President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, had their official welcome tour of their new home on Monday, and today Joe and Jill Biden will be received at the Naval Observatory grounds.
Dick and Lynne Cheney will give their successors a glimpse of their new quarters and host them for dinner. One wonders what the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one of the chief architects of the war on terror might have to say to one another.
Biden has made it clear that he does not share Cheney's view on the office of the vice president. The Delaware senator has been enraged by Cheney's assertions that he is not a member of the executive branch. In his Oct. 2 debate with Sarah Palin, Biden characterized Cheney as "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history."
Unfortunately for those curious to see tonight's potentially awkward interaction, the meeting will take place behind closed doors.
