As the 39th president is eulogized in Washington National Cathedral, Biden tells mourners his long-ago predecessor “taught me ... the strength of character.”

Trump is obviously no fan of Biden, but Obama and his veep also have a famously complex relationship, only made more so after Obama helped nudge Biden to quit the presidential race last summer. Surely Obama feels some frustration that Biden fumbled a possibly winnable race; maybe he couldn’t help spill to his sworn enemy?

Jimmy Carter has been remembered at his funeral as a man of “character” and “something of a miracle” with “prophetic” vision.
