Vice President Joe Biden will attend the funeral of a slain NYPD officer, the White House announced.

“The President has asked Vice President Biden to attend the service for Officer Rafael Ramos and is grateful that the Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be traveling to New York City to attend the service on Saturday. Additional details will be forthcoming from the Vice President’s office,” said spokesman Eric Schultz.

The president was on the golf course, in Hawaii, when the announcement was made. He's scheduled to return to Washington on January 4.

I wouldn’t let Joe Biden attend any important funeral ever.

If I were the victim, I would not want him at my funeral— he’s a POS!

Seriously, US presidents need to discontinue attending funerals except for major disasters, throwing out baseballs, and flying overseas to hobnob with dictators.

As well as wasting two weeks of the federal government’s time, and dozens of millions of dollars, on that worthless dog-and-pony show known as the State of the Union Address. In case you wonder, the last POTUS to send it to congress in writing was Jimmy Carter, once. Probably the best thing he did during his time in office.

In any event, the president should have a “formal gathering representative”, to go to funerals *on behalf of the POTUS*, send his Secretary of State overseas to blather with the dictators, and to heck with baseball games, other than to send a note encouraging the players on both teams to have fun, play a fair game, and give the fans some good entertainment.

One could actually take seriously the idea of Joe Biden genuinely being upset by the officers’ murder. But Obama? No way.

Frankly, neither one of the stooges should be there. They’ve been part of the problem.

If I was a family member, I’d ask Mayor Rudy to come and disinvite Mayor Wilhelm.

The cynical and bitter me sees this as an insult. Sending up the clown to NYC reveals serious lack of gravitas.

If you want to read something funny, go to The Onion and do a search on Biden.

I would not want either one at any funeral of my kin..Biden should be escorted out of the church..and told not to come back..Obama is afraid he will get boohooed since everyone knows he is a criminal protector not a law abiding person..

Don’t worry - he’ll probably attend the funeral of the guy killed near St Louis.

And Biden said, “Finally, I get to do what a vice president is supposed to do.”

When Sharpton, De Blasio, Holder and Obozo get through having their thugs kill NYC cops, the science fiction movie "Escape from New York" will be a reality. The good people will have fled to Red States and left NYC to become a super slum, which would dangerous/lethal to anyone in it.

Be a real tragedy if Barry went for a Hawaiian swim and turned into shark chow.

Imagine the headlines if the diner turned out to be a great white !
