Vice President Biden chose an inopportune time for either a nap or some deep reflection today.

As President Obama weighed in on one of the most important issues of the day, outlining his plan to deal with deficit reduction and attack the national debt, at least one audience member did not appear to be fully engaged.

Biden, at one point, could be seen apparently nodding off -- or at least deep in thought. The bug was catching, too. The woman in glasses directly behind Biden appears to close her eyes too.



Can't say I blame him, I would have probably fell asleep too if I had to listen to a speech after lunch.

Meetings are like sleeping pills for me.  It doesn't matter if I am interested in the subject and wide awake at the start of the meeting.  I will soon be checking my eyelids for leaks.

Depends for me.  Subject matter, presenter all make a difference.

Used to be a co-worker of mine who could knock a room out even with the most interesting of subjects.  He just had that knack.  He was like tryptophan personified.
