Obama joked that Rubio ‘would get his ass kicked’ if he joined Romney ticket

In February 2012, President Obama joked to a Florida Republican that Marco Rubio should turn down a potential request from Mitt Romney to be his running mate, according to a new book by Glenn Thrush.

“Tell your boy to watch it. He might get his ass kicked,” Obama reportedly said with a chuckle.

Glenn Thrush’s new e-book, “Obama’s Last Stand: POLITICO Playbook 2012″ is available today.
