Obama offered to help Biden financially during son's illness By Reuters

WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden said President Barack Obama offered to give him money to help with expenses after his son Beau was battling cancer.

In an interview broadcast on CNN on Monday, Biden said Obama made the offer during lunch after Biden told him he was considering selling his house to raise funds to help Beau, who died of brain cancer in May 2015 at age 46.

Biden said at the time of the lunch it appeared Beau might have to resign his position as Delaware's attorney general because of the illness.

"My concern is if Beau resigns there is nothing to fall back on, his salary. But I said I worked it out, Jill and I will sell the house and we'll be in good shape," Biden said.

"(Obama) got up and said: 'Don't sell that house. Promise me you won't sell the house,'" Biden said. "(Obama) said, 'I'll give you the money. Whatever you need, I'll give you the money. Don't Joe, Promise me. Promise me.'"

"Did Mooch-shell offer any of the huge pile of dough she must have stacked somewhere from that 6-figure salary she pulled in from that hospital job she never went to?"

You forgot her extorted gig on the board of directors for Treehouse Foods.

Not only that, but this coupled with his regret of not running. Will set the stage for him to rescue the rats hopes.

Biden is the dumbest ‘government servant’ of all time. Everyone else has leveraged it into millions......except him. And look how long he’s been there.

I’m sure this financial aid was the same aid he provided his brother in Kenya!

Obama is a tight wad POS! He wouldn’t pay for anything himself.

Exactly what I thought reading the commenter admiring him for NOT doing so. Dumb as a post.

The interview with Biden was on Morning Joe this morning. Biden told the story and I have no doubt ... he was telling the truth.

I don't like democrat solutions to anything.. but there are some nice people on that side occasionally...
