Whether you prefer to call them Obiden, Jobama, or anything else in between, there is no denying that the now former President and Vice-President of the United States were relationship goals. From winning not only one, but two successive elections to nearly breaking the internet, these two were able to gain the support of not only their country but surrounding countries as well. After eight years of watching these two grow closer and closer together, just try not to love them; I dare you. If you’re foolish enough to believe you’ve succeeded, keep scrolling and let me change your mind, because you’re about to witness bromance goals.

If you haven’t fallen in love already, I have no words for you Mr. Grinch, except that I hope one day your heart too will grow. As for Obiden, you will be greatly missed (2008-2016).
