President Obama honours Joe Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Outgoing US President Barack Obama surprised Vice President Joe Biden by bestowing the countrys highest civilian honour, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, upon him on 12 January.

Obama joked that the award would give the internet further reason to talk about their bromance.

The award came with distinction, an honour only given to three past recipients. Jan 13, 2017
