Joe Biden drops the f-word during health care signing
Ah, Joe Biden. If you didn’t exist, we’d have to invent you.
In the middle of the elaborate ceremony surrounding the signing of the health care bill, the vice president gave a fulsome introduction to President Barack Obama.
Biden then embraced the president and said in his ear – loud enough for the mikes to pick up – “This is a big [expletive] deal.” And he didn’t say Fargo.
You have to listen very carefully:
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs didn’t bother to deny Biden’s assessment. This what he sent out via Twitter:

The reason this is so important is it marks the being of the next fold in the Earth’s Chapter. Everyone is in a slow boiled pot of water, can you feel it, tempers rising all around us, traffic driving out of control, people making comments on blogs and being attacked for their views. The man you attack, is correct and I would add Christ is returning very soon. If this statement brings anger to your heart, ask yourself why…
By the way it’s not about one party over the other

It is so sad to read that one man’s slip up (christian or not, we are all sinners) that we spit this much hatered toward each other. No wonder this country can’t come together because we have all forget to be kind to each other. These type of emails divide us and does not help any situation. We can’t stop anyone from what they say or do, only our Savior can change the hearts of those who do not believe.. So just pray for each other to come together during these unsettling times. When are we going to grow up and act like Americans who work together for the good of this country? I’m ready, how about you?
Wow.

Where are the real men and leaders in this country, who hold themselves to a higher standard?? You’ve got the vice president of the United States tossing around the F-word while executing the duties of his office and the President laughing about it with him afterwards. Obviously they talk like that to each other all the time.
The words you use are indicative of what’s in your heart. The casual, fliippant use of profanity belies a profane and irreverant heart. We need to get replace these compromised Jokers with men and women who use language with grace to edify and build-up.

You know, if Joe Biden were intelligent at all, he would be able to find a better word to use than “**c*ing”. Also, he should probably have realized that he was still on the mic. He is definately not on the “intelligent persons” list…
