President Obama's Greatest Bromances

The commander-in-chief's famous friends.

Chris Christie - In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie praised the Obama Administration's storm relief response to the country's hardest hit areas. Despite sitting on opposite sides of the aisle politically (Christie is a staunch Republican), their bond during troubling times was so heartwarming it was even parodied by Mad magazine.

Martin Nesbitt - Chicago business man Martin Nesbit has been regarded as Obama's closest friend. Their children played together growing up and Obama is the godfather of Nesbitt's youngest son. Nesbitt supported Obama's early Senate campaigns and served as his campaign treasurer during his 2008 presidential run. Plus, the two pals have been known to shoot hoops together in their off time.
