The disclosure suggests Barack Obama never invited Biden into the private area of the White House..

President Joe Biden served in the U.S. Senate for more than 30 years, and then served eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president. But until he moved in last month, he said Tuesday night, he’d never been inside the presidential "residence" area of the White House.

Biden made the disclosure during a town hall event in Milwaukee,

...

I had been in the Oval Office a hundred times as vice president -- more than that -- every morning for the initial meetings but I had never been up in the residence," Biden said.

Until becoming president, Biden said, he also hadn’t had the experience of having the White House staff fully available to address his every need.

...

Biden’s disclosure suggested that no president – whether Barack Obama or any other – had ever invited him into the area where the nation's chief executive shares private time with his family.

It also appeared to add support to claims that Biden’s relationship with Obama, his former boss, wasn’t as close as both men have always publicly portrayed it to be.

...

Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--- things up," Obama reportedly once said privately about Biden, Politico reported last August.

Obama also withheld his endorsement of Biden for president until last April, after his former vice president had already been campaigning for months.

...

Biden ... "I get up in the morning, I look at Jill, and say, ‘Where the hell are we?’"

Biden's title should be pronounced "ˈrɛz(ə)dənt" He is, de facto resident in the White House. As any "P" is "on" rather than "of" the law and constitution, it doesn't deserve to be enunciated.

How many times did we have to hear about how close Joe Biden and Barack Obama were? It was all fake.
