It's been a really beautiful, poignant service. Classy, elegant, moving. I feel so bad for Joe Biden - I've never seen him so visibly sad.

I just want to hug Joe Biden as hard as I can. I'm crying too.

You could see the love that Barack and Joe have for each other. They are truly friends..

They always forget that, then wonder why everyone is still broken.

Rest easy, Beau.

But if we need to lie by omission, maybe it's all lies anyway.

I would agree - the time for this would be in our White schools - when is that lesson taught?

There are times I wish there was Cable TV in the Manistee National Forest. This is one of them, so I could see coverage of this.
