According to CBS News, Vice President Biden may have fallen asleep during President Obama's press conference on debt reduction. The video shows him with his eyes closed although he may be thinking deeply and not sleeping. However, if you pay close attention to the lady with glasses sitting behind and to the left of V.P. Biden, she too seems to be falling asleep. What does this say for V.P. Biden and the lady behind him if they both fell asleep, what does it say about President Obama's oratory abilities if they were able to fall asleep and lastly, what does this tell us about CBS News or whoever took the video- did they have nothing better do to than to place a camera on V.P. Biden?
Tonight may be a night to watch some info-tainment news shows as this is sure to be included in the telecast.
Hilarious. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this in the pseudo-journalistic news. It will be interesting to see if the open liberal Daily Show makes fun of the President and the V.P. as much as others do.
ReplyDeleteClassic example of soft news.. Entertaining blog post
ReplyDeleteAgree with Sarit, media is trying to make a big deal out of nothing and make these people's actions more embarassing and representative of bigger problems. Its just funny that he fell asleep, maybe a little embarassing, I'm sure loads of people have done it before.
ReplyDeleteFunny. There was also an article in the Chicago Tribune today about it and apparently this does happen often. Clinton fell asleep during a 2008 tribute to MLK and during Reagan's funeral(!). McCain was apparently sleeping during Obama's 2007 State of the Union.
