According to a press release from Rep. Ed Perlmutter:

Tomorrow, Congressman Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) will host Vice President Joe Biden, and members of the Colorado delegation at the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) located in the 7th CD in Golden, CO.

“Vice President Biden’s visit showcases the importance NREL, the crown jewel of renewable energy research labs, has in transforming the way we power our nation and achieving energy independence,” stated Perlmutter. “The best way to move our nation forward toward long-term economic security and stability is to ensure a solid infrastructure allowing innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship to flourish. The important research work from the dedicated scientists at NREL means about 5,500 private and public sector jobs here in Colorado. Investing in our long-term energy independence will help us afford to fill up our gas tanks in the short term, and quite simply, is good for jobs, our national security and our climate.”

This event with Vice-President Biden launches Perlmutter’s Innovation Tour scheduled for June 28 – 30th. Each of these days, Perlmutter will highlight local small businesses spawned by the growth in the alternative energy, aerospace and bioscience fields. Details of the tour and media availability will be released in the days preceding the tours.

“Small businesses are the engines of our economy,” said Perlmutter. “Our commitment to helping small businesses in these industries succeed will mean good paying, stable jobs for now and into the future. They will help our district, state and nation lead the way toward ensuring the United States’ remains competitive and we achieve long-term security and prosperity.”

Crap! My PTSI, TBI and Returning Veteran Session is at DU’s Craig Hall from 0900-Noon. I guess I can’t expect the Guv and Mayoral candidates to show up if they’re busy schmoozing Joe….

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I’m tellin’ you why

Joe Biden is coming to town.

We’ll **bleep** him when you’re sleeping

We’ll **blank** when you’re awake

We’ll censor every gaffe and curse

That our Vice President makes

  If he’s not shooting a friend with a shotgun, he’s not my vice president.

    LOL!
    
    PS – What is it with VPs these days? Dick Cheney told Sen. Leahy to go Cheney himself, now we’ve got Joe “Big F’in Deal” Biden.
    
    Is it a prerequisite that you have to be able to drop the F-bomb in support of your President? ’cause I could qualify for that!

whether David got his 11th-hour one-hour audience.

How long before David posts that Biden is ducking him?

  It’s that he never holds town hall meetings and for some reason backed the administration’s financial reform legislation even though it will send the economy into a death spiral despite the fact some of us want to pay higher taxes but Roxy Huber is an incompetent bureaucrat who gets in the way of business growth in this state because no one can give a consistent answer on which kinds of software get taxed how (I have the emails to prove this).
