John McCain requested that former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush deliver eulogies at his funeral, CBS News has confirmed. McCain, who had been suffering from an aggressive form of brain cancer, died Saturday at the age of 81 at home in Arizona. Both Mr. Obama and Mr. Bush will deliver their remarks during a service at the National Cathedral.

Former Vice President Joe Biden will speak at a separate service honoring the senator in Arizona.

Which is now apparent to ALL, that voting for Democrat or for Repubican was and is the same thing...until Trump came along. We were then given a choice.

Anyone want to start a pool as to the exact number of times that Obama and Bush will use the circumstance to slam Trump?

It’s going to happen, standby.

The McCain family is forgetting everything Obama said about John McCain during the Presidential Campaign of 2008?

Read John Kass in today’s Chicago Tribune - He reprints the names Obama called McCain in 2008.

Captain Ahab requested two equally obsessed retired whalers to deliver eulogies. Whatta guy.

Two more reasons to not watch the ceremony . . . not that I was going to anyway . . . Will Obambi’s husband Mike be there too?

Just saw it will be Bush and Biden.

That would be just like the Democrats to replace Obama with Biden, so that Biden's 2020 presidential campaign can be launched.

Another way for the media to hoist up the deep state jokers and trash President Trump.

President Trump most likely relieved.

Well, at least Obama will not be talking about McCain at his funeral... like every other speech Obama delivered, the subject matter will be about himself instead... so that aspect of it MIGHT make it worth watching for at least 30 seconds.

Why would you want either of them doing your eulogy? GW can barely speak and Barack will just talk about himself.

Obama doesn’t go to funerals; the deceased gets more attention than he does.

McCain's death will be honored by the Deep State only. The rest of the country doesn't care about this Keating 5 crook. Now President Reagan's death was a whole different matter. President Reagan was loved and respected by hundreds of millions world wide. McCain not so much.

FYI MSM, I for one will be watching anything except the news until this Keating 5 crook is buried and out of the news.

Which raises the question; how long will his pre-recorded bigscreen video eulogy for himself be?

Do they think Trump will be jealous?
That’s funny. Actually, it’s pathetic.
