Beau Biden Back in the Hospital

Biden's son hospitalized at Walter Reed: http://hill.cm/ygjwHMW


Vice President Biden’s son, Beau, is being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with an undisclosed illness.

The vice president’s office confirmed to The Hill that Beau is at the hospital, but offered nothing further.

A source told CNN said the situation with Beau Biden is “serious.”

Beau Biden, the former Delaware attorney general and Army officer, has battled with illnesses in the past.

He suffered a mild stroke in 2010 and received treatment at a Houston cancer center after what NBC News confirmed was the discovery of a mass on his brain.

Joe Biden had two operations for problems with his brain. He was told he had only a 35 to 50 percent chance of being normal after the operation.

I sure do wish Beau well.

Been waiting for him to announce . . .

I feel bad for him and his family, and for those of us who'd like to see him in the race.....
