Vice President Joe Biden was 45 minutes late for an education event in Washington Tuesday morning, and he blamed President Barack Obama. Mr. Biden said the president, who is on the last leg of a trip to South and Central America, surprised him with a call from Air Force One to discuss the military operation in Libya.
The vice president said Mr. Obama, who was en route to El Salvador from Chile, convened the previously unscheduled conference call with his national security team to discuss the U.S.-led operation, which is drawing criticism from Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Mr. Obama has said he wants to hand off leadership of military operations in Libya within a matter of days.
Mr. Biden apologized to the audience at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, explaining that when the president calls from Air Force One, “you take the call.”
