NBC's Matt Lauer says he was reduced to tears when he watched President Obama surprise Vice President Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
"I'm glad there were no cameras in my apartment yesterday because I was just sitting there weeping ... I just burst out crying when I saw that moment. It was incredible, Lauer, who recently signed a reported $20 million per year contract extension through 2018, said Friday on "Today."
The waterworks were on for Biden himself as well on Thursday when Obama shocked his vice president with the Medal of Freedom. Biden had to turn from the cameras momentarily to compose himself.
NBC Newss chief foreign affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, shared the same sentiment in a report recapping the medal ceremony, saying the friendship between the two men is something rarely seen in Washington politics.
"Its a bond like we've never seen before. At times, more like a White House buddy movie than a political partnership," Mitchell observed.
"After eight years, the Bidens and Obamas forging a friendship so close they consider themselves family. ... Their friendship often reaching a fever pitch on social media," she continued.
"Biden tweeting a photo of a friendship bracelet on the Presidents birthday: 'Happy 55th, Barack! A brother to me, a best friend forever.'
After the "Today" report, guest co-host Meredith Vieira called the event so beautiful.

Because Matt is the only one who hasn’t gotten some participation trophy from Obummer. Oh well, there still a few days left and there must be a box of medal stashed in a Oval Office closet somewhere.
So...Is Biden a tranny?
Further proof that matt liar and his cohorts are emotionally, spiritually, mentally and morally defective.
I blame Biden.
Getting dry humped by Creepy Uncle Joe will mess you up for life.
Seriously.
Wonder where they got that hubcap sized medal?
I saw that in a movie...
That just confirms everything we always knew about you, Matt.
A medal? For feeding at the trough, UGH! Worse the hearing the term “Public Servant” with these people.
Must’ve been the talking points they all received today.
More propaganda “Kodak moments” for the liberal cult members who are still “true believers”.
Like Matt and Meredith.
The old Soviet Union Pravda had nothing on these folks; they were rank amateurs compared to the MSM in this kind of drama queen propaganda.
yup
Obama giving medals to himself and Biden so cheapen the awards that they’re now next to meaningless.
A worthless (r)esident handing out worthless medals. What a joke of a regime. Obama so wants to be a tin-pot dictator he can just taste it.
Twenty million per year?
I’m surprised he didn’t get his hair restored when he first started to lose it with the kind of dough he makes.
Based on what I’ve seen in this past 8 years, I would’ve hesitated if I was considered for such a award. Anything presidential seems to have too much ghetto flavor to have
