Joe Biden: "F-Bomb" During Health Care Signing was the Highlight of the Day

President Obama joked this week that Vice President Joe Biden's F-bomb during Tuesday's historic health care signing was the best part of the day, Biden revealed Wednesday night.

Speaking at a fundraising dinner in Baltimore, Biden roused some laughter from the crowd as he discussed his open mic gaffe, the Los Angeles Times reports. He reportedly said the president also wanted a t-shirt with the remark on it -- something he could easily find online.

Biden said he told Mr. Obama, "If you thought it was so good, why didn't you say it?"

The vice president also told the crowd of Democratic supporters that the passage of health care legislation "represents fundamental change in an incredibly, incredibly difficult political environment." He warned them that Democrats may lose congressional seats in the upcoming midterm elections.

"We're going to have losses. ... Barack generated such an overwhelming turnout and enthusiasm, that we had the biggest turnout in history," Biden said, according to pool reports. "It was gigantic. And a lot of really good Democrats got washed up on shore and all of a sudden were congressmen, in districts that Democrats have no business having congressmen."

Spaz out about a simple word. I dont even support Obama or Biden but seriously people need to lighten up a bit. You hard core conservatives need to remove the stick from your a$$ and slouch a bit and relax.
You cant keep your children in a bubble. It was only a matter of time until they heard that word. Maybe you should educate them and tell them nobody is perfect. Even if little miss mommy and daddy want to go to church every Sunday and act like it. Get a life and quit whining. I think its cool that a person that high up shows he is a real man and not some silver spoon fed proper grammer speaking tool. Whether I agree with health care or not they were obviously happy about their victory. It was a battle that they one and he when NORMAL people get excited sometimes things like that get blurted out. Once again quit acting perfect you hoity toity flamers. Come and get it weaklings.

Wait till the tide goes out in november Joey. I've watched you haul your wagon load of crapola around Delware for decades and wondered in amazement that so many people in our fair state could not see you for what you really are. A second to last law school grad that got into politics because he knew he wasn't going to be pimple on a real attorney's butt.

I cannot believe that Obama is crass enough to say "he wished he had said that first", just think what the media would have said if that had been Bush saying he wished he had said that. Also, something else as bad and totally AGAINST PROTOCOL that was on TV this morning-Obama left the Prime Minister of Israel sitting in a waiting room for an HOUR while he went to EAT DINNER. That is the worst manners of any president with a head of state in the white house that I have EVER heard of !!! outrageous!! Must have got his manners out of the Chicago slums!!

Do they not understgand that kids watch them "make history"? That qoute will not make the history books

Watching a old man say the F word is tacky.

[anchoragemichael]

You know what? It IS a big f**king deal! I hear much more offensive things coming out of Palin, Coulter and Limbaugh's faces every day!

[USMC-Mom]

Its tacky for all of them, worse for the VP.

[wfw3536]

How sad it is in our country when people make this such a big deal when our VP uses the F word. Are these the type of people that we should look up to when they do not have enough good sense to use appropriate language.

[IndepTex20]

Wonderful leadership..............right!? So Johnny, what do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be the MotherF***ing Vice President!!

[hateisafourletterword]

Pretty sad liberals. An F bomb is the highlight of your day after raping America again. God help us.

[TVO1CITW]

Comparing these two bozo's with reality and what is really funny in America today, I would say that this is a very sad day in history. Then again, nothing more is expected either.
