Joe Biden says Barack Obama is 'like family' as he reveals favourite White House meme
Joe Biden has spoken of his relationship with Barack Obama, describing the pair as “like family” and saying many of the memes of them that circulated online are accurate.
The former US Vice President revealed his favourite of the thousands of memes that were posted on social media during and after his time in the White House.
In them, the pair are portrayed as good friends, with Mr Biden often shown as having a humorous and mischievous approach in contrast to a more serious and sober Mr Obama.
Many focused on jokes about the former President discouraging his deputy from trashing the White House or playing pranks on their successors following the election of Donald Trump.
Mr Biden told NBC News that the nature of the memes was a fair reflection of his relationship with Mr Obama.
“All those memes - there are thousands of them out there - in essence, they're all true,” he said. “We had that kind of relationship."
"My granddaughters and his daughters are each other's best friends. They vacation together. You know, it's family".
Asked how he felt about the fact that many younger people are familiar with him mainly through memes, he replied: “I feel good about it.”
