13 Fake Obama-Biden Quotes We Wish Were Real
Regardless of where you stand politically, it's hard to dispute that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have developed an endearing bromance over the past eight years of leading the nation together. As the country reels in the wake of Donald Trump's electoral upset and wonders what to expect when Donald Trump and Mike Pence enter the White House, the friendship between our current president and vice president has become a source of comfort to many Americans. An outpouring of imagined conversations between Obama and Biden has delivered lighthearted laughs at a time when many hearts and minds are heavy with questions and concerns about the near future.
Many of the fake conversations center on what people imagine the two are thinking and feeling about Trump's impending commander-in-chief status, while others stick to super casual, everyday conversations and silly jokes between the two. Biden is consistently portrayed as a sentimental goof with an ample supply of bad puns, while Obama plays the level-headed eye-roller trying to comfort Biden through the transition out of the Oval Office.
