"The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us—especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.

Now would be the time for Joe Biden to throw his hat into the Presidential ring...He would go for the Sympathy vote..and he would get it from the crazy Liberals..

Bill has told Hillary that the best thing that could happen to her is that he die before 2016. And a lot of political creatures have said the same thing. That's how those vermin think.

The fact that this came as such a surprise (hopefully) means that the Bidens handled this with class and don't intend to exploit it.

But, you can bet there are political weasels foaming at the mouth just dying to get him to ride this to the nomination.

Truly sad for the Biden family. May Beau, who served his state in office and his country in its military service, rest in peace.

“Have you read all the comments on this thread? As of 7:50 pdt a whole bunch of hate directed at a family who just lost a son, husband and father. A man who served his country and died very young. Not sure what purpose it serves to spit out vile words for the passing of a man just because we disagree with his political views or the political views of his father. But a lot of Freepers apparently feel it is ok to write hateful comments about the passing of an American veteran.”

I am willing to bet that none of those who posted those comments have lost a child. Those of us who have would wish it on no one, and sympathize with all who have.

and Bill just might. He looks very ill...and sounds confused when speaking..and we know Hillary has helped a few along the exit route...

Just read the statement Hussein Obama made about this sad event..of course it was WRITTEN FOR HIM BY SOMEONE ELSE..AND READ TO THE MSM...AND OF COURSE IT WAS ABOUT HIM AND MOOCHERLLE.
ALL HIS STATEMENT ARE WRITTEN BY OTHERS AS WERE HIS TWO SO CALLED BOOKS...YOU CAN TELL WHEN HE TALKS WITH OUT A TELEPROMTER HE CAN'T PUT A PARAGRAPH TOGETHER WELL AT ALL...JUST AHHHH, HUMMM, AHHH, AND SO FORTH ..YOU GET THE IDEA, I'M SURE...

I am comforted knowing that Joe Biden will never suffer from the same malady that claimed the life of his son. My sympathies to the Biden family.

I believe the comment made was referring specifically to Joe Biden. Beau’s mother died when he was a little boy. Another Biden tragedy.
