Joe Biden wants to make it clear: Former President Barack Obama is his pal.
A new video on Wednesday from Biden's campaign laid into billionaire Mike Bloomberg, who has somewhat shadily featured Obama in his campaign ads. While the spots haven't explicitly said Obama's endorsed the former NYC mayor, they can certainly imply that idea, with which Biden took issue.
The new spot from Biden calls out Bloomberg, running through a litany of cases in which Bloomberg slammed Obama. The video also mocks the now-infamous Bloomberg meme ads that featured fake Instagram DMs.
"I even blamed [Obama] for racism in America," reads one fake DM from Bloomberg, for instance, before a clip of the billionaire making the comments.

The video from Biden's camp ends by showing clips of Bloomberg touting his friendship with President Donald Trump before a banner of text that reads: "Money can't rewrite history."
(The ad also ends with a kind of strange dubstep beat drop, but that's beside the point.)
Folks have begun to notice Bloomberg's strategy of cozying up to Obama, who remains a popular figure, especially among Democrats. The truth is: Obama hasn't endorsed any candidate and, if he were to back a 2020 Democrat during the primary, it's very unlikely it would Bloomberg, considering the two a relatively strained relationship.
"I keep encountering Dem voters who like Mike Bloomberg because he’s been endorsed by Barack Obama," tweeted Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "Fake news and the power of saturation TV ads."

NBC News reported Bloomberg has spent $16 million thus far on a pair of ads that make it seem like Obama endorsed the billionaire Democratic candidate. One of the ads, for instance, shows the former president speaking with Bloomberg and suggests the two are working together.
Lots of folks who used to work for Obama have spoken out against the tactic, pointing out Bloomberg even refused to endorse Obama in '08.
"It's jarring to see all these Bloomberg ads that suggest Obama has endorsed him, especially considering how...perfunctory his endorsement of Obama was back in 2012," tweeted Tommy Vietor, a former national security spokesman in the Obama White House.
Bloomberg, for his part, was ready to fire back at Biden on Wednesday. His team tweeted out a video of Biden profusely complimenting Bloomberg over the years.
"As a senator, and as a vice president, he has always stood by the side of great men," the tweet read. "We are honored to have Joe’s support."

Things are getting real petty, and on Wednesday night Bloomberg will take place in his first Democratic debate since he announced his campaign.
