There's an old saying about the nation's capital (origin 

) -- "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." But if you're President Obama, your Washington friend is your own vice president.

And it's been memed.

In June, President Obama made a video where he went through tasks that required more time than registering to vote. One of his projects? Making a friendship bracelet for Joe Biden. Biden later tweeted a photo of the bracelet for his friend's birthday.

The pair also made a joint video where they did a lap around the White House as part of the first lady's Let's Move campaign.
