Biden Vacations in Virgin Islands for Second Time in Three Months Daniel Halper March 7, 2014 7:01 AM
The White House announced that Vice President Joe Biden would spend the weekend vacationing in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's his second vacation there in three months.
His White House schedule reads:
DAILY GUIDANCE FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT
Friday, March 7 – Sunday, March 9
The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will visit the U.S. Virgin Islands. There are no public events scheduled.
And as Geoff Earle of the New York Post reported on December 27, the vice president spent New Year's on the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"Vice President Biden doesn’t have to worry about playing second fiddle to his boss when it comes to tropical vacations," Earle reported.
"President Obama’s No. 2, and 2016 presidential prospect, jets Friday to the U.S. Virgin Islands aboard Air Force Two, the White House announced Thursday night. He’ll be there through New Year’s.
"That puts Biden just steps away from some of the Caribbean’s best snorkeling at the same time Obama is strolling Hawaii’s spectacular golf courses and hiking trails."
oh, shows you what I know
Everybody had the same chance as Joe Biden to become Vice President but chose a different route. This is how it is. I don’t remember the bitching with Cheney. I think a weekend vacation is not a big deal. If you have issues, then run for President or at least get on the ticket as VP.
get over yourself
I was simply descibing why a weekend to the Virgin Islands is a lot more “vacation time” than a typical American would get. Show me factually where that was “bitching” or where the VP does not get the VIP treatment I descibed
As for Cheney getting a pass from public criticism....
LOL. Just LOL.
Bad joke, yeah. But the joke is on us..
Not so much - his brother (BIL?) has a house there. Biden is a joke, but this is no big deal.
