Biden unsure he has 'emotional fuel' after son's death
The Hill via WND ^ | 8/26/2015 | Jordan Fabian

Vice President Biden told a group of Democrats Wednesday he is figuring out whether he has the “emotional fuel” to run for president, CNN reported.

Biden, whose son Beau died from brain cancer in May, said he would have to commit his “heart” and “soul” to a presidential campaign, both of which are “pretty well banged up.”

Honorable mention for WND. Their sight is improving. I thinking I might not have to read them in the dead of night with the lights dimmed anymore. I guess that's as backhanded as it gets.

As for the OP:

Earlier somewhere someplace I read that quotes from Hillary that feigned concern of Biden's well being should he decide to run. I kid you not.

Now this from Biden.

I think it's safe to assume that Hillary is getting a pass and will have to fight it out in the court of public opinion.

Doesn’t have the mental fuel either.

But that has not hurt Dorkbama the Muslim.

Give him all he emotional fuel he needs because it won't help if he has no “brain fuel.”

There is nothing worse for a parent than losing a child and I don’t think we ever get over it.

I have it on good authority that Biden has vowed to master two-syllable words before year’s end.

I don’t doubt his sincerity, but he sounds like he is looking for support and sympathy, such as he would seek if he were to become a candidate....

I’m surprised he hasn’t checked out already. Losing a son must be awful!

Maybe the most honest thing I ever heard Biden say

Losng a child at any age is a terrible emotional burden and Joe is no youngster- plus watching his son die from that disease? Total helpless despair

I agree,I lost a son.Took 2 years for me not to think about him everyday and scream.Then I lost all memory of him.I have a psychiatrist friend who told me my brain could not handle it so that memory shut down.He really shouldn’t run.

I don't even imagine the gut wrenching, soul draining process of losing one of your children to a horrible long term death like cancer...

Biden is at least being honest...

There is a first for everything...

I personally would understand his leanings...on this.

And I'll leave it at that.
