ICYMI: Former President Barack Obama returned to the White House for the first time since leaving office to tout the benefits of his signature healthcare law. Obama arrived in the East Room to robust cheers from the assembled crowd
Obama arrived in the East Room to robust cheers from the assembled crowd of Congress members and administration staffers, and remarked on the changes that had been made in the White House since he was last there - notably the arrival of a feline.
Biden, who hosted Obama for lunch, joked that the two men did not know who should sit where when they dined, and lauded Obama for his leadership on the healthcare law. Before signing and as he finished his remarks, he quipped: "Barack, I'm going to remind you: it's a hot mic." Obama and Biden became friends during Obama's time in office, meeting for lunch weekly. Their families became close and Obama spoke at the funeral of Biden's son, Beau.
