The two men, their characters and styles sharply  contrasting, formed a dynamic working relationship that evolved into a  profound friendship. Their affinity was not predestined. Obama and Biden  began wary of each other: Obama an impatient freshman disdainful of the  Senate's plodding ways; Biden a veteran of the chamber and proud of its  traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGradually they came to respect each other's values and strengths and  rode into the White House together in 2008. Side-by-side through two  tension-filled terms, they shared the day-to-day joys and struggles of  leading the most powerful nation on earth. They accommodated each  other's quirks: Biden's famous miscues kept coming, and Obama overlooked  them knowing they were insignificant except as media fodder. With his  expertise in foreign affairs and legislative matters, Biden took on an  unprecedented role as chief adviser to Obama, reshaping the vice  presidency. Together Obama and Biden guided Americans through a range of  historic moments: a devastating economic crisis, racial confrontations,  war in Afghanistan, and the dawn of same-sex marriage nationwide. They  supported each other through highs and lows: Obama provided a welcome  shoulder during the illness and death of Biden's son Beau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs many Americans turn a nostalgic eye toward the Obama presidency,  \u003ci\u003eBarack and Joe\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new look at this administration, its absence of  scandal, dedication to truth, and respect for the media. This is the  first book to tell the full story of this historic relationship and its  substantial impact on the Obama presidency and its legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098373964016,"sku":"2940170264179","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170264179_p0.jpg?v=1763794281","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170264179","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
