In his final days as president,President Obama,in a sweet and emotional surprise,awarded Vice President Joe Biden, President Medal of Freedom,the highest civilian award-taking VP Biden by an emotional surprise.
Having called Mr. Biden his wife,Jill, and other family members to the White House for a“private farewell” the president instead awarded him with the honor, the medal with distinction, that previous presidents had reserved only for Pope John Paul II and Colin L. Powell, the former secretary of state.
“To know Joe Biden is to know love without pretense, service without self-regard, and to live life fully,” Mr. Obama said during the ceremony, as VP Biden wiped tears from his eyes and dabbed at his nose with a handkerchief.
“Ricchetti,you’re fired,” Mr. Biden joked to his chief of staff, Steve Ricchetti.“I had no inkling.”
