Senator Reid was just with President Obama in Hawaii to attend the funeral of the Late Senator Inouye. I would expect him to know where the President stands.

"Daniel was the best senator among us all," (click here) said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during the ceremony at Honolulu's National Memorial Cemetery, a beautiful site located in an extinct volcano.

President Obama's family resided in Hawaii, so I would expect him to be present at the Senator's funeral.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama look on as Sen. Daniel Inouye's widow, Irene, is given the flag that was draped over her husband's casket.

I am sure they were great friends. It was Hawaii's first President elected from his home state.
