Obama was back in the White House, for the first time since he left office, to celebrate the Affordable Care Act, signed into law 12 years and 13 days ago.
“It is good to be back in the White House. It’s been a while,” Obama said when he began his remarks. “I confess I heard some changes have been made by the current President since I was last here. Apparently, Secret Service agents have to wear aviator sunglasses now. The Navy Mess has been replaced by a Baskin-Robbins. And there’s a cat running around.”
The good-natured teasing started right away when he addressed Biden as
“Vice President Biden” before quickly correcting himself. “That was a joke!” he exclaimed, walking over to give Biden a hug. “That was all set up. My President, Joe Biden.”
‘Like the good old days,’ smiled Obama.
