For the first time since leaving office, former President Barack Obama visited the White House on Tuesday.
Obama was back to celebrate one of his signature achievements, the Affordable Care Act, alongside President Joe Biden. Biden was Obama's vice president for eight years.
Speaking from the East Room, Biden and Obama announced steps that the White House said will make health care more affordable, including closing a loophole that prevents millions of Americans from qualifying for subsidies.
"It is good to be back in the White House. It's been a while," Obama said he began his remarks. "I confess I heard some changes have been made by the current President since I was last here. Apparently Secret Service agents have to wear aviator sunglasses now. The Navy Mess has been replaced by a Baskin-Robbins. And there's a cat running around."
Obama started his speech by addressing his host as "Vice President Biden" before quickly correcting himself. "That was a joke!" he said, walking over to give Biden a hug. "That was all set up. My President, Joe Biden."
Obama joined Biden for lunch on Tuesday, continuing a tradition from Obama's two terms when they had lunch together every week.
