Oh, That Joe! (No. 49 in a Series) - Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing Deal' - Political Punch

It looks like our vice president has dropped the F-bomb on air and after being asked about it, Robert Gibbs confirms it, as quoted below.

The microphone on the podium picked up Biden leaning in and saying to Obama: “This is a big f-ing deal.”

Perhaps not the most appropriate choice of words, but the White House has not only confirmed Biden’s comments but given its stamp of approval to his declaration.

“And yes Mr. Vice President, you're right...,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Twitter.

I respect our president, VP, and most of the current administration and I largely believe that they do a pretty good job. But this sort of behavior is not cool. Any public official should conduct themselves in a professional manner, especially when they represent the entire country.

Dear lord, I missed the part of the bill that launches all of our nukes at ourselves. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Who doesn't use the f-bomb these days, to be honest? This is such a non-story.

Moderator's Warning:
One post in and already it begins. There are litearlly DOZENS of threads to debate about the health care bill. Anyone attempting to derail this into one will be thread banned. Stick ot the topic, namely Biden's actions
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

Biden should not have dropped the f bomb. It's immature and unprofessional. It's vulgar speech and it's shameful for our vice president to talk that way, especially on air. I think a man's words reflect his character.
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

Face it, Biden is actually more stupid than G W Bush is.
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

While I am not upset about Vice President Biden dropping the bomb, I do think he should have been aware of his surroundings. Seriously, don't say things a Vice President shouldn't be saying by a microphone.
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

It's just a word, y'all. And from my perspective, not a particularly bad one. I mean, who doesn't like to f**k? I've never understood our deeply ingrained pantywaist tendencies about profanity in this country. Anyone who's spent any time with any brits realize that they use profanity much more frequently (and frankly, hilariously, the brits have the best profanity).

While I agree with you, there is a time and place for certain words. I am not sure that it was the place to be dropping the bomb.
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

I don't have a problem with it. Politicians are still human, the last time I checked. They goof up. The vast majority of Americans swear, so I don't see a problem with Biden swearing, especially if it's not an ad hominem directed at someone. They already have a Secretary of State for that.

If anything, I encourage Democrats to swear. They're not the religiously pious, holier-than-thou folks who like to shove morality in your face like a banana cream pie at a circus. Just dodge the Bible-thumping Republican who will chase you with holy water afterward and yell, "The power of Christ compels you!".

Damn, that would be funny.

I have a different perspective. I don't believe the VP should be dropping "F" bombs at public appearances. Biden is an embarrasment to Obama.

Obama is an embarrassment to the USA, Biden merely apes his master.

:lol: Are you kidding? Biden makes Palin sound like Socrates. [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates]Socrates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] One could put together a list of the stupid things said and done by both and Biden's list would be three times as long and three times as egregious as Palin's.

I stand corrected. Once again I am confusing intelligence with ignorance. I actually do think Palin is reasonably intelligent....
 
Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

The question was asked back when Dan (the Brainiac) Quayle left office if anyone thought we would ever have a VP that was as big a dumb ass as he was.

Well there is no question that in Biden we have at least a tie.

Yes Susie we do have a few dumb asses in Government. Why back in may 2008 a really stupid or totally stoned Obama said:
"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Now that showed his brilliance, so we have to say with all the mental gaffs Biden has done in his first sad year in office he is quickly catching up with the Amateur in Chief Der Fuhrer Obama.

I think it's funny to say near an obviously open mic. shows genius and it's pretty damn funny.

What a couple of maroons the fools elected.

just imagine if the table was turned and it was the other party that dropped the f-bomb on TV. MSM wouldn't let it die, it would have been expolited as unprofessional and embarrasing, however another free pass is given.

You mean like when Dick Cheney told Sen. Patrick Leahy, on the Senate floor, "go **** yourself".

It was over almost as soon as it was said, which it should have been.

Who ****ing cares? Seriously, I'm getting sick of people being bent out of shape when our politicians curse. Guess what...they do it a lot. Most of the time; we don't hear about it. But everyone ****ing curses, and it's just not a big ****ing deal. Ok, I can see the point of not wanting them running around cursing out diplomats or dropping the f-bomb every other sentence like I do. But this is one time, it doesn't ****ing matter, it's not a ****ing deal, who gives a ****? So he said ****, **** it, it doesn't matter.

Biden's a wussy though, someone should make him drink a PBR.

Those who are illiterate have a habit of using profanity as they have no knowledge of how to express themselves in any other civilized manner.

Re: Vice President Biden Sums Up Health Care Reform Legislation: 'This is a Big F-ing

It wouldn't matter if it were Bush, Obama, Biden, Palin, Clinton (take your pick), Reagan, FDR or Lincoln, a President or VP shouldn't drop f-bombs in public. It's not presidential. I don't think Biden should be impeached for it, but I think he should strive not to do that again. I trust Obama has already said as much to him in private.
