Barack and Joe : the making of an extraordinary partnership
Levingston, Steven2019
Books
The extraordinary partnership of Barack Obama and Joe Biden is unique in American history. 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. Gradually 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. As many Americans turn a nostalgic eye toward the Obama presidency, this book offers a new look at this administration, its absence of scandal, dedication to truth and respect for the media.
