VP Biden AWOL on Deficit Talks

My 'if so' was not meant to imply they did not plan the trip... it was meant to wonder why they would plan the trip, AND put him in charge of the negotiations, knowing he would not be around for part of the negotiations.

I really have no answer to that. Stupid thinking I guess but again I'm sure he's being kept in the loop with what's being discussed. I don't understand the point of this topic. It's just a frivolous attack.
 
That dumb comment doesn't even fit in here. What does that have to do with the budget?

thread title: VP Biden AWOL on Deficit Talks
seems you missed the allusion to the shrub being awol from the white house while chopping wood on his texas ranch
hope that brings you up to speed; the explanation shouldn't have really been needed
 
This trip to Italy was probably planned months ago (giving the fact that he's the VP, security is high and these things are planned months ahead and no public notice is given) and he is now going.

And i will bet you he will be joining them on the deficit talks via telepresence or whatever other program, even a telephone.

given the time difference, i sincerely doubt this.
 
Being negotiated. It makes no sense practically or politically to put out a plan that cannot pass.

what? no it's not. Senator Reid has openly said it would be foolish to do so. There Is No Democrat Plan. There was a progressive budget that some individuals put out.... that had less support than the Ryan Budget by far (I don't think it even got a majority of Democrats).
