No, not at all.  Obama won't endorse anyone in the 2016 primaries.

wow it looks like Reagan did not until May 1988.

of course Obama will be thinking lucidly and making his own decisions.

1988 and 2000 are the only two examples you have under the modern primary system, where a sitting VP ran for president.  And in 2000, the entire party establishment was behind Gore, in a way that wouldn't happen with Biden.
