I do not know whether to laugh or cry. Biden's communications flubs have now spread to his not so secret service entourage. So much for security whether on a plane full of Republicans or in Columbia with prostitutes in the same hotel the President stays. Or, if they spilled the beans on purpose, Biden may take it as an opportunity to up the rent on the little house they stay in to protect him from bad guys and/or himself.
Word of Biden's visit apparently leaked when Secret Service agents were overheard discussing the trip on a flight full of Republicans en route to Tampa.
Is it possible this happened accidentally on purpose?
An Obama campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Biden's visit.
UPDATE: The Obama campaign confirms that Biden will stop in the Tampa area early next week as part of a two-day swing through Florida.

Maybe the Obama Campaign is trying to arrange a convenient departure from the ticket for Ol' Joe?
Think about it, Joe. Why else would thry telegraph you visit, huh?

Oh. Tampa. Trunk convention. Accidently on purpose, just to mess with the Trunks.
But Joe - you ought to consider the other possibilities...

Well here is a perfect example of why I am not a campaign manager.
I see no upside to Barry sending Slow Joe anywhere near Tampa. If the media were the least bit impartial I would think the contrast between a bumbling dimwit demigod and some well informed tea party types would be detrimental to them.
You would think these people would be a little more sensitive to cancer patients. What happens if one of these people dies during Obama's coronation? Will Obama's PAC buddies run commercials accusing him of murder?
On Tuesday, September 4th, the DNC will officially kick off. Tens of thousands from around the world will head to the Queen City and there's no secret, the convention will have a major impact locally, including on people battling cancer.
Matthews resident Sue Falco is fighting stage four colon cancer, and says the DNC will force a major cancer treatment center to close. Carolina's Hematology Oncology Associates on South Tryon will close for four days during the DNC, because of security and traffic concerns.
"It's kind of fascinating how an event like this impacts a city," Falco said.
Carolina's Hematology Oncology Associates will have two other locations open around Mecklenburg County during the DNC. An employee says South Tryon patients will be able to receive treatment at the two other locations.
"I'm very fortunate that I can drive myself to and from chemotherapy but I know a lot of people depend on family members who have to drive a distance to get to their therapy," she said.
Democrats snivel and whine that voters are disenfranchised because they have to drive a couple of miles to get photo ID so they can legally vote. Not a peep from them about sick patients risking their lives to get chemo treatments while they party it up.
For shame. Can you imagine the firestorm this would create if you substituted "RNC" in lieu DNC? The networks would have a field day exploiting these folks and Republicans would be accused of wanting people to die. Well, that's old hat, but you get the point. I guess the DNC wants to show Romney how to kill cancer patients. Another reason I think the party conventions are a huge waste of time and money and too much of an inconvenience.

in 2008, Obama and his campaign tried to put to rest doubts about his lack of executive and private sector experience by making the argument that Obama was the CEO of his campaign.
Lack of experience? Didn't matter since he was the smartest man alive. He was The One.

So Obama, after mismanaging the economy for four years and thinking the private sector is doing fine, thinks he is leading the country out of the recession. He also thinks that if the country elects Romney to fix the economy and Romney turns the country around, Obama should get all the credit. This is a combination of delusion and narcissism that is patently on display.
Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. And Champ is just about there.

Dealing with those egos you are bound to have infighting. Takes a strong leader to keep teams like that functional. Obama just reads the teleprompter.

The FBI launched an investigation after Republican congressmen on a fact-finding mission to the Holy Land took part in a late-night skinny-dip in the Sea of Galilee, it has emerged.
Several prominent politicians and their families joined in the after-dinner swim, prompting concerns among American law enforcement officials that compromising behaviour might have occurred.
Kevin Yoder, a Kansas Republican, admitted stripping off and jumping in alongside clothed colleagues such as Ben Quayle, the Arizona congressman and son of former vice-president Dan Quayle.
"I followed some Members of Congress in a spontaneous and very brief dive into the sea and regrettably I jumped into the water without a swimsuit," Mr Yoder told Politico, the political website, which disclosed details of the incident.

I would rather see the FBI and Department of Justice "investigate" the numerous nefarious activities of members of the CBC, New Black Panthers, or illegals skinny-dipping across the Rio Grande.
I do however, fully understand the overriding motivation.

I'm quite sure Israelis have been skinny-dipping in Lake Kinneret for the last 64 years, and they will be skinny-dipping there for the next 64 years. This is nonsense.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
