Yes, there are lot of fake politicians doing fake things, but NOTfrom these too.
Here are two real friends, sharing a moment of real shared grief, and deep, shared emotion.
A testimony to both of them.
And President Obama's eulogy was superb, for the same reason: eloquent, true, and from the heart.
President Obama is a class act, and anyone who sees differently, well, those folks surely don't see much of anything else.

If you compare Obama and Biden at the funeral with any of the Republican so-called presidential candidates , it's shall we say, a stunning contrast.

Very proud of, and moved by, my president yesterday.
