Joe Biden Postpones Trip to Tampa Citing Concerns About Tropical Storm Isaac

Vice President Joe Biden Postpones Trip to Tampa Due to Tropical Storm Isaac

Vice President Joe Biden (file photo)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is postponing his planned trip to Tampa, Fla., the site of the Republican National Convention.

An Obama campaign official says Biden is putting off Monday’s trip in order to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on Tropical Storm Isaac, which could impact Florida during the convention.

Biden had planned a two-day swing through Florida during the Republican meetings to counter their message. The official says Biden still plans to continue with stops in Orlando and St. Augustine, Fla., on Tuesday, though those plans could also change based on the weather.

The official wouldn’t say whether Biden would reschedule his stop in Tampa, only that the campaign was monitoring the storm. The official requested anonymity in order to speak ahead of the campaign’s official announcement.

      He just realized he was booked to the wrong convention.

      Poor Joe has lost it.

      Just pray Obama can hang on until we vote him out because Biden would prob launch our own nukes on us.

      He post poned because news got out and it will no longer be a surprise. I heard (and yes, I realize this sounds like a conspiracy theory…I was never a conspiracy theorist until this administration and I wouldn’t put anything past them) that they had something planned that would make the public sympathetic towards BiteMe and hurt the Republicans. Maybe their Patsy got picked up by the law for being illegally here and is in jail.

    Wow, Biden is afraid of Isaac? In the Bible, Isaac means “he laughs”.

    My name must be Isaac… because I’m laughing at Biden being too afraid to come to Tampa.

    Or did Obama put Biden on restriction for his latest flubs?

    BO; Joe, you’re a really great gut but, you’re restricted to your room.
    JB; Awww, come on man, I’ve been really good for you.
    BO; Yea, but you keep messing up.
    JB; Come on man. all I want to do is go to Tampa.
    BO; Joe, you will just get in trouble there.
    JB; How can I get in trouble? There’s a Hurricane coming to Tampa.
    BO; What? A hurricane is coming to Tampa?
    JB; Yea dude… haven’t you heard?
    BO; OK Joe, go to Tampa.
    JB; Wow!! Thanks man. Goodbye.
    BO; (makes phone call) Hey Valerie,
    VJ; Yea, I’m busy, whad’a want?
    BO; Joe is headed to Tampa… what do you think?
    VJ; Well, call Hillary and give her the code name “Vince Foster”…. she’ll know what to do.
    BO; What do I do after that?
    VJ; Tell Hillary she’s next in line for VP.
    BO; Buuuut, whad about Joe?
    VJ; You can visit him in the park later.
    BO; Wow, you are the best. How is Van doing?
    VJ; He is waiting for you in the park later.
    BO; OK. I will leave it all in your hands.
    VJ; Of course you will. Now go tell Michele that you really like her cooking.
    BO; OK. See you later. (hangs up)
    Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Biden should cancel. He will be dragging the Secret service and the crew into a Hurricane,just so he can prank Romney….that makes no sense to unnecessarily put people in harm’s way.

    Hurricane Isaac is what you call Divine Intervention…it will keep Biden and his crew away.

      Crazy Joe is probably more worried about his reputation as part of a failed administration that’s worse than Carter’s regime than obama’s reputation for making idiotic statements only to be upstaged by Joe.

      RNC should’ve sold mental ward “Butterfly nets” and have a BidenCam follow him around Tampa and report the sightings…

      They found out we were on to their plan, plus the hurricane will make it harder for the Occupy to bait the Tea Party folk, because they won’t be outside standing in the rain. Thus, no rioting to accidentally shoot Joe.

    Someone told Joe this wasn’t the DNC convention. He is pissed, plus when he heard Issac is coming to town, I think he had a flashback to the 70′s, Isaac Brown, a pimp in Boston, beat the snot out of him for stiffing his ho, Joe thinks he is still after him for that $20. Plus, the Ice Capades are in DC that week, he loves Snoopy on Ice.
