The Obamas and Clintons Join the Bidens at Beau Biden's Funeral

It was a day no parent should have to endure, and it was not the first time Joe Biden has had to bury a child.  At St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in Wilmington, Delaware today, both the Obamas and the Clintons were there to show their support and share their sympathy.  President Obama delivered a heartfelt eulogy as did Beau's sister Ashley and brother Hunter.
