I’ve heard Biden speak at several funerals/memorials (not in person of course). His remarks have always been appropriate and respectful. Although at his other appearances he often shows himself as a buffoon, at these solemn occasions he respects the moment.
In all of his appearances, Obama always presents himself as being above all others, arrogant and his remarks always go back to him. Given the circumstances, Biden’s presence was more appropriate than had Obama been there.
Double post!! ARRRGH!!
