Biden was the youngest Senator ever to take office, and he’s the oldest President ever to take office. He has given America his entire professional life.
Here’s Obama with more details about his reasons for giving Biden the award:
This also gives the Internet one last chance to talk about our bromance. This has been quite a ride. It was eight and a half years ago that I chose Joe to be my Vice President. There has not been a single moment since that time that I’ve doubted the wisdom of that decision. He was the best possible choice, not just for me, but for the American people. This is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public service.
And all of this makes him, I believe, the finest Vice President we have ever seen. And I also think he has been a lion of American history. The best part is he's nowhere close to finished. In the years ahead, as a citizen, he will continue to build on that legacy, internationally and domestically. He’s got a voice of vision and reason and optimism, and a love for people. And we're going to need that spirit and that vision as we continue to try to make our world safer and to make sure that everybody has got a fair shot in this country.
So that’s Joe Biden — a resilient, and loyal, and humble servant, and a patriot.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction to my brother, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
And this is the amazing moment:
Biden thought he was retired and ready to enjoy his family with Jill when Trump said those awful words about “good people on both sides” — and Biden realized he had to come back.
Biden knows service and he has spent these last four years serving us, once again.
Is there still more work to be done? 100%! Lots more work. But Biden has done so much more than many people guessed could be done. He deserves a lot of credit. AND he deserves to be re-elected.
