Barack Obama Thanks Biden For 'Faith In Our Democracy' At White House Portrait Unveiling
Obamas Welcomed Back to White House as Biden Unveils Their Portraits

(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden hosted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama for the unveiling of their official portraits at the White House, calling them “two dear friends, and two great Americans.”
“Barack and Michelle, welcome home,” Biden said Wednesday at a boisterous event in the White House’s East Room.
“It’s great to be back,” Obama said later, adding that Biden became “a true partner and a true friend” as his vice president.
The ceremony was partly a celebration of the Obamas’ historic role as the first Black family to reside in the White House and partly a reunion for the former running mates -- and hundreds of staffers who served across both administrations.
Biden called the portraits “a reminder for all here and now, and for those that come to power, that hope and change matters.”
