Hangin' with Joe

While his boss is in Europe attending G20, Vice President Joe Biden decided to visit North Carolina to discuss stimulus money and health care in rural parts of the country. Covering this took me to Goshen Medical Center in Faison, NC. After enduring the thorough dog searches and pat downs, the media waited with bated breathe in the small conference room for Biden to arrive. He was late, apparently because he got a long distance call from Barack before he got out of the car.



Note: despite being patted down at the building's entrance and having to prove that my cameras were actually cameras and not blocks of explosive (done by taking a picture of the security guard) I was still able to enter the room with a knife. I had forgotten to take it out of my pocket, where it was clipped. Oops.
