On video captured by multiple media network cameras, Vice President Biden introduces President Obama, and then can telling to the president: “This is a big (word removed by YWN) deal.”
Not long after, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs sent out a Twitter message, and appeared to acknowledge the hot-mic moment, writing: ” And yes Mr. Vice President, you’re right…”
The crack puts Biden in good company: On “60 Minutes” last Sunday, profanity-prone White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said that he’s only cussed in the Oval Office around Obama once, and that he tries to keep his verbiage clean in the presence of the president whenever possible.

It is a big deal! Way to go President Obama!
Such a refined, high class person.
You bet it is a big deal…..for seniors who will lose out on social security they put in, medicare and medicaid. It is a disaster that Obama (& family), Biden (& family) as well as ALL those who approved the passing of this bill are EXEMPT from.
So President Time for Change, I have one thing to say to YOU, if its not good enough for YOU it certainly is not good enough for ME!
As far as Biden is concerned, Americans should be “INSULTED” that the person representing the Vice Presidency of the United States thinks its OK to use profanity in public, in the White House and in front of the President of the United States. Gee what a role model!
He is a high class person! So is Dick Cheney, who used the same word! And Georget W. Bush!
#4 – Don’t talk like that about our next president.
if this is what gets to be newsworthy, oy to the world. In today’s sad culture, these words are common exclamations for the hoi polloi. don’t set your expectations too high for these people, and take note you never catch the President doing it. who cares what a veep says?
Mr. johnson is back sticking up for the president who keeps on showing his lack of respect for the prsidency. What do you expect from Mr. Biden?
“CHESED LE’UMIM–CHATOS!”
It is a big deal, because it gives us a window to peek into the dark souls of the people who are now running this great country–HaShem Yishmor!
Dark souls?
To – “Mr Johnson” – you wrote…
“He is a high class person! So is Dick Cheney, who used the same word! And George W. Bush!”
And tell us Mr Johnson, what did you think of Dick Cheney and George Bush?!?
How does President Obama disrespect the Presidency? Care to back up your assertion?
“Dark souls?”–(no. 10)
Yes, Dark Souls. Ask any of our brethren who suffered persecution in the Soviet Union what atheism, socialism, and communism is all about.
These are government systems which deny G-D, and subsitute commisars and the religion of state-worship.
#10 and body.
I for one think that Mr. Johnson is funny. I think his/her real name will never be revealed to us and he/she is just a person looking to irritate all of you who post comments on this website. I read him/her with amusement and suggest to all of you chashuva Yiden as well.
Leave Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea why my post was deleted. It was about ex-Vice President Cheney saying some very nasty profanity to Senator Patrick Leahey, and admitting that he had done so with pride.
It’s okay for people to act all horrified about Mr. Biden’s use of bad words when they tame in comparison to Mr. Cheney actually cursing at somebody.
Come on, let’s not be so biased that we eliminate dissenting posts.
This Entire Administration is Profane.
The boorish behavior of the Vice President in this instance and during his recent trip to Eretz Yisrael suggests a humorous comment from the beginning of Parshas Beshalach:
“Derech Eretz Plishtim!”
The same applies to the President and to Secretary Clinton.
You doesn’t have to call me (Mr.) Johnson. Arrogant or ignoramus works fine too.
it just shows you that the VP and his Boss are all the same. and they think the same off the american people we get what we voted in office street people
Elmwood, what are street people? Where Kennedy, Nixon, Bush and Cheney street people? All of those guys cursed like sailors.
