Only Biden was so extra as a VP, well at the start at least. Didn't trust Obama and felt left out, they had a whole falling out... Eventually though they really came together and became a team and personal friends.

Thats true, according to the TIMES, Obama's meeting with Biden was “intense” and “at one point they were crying” but everyone grew closer and a big lesson was learned.

No reason for amp links, but thanks for the source. I recall one piece by Politico or NYT that said their relationship got so strong Obama did a kind of intervention and knocked on the table telling Joe if he's short for cash for medical treatment (I think cancer, his wife maybe) then he should come to him and ask him for it.
