Interesting look & body language by the President after the 25 second mark when Biden makes the quip. Obviously not that big a deal but the look bodes well for those who are willing to wager Joe will have many more of these moments.

A bullet-proof suit is a thing that exists, apparently. Miguel Caballero, a Colombian designer, makes a line of bullet-proof clothing because he lives in Colombia, aka the set of “The Warriors.” Obama might have worn a Caballero suit, although obviously the Secret Service isn’t going to confirm that.
