Obama visits with grieving Biden
President Barack Obama visited with Vice President Joe Biden and his family on Sunday to offer personal condolences on the death of the vice president’s son, Beau.
The visit came as tributes poured in from across the political spectrum over the death of the younger Biden, a former Delaware attorney general, who died Saturday of brain cancer at the age of 46.
The statements largely focused on the commitment to family and country by both father and son. And some alluded to the past personal tragedies suffered by the vice president, who lost his first wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972, and has been known over the years since for his fierce devotion to his children.
“Life for them is family,” said Secretary of State John Kerry, who was close to the vice president during their decades in the Senate. He recounted the former Delaware senator’s pride when Beau, a major in the Delaware National Guard, chose to stay in Iraq instead of coming home to be appointed to his father’s Senate seat.
“Beau is just so good,” Kerry recalled Joe Biden saying. “He’s so good.”
