C9-2
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are often known for they're #goals worthy friendship. Yesterday was a great example of this. Biden went to the White House thinking he would be having lunch with the President and his wife, but was surprised with a impromptu ceremony. Before introducing Biden, Obama surprised Biden once again by awarding him with the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor. In the video posted on NPR, you can see Biden in disbelief, as well as tears in his eyes. Obama said that Biden has been the best vice president America has ever had, and "to know Joe Biden is to know love without pretense, service without self-regard, and to live life fully," (NPR). After accepting the award, Biden said a few words thanking Obama, and telling the audience about just how close he is with Obama and his family. He told Obama, "this honor is not only well beyond what I deserve, but it's a reflection of the generosity of your spirit... I don't deserve this. But I know it came from the president's hear". The Obama, Biden bromance will truly be missed.
