On Saturday, Joe Biden departed for yet another vacation to their Delaware beach house. That marks 242 days spent on rest and pleasure since the president took office less than two years ago.
The evening before his departure, the White House hosted a massive party to mark the passage of $6 billion in taxpayer money on AIDS and HIV research and prevention.
