Nothing on your permanent record._
