In a surprise twist,
President Barack Obama ended
an event billed
as a final tribute
to his vice president
by awarding Joe Biden
with the nation's highest civilian honor,
the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In a speech prior to the announcement,
Obama touched
on Biden's many personal and professional accomplishments,
hailing his contributions
to the outgoing administration
and applauding his personal character.
The transcript of Obama's speech on Biden is heartfelt
and touching reminder
of the close relationship the leaders developed
during their eight years
in office together.
The president applauded Biden
for his faith
in his fellow Americans,
his love of his country,
and "a lifetime of service
that will endure through the generations."
He chose
to bestow Biden
with the Presidential Medal of Freedom
with Distinction,
an added level of veneration
reportedly awarded to only three other men since 1989
– Pope John Paul II, former President Ronald Reagan, and Gen. Colin Powell.
"I don't deserve this
but I know
it came from the president's heart,"
a visibly surprised
and emotional Vice President Biden said
after receiving the award
from Obama.
