Olympics appear to be safe (sort of):
New York, February 3 — Vice President Joe Biden will be heading American delegation to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, according to a press release on Tuesday.
Biden will travel to Vancouver from Feb. 12 to Feb. 15 and would meet U.S. athletes, dignitaries, and world leaders.
President Barack Obama will skip the Winter Games this time. An official at the U.S. consulate in Vancouver said, “The president was in Ottawa last February and this year it’s the vice-president’s turn.”
A second delegation headed by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will be going to Vancouver to attend the closing ceremony on Feb. 28.
That ceremony will also be attended by Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
He’s boycotting because of the Copenhagen “Incident”.
