I almost didn't post this with your snide remark about Palin winking but I will try and be a better person then you.
Those tears were real and I am sure everyday he feels the loss. God bless his late wife and daughter.

Wow! Guess what, Sarah Palin isn't asking for your advice on parenting and your statements are critical. Beyond that and much more disturbing is your need to label this precious little boy as a special needs child. You are way off base. He's a baby.

I think they were genuine, but I didn't care for the tears, personally. I know losing a child is a very personal issue that you feel every day for the rest of your life... but if that's the case I wish he'd avoided talking about it. Sorry, Joe--I'm voting for you but the tears made me gag. I'm glad he quickly moved on.

His tears were for the child who lived. His statement was "I didn't know if he would make it."

His wife and 2 youngs kids were in a car crash. The wife dies and kids were in the hospital. Very bad situation. I do not think it is fake to cry about this. I still tear up when I think of my Mom dying years ago. Anyone who says its fake should be ashamed.

I am sorry but his daughter did die also. The boys didn't. I heard she but maybe I heard wrong.

Fool, go look at my previous posts. One thread asked what, if anything, you liked about SP. The ONLY thing I could come up with was her cute baby. I love babies, all babies, and that is precisely why I would never trot one out at 11.00 pm in all that noise and all those lights. Maybe she feels a special closeness with him because of his special needs and wants him out and about and close to her...I don't know. I was responding to someone who thought Biden was being fake by crying over his dead child. I can't imagine what that feels like, and I would never crititicize someone who cried because of that.

Oh, it's too bad she didn't ask for my parenting advice. My 17 year old isn't pregnant. And when exactly IS that girl going to get married?

Those tears did not change any opinions about what a moronic windbag dolt Biden is.
