Bono meets with Biden at the White House

U2 front man and activist Bono met with Vice President Biden at the White House on Tuesday — and he kept his trademark shades on.

Obama's former campaign manager Jim Messina was also at the White House on Tuesday; reporters at the White House press briefing asked questions about spotting both men on campus.

"You witnessed the formation of a new band," White House press secretary Jay Carney joked, according to reports.
