Bono’s VP Connection
As everyone has probably heard, Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama has selected Senator Joe Biden as his choice for Vice President. It should be of no surprise that Bono has already met with Biden over the years. Here is Bono with a handful of US Senators when he visited the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on October 3, 2007:
Here’s a photo from the same meeting, courtesy of Comedy Central:
Bono has also said of Senator Biden on One.org:
“America’s global AIDS plan has proved to be a smart investment, paying dividends in live saved, communities stabilized and America’s reputation in the world growing a little bit brighter. This stuff works and leaders from left and right — leaders like Senators Biden and Lugar, Representatives Berman and Ros-Lehtinen, President Bush, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid - put aside their differences and agreed to do more.”
Ironically, Bono sat next to Senator Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast and has met with not only him, but also Senator McCain earlier in the year. (Although I can’t seem to find a photo of Bono with McCain. Odd!)

It is odd. It’s all orchestrated. It’s funny to see those in their 60’s with power use Bono to get to those of us a bit younger… all for a vote.
