Opinion: Joe Biden schedule update: A speech and more “private meetings”

Just a quick update on the vice president’s full schedule today:

The morning will start bright and early around 9 when the White House is releasing Biden into public to give the number of speeches he’s shown indicating above. His remarks (nonbipartisan) will be to the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee.

There goes his morning.

The rest of the vice president’s day will be consumed by a long series of ‘private meetings,’ or maybe one really long private meeting that could require an intermission for you-know-what.

These same unspecified ‘private meetings’ ate up virtually all of Monday too at the Biden home up in Delaware, where he’s been living while waiting for Obama to grow up and this week to return from Chicago.

Biden actually had some more of these mysterious private gatherings on Tuesday too, as The Ticket dutifully reported. Do you suppose these private meetings are like the private meetings that Vice President Dick Cheney had with all those evil energy folks some years back and he wouldn’t release the guest list or the notes so there was a big fight but Biden’s are obviously different?

Mary Phillips-Sandy is asking similar questions over here.

Anyway, after these private meetings all of Wednesday, Biden will make his way over to the Oval Office just before dinner in time to watch his boss speak briefly and sign a real memo. Then, quitting time.
