Barack Obama and Joe Biden: The Ultimate Friendship
Though it started off rocky—remember “articulate and clean”?—the relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden blossomed from a political partnership aimed at winning white, working-class voters into a fast and true friendship. Perhaps it’s because they both have absurdly charismatic grins, or because they’re unafraid to show how much they obviously value each other, but for all their downfalls, Biden and Obama seem to genuinely glow in each other’s presence. (One can hardly say the same for Donald Trump and Mike Pence.)
