Found It

I knew I had a previous engagement lying around here somewhere.

At first, Vice President Joe Biden didn’t know about his schedule, according to President Barack Obama’s Press Secretary Josh Earnest:

The vice president’s schedule for [the week in question] has not yet been set.

Then the priority turned up.

A White House official confirmed to Fox News on Friday that the vice president will miss the address, as he will be traveling abroad.

Going to an undisclosed location…. Joe Biden is President of the Senate, so he normally—and under protocol imperatives—attends joint sessions of Congress. But something finally came up.

Skipping Congressional Addresses

Posted on 11 February 2015 by eehines

Will President Barack Obama and his Democrat minions skip this one, too?

Pope Francis will address a joint meeting of the House and Senate on Sept 24, becoming the first pontiff to do so, House Speaker John Boehner [R, OH] said Thursday.

“We’re humbled that the Holy Father has accepted our invitation and certainly look forward to receiving his message on behalf of the American people,” Boehner…told reporters.

Oh, wait, Obama is getting a private audience all his own.
