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 News’s 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.
"It’s 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 President’s 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.”

[I just burst out crying when I saw that moment. It was incredible]

Good thing I didn’t watch it. I hate puking.
So who runs who out of NBC first, Matt or Meygn?
One Word.....FAG.
More lamentations of their women.
You know folks, I don’t see a single thing to be honored about the pres__ent Islamic _resident and his moronic political hack side-kick.
Lauer needs to go to the Cleveland Clinic and see if they can reattach his manhood.
If there were a negative honor, these two would have gotten clusters...
Medal of Freedom medal to someone who resourced and facilitated the rise of ISIS, illegal wars in the Middle East, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
Shame on this administration and shame on a nation that let them get away with it.
Cracker Jack will also be giving away the Presidential Medal of Freedom until the 19th of January
Pure faggotry.
Tell me, Matt, what has Joe Biden accomplished in his life aside from drawing a government salary?
How many aborted children were denied their birthrights to freedom, ie, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness due to the votes and actions of godless tyrants like Biden?
Let’s see Joe try to exchange that participation medal when he meets up with the God of Israel and His Son. Same for BamBam and the medal he gave himself.
“”It’s a bond like we’ve never seen before. At times, more like a White House buddy movie than a political partnership,” Mitchell observed.”
These people make me sick, as well as the pussies in the media that cover them.
Reports said that the vice president said repeatedly. “I don’t deserve this,”
I never realized that I would agree with Biden on anything at all.
But For once I agree with Biden. I have no idea what he’s done to deserve this award.
NBC = Nothing But Criers.
To think that some folks get their news from this snowflakes . . . pathetic.
