President Obama just surprised Joe Biden with the Medal of Freedom! A deeply deserved honor and a wonderful tribute. I'm in tears in the best possible way. I worked on Vice President Biden's first presidential run and have admired him ever since. I can't tell you how much my soul needed this today! For those of you who like him, I think you will really enjoy watching the ceremony. It's pretty wonderful!!

I love the way these two just really admire each other and seem to really like each other. Joe always seemed like that smart but goofy friend you had in high school that would make you laugh when the teacher turned his/her back.

It's making me cry. The love they have for each other is so real. They're both such wonderful people.

As I said in the other, similar thread, this cold-hearted woman here flat-out cried.

Well deserved honor for a true patriot and upstanding friend and family man. I wonder if these families will get together and potluck while discussing sports and ,oh I don't know, maybe current events and politics(?) during the next few years. Now those are some conversations I'd love to eavesdrop in on.

I happened to have the TV on and watched the whole thing. I've felt warm & fuzzy ever since. And I was struck by how even these fast friends spoke to each other with propriety. I'm sure it's probably not that way when they're alone, but it was a whole room full of class.

A very nice honor to a man and his family that have worked hard for many, many years.

I am no Obama fan and as "trainwrecky" as Biden sometimes is with inappropriateness, I too even enjoyed that little ceremony today.
LIke him or not, Biden has served this nation for a lifetime and watching him be so touched was touching. (just realized there's a Biden pun here...with all the talk of "touching" LOL)

Syracuse is proud! He attended law school here after which he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident.
So happy for him!
