Party Pooper: Joe Biden Cancels Summer Party for Journalists

Since 2010, Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden have invited top journalists to their home at the Naval Observatory for a beach bash that has included Super Soaker fights, face painting, and a moon bounce.

The Vice President's office declined to comment on the record regarding the decision to forego a party this summer.

In March, The White House announced that it would temporarily suspend official White House tours "due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration," but it is unclear if the Vice President's party was cancelled for similar reasons.
