While President Obama was putting the finishing touches on his Libya conflict speech, and Moammar Khadafy was plotting his next attack on his people, an apparently stressed-out Joe Biden took a minibreak to a ritzy Aspen-area ski resort.
The vice president spent four nights at Snowmass Village in Colorado, arriving in the snow-covered town late Thursday night and leaving Monday — while members of Congress wrangled over the federal budget.
“It’s a pretty low-key visit, definitely a vacation,” Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo, whose office helped provide security for the visiting veep, told the Aspen Times.
Biden combined business with pleasure.
He attended the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, which was held near his ski resort.
