Read our privacy policy Before President Joe Biden, there was Uncle Joe, the character created by The Onion during Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House. Obama said of Biden that “we couldn’t have been more different,” positioning that as a bonus, when explaining why he chose Biden over someone more expected like Tim Kaine. In 2016, the official vice presidential account run by Biden tweeted out a picture of two entwined friendship bracelets — one saying “JOE”, the other “BARACK” — with the note: “Happy 55th, Barack! Affecting a southern drawl, he said that they “haven’t changed a whole hell of a lot” in that time; he also gestured back to Obama and said, of putting together healthcare legislation, that “I got a little practice when you were president and I was with you.” It was a short and unremarkable speech but the reigniting of the bromance onstage was the real win.
