How no other pair of men can possibly compete with Presidential love.

It is no secret that the world is changing drastically in a few days. It is a depressing conceit, but ultimately, I believe we, as a community of artistic, social, active Americans, will make the most of the next four years. However, there is one thing I am going to miss most about our nation's highest (and second highest) office. Of course you know what I'm talking about. The legendary Obama-Biden Bromance. First heralded as a prophecy from the great Oracle of America (picture a giant eagle, with long flowing locks), this bromance is the bromance to end all other bromances. I mean, come on:
An election night embrace. Look at the longing in their eyes.
No one would have guessed when the Obama administration started that these two politicians would drop all worldly worries and enter into a full-on, HR-cleared, relationship. And let's be honest, it was a benefit for the entire country.
This entire crowd is not there for the basketball game. They're watching the real show between these two.
However, it should be noted that not everybody was thrilled with the development of this bundle of democratic love. One could argue that it got in the way of other obligations...
Biden gonna steal your man, Michelle. He gonna do it.
Yet, throughout all of the twists and turns of these last eight years, they fought to make this nation better for all Americans, even when they disagreed. Even when they faced tragedy. Even when the nation lost hope. They were heroes. Standing tall and together.
"Joe, pick a different pose. The crossed arms is my thing"
"I just wanna be close to you, Mr. President."
And all of this came to a head last week, when Obama awarded his special love Joe Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in our country. With this act, Obama forever topped the game when it comes to bromancing. If y'all haven't seen it, the ceremony is amazing. Especially because it was a total surprise to Vice President Biden. Watch it here:
So many happy tears.
So thank you Obama. Thank you Biden. For showing us what love, trust, and friendship can be. You have been an inspiration, and will continue to be as we push on in the future. Because - I'm gonna be frank - there's no way Trump-Pence can live up to this.
Oof. It's so uncomfortable. Two people who do not wanna be there.
Happy early inauguration day, everyone. Make the best of this next year. Create, create, create.
