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

I laughed out loud when I heard him say that. But I totally agree with Biden. And it needed to be said !

Stay classy, Joe. :^ /

I Laughed out loud as well, this is a great day for America and when people come to understand what’s in this law means for America they will look back and feel as I do if they will be honest with them selves.

Saying big $$%#@&@ deal to another adult male at a time felt to be so important is excusable . In fact as Carville says , give me a man with hot blood over one with a cold a heart . There are plenty of real reasons to hate these two . I am so glad ABC beeped it out , I haven’t heard that word since I was in Viet Nam . Except a couple of times a day , from my liberal daughters of course .

There was a good comment on here a while ago. Who took it off? This is not a ####### deal but a ###### up deal.

Don’t you know when the DEMONcrats say something inappropriate it’s cute, it’s free speech.
When the right says it it’s hate speech.
The MSM decides.
Did the MSM report Cindy Sheehan’s group calling Obama a war criminal over the weekend? No

“Except a couple of times a day , from my liberal daughters of course”.
sure Nat….throw rour daughters under the bus for political Self-righteousness
Sounds like an Ensign comment

David – that was me that posted the ###### message. I guess ABC can’t stand the truth

Biden is right on the money. They got it done! The GOP was cocky and thought this would play out again like 1994, if they became refuseniks, blustered, bullied, exaggerated and frightened per usual. But it did not finish that way this time. The good guys won, and the GOP just sputtered in shock and awe, exposed for the hateful, angry phonies they are. This was a major game-changer.

“Did the MSM report Cindy Sheehan’s group calling Obama a war criminal over the weekend? No”
Actually it was Cindy herself who said that and she has done so previously beginning with President Obama’s announced troop increase to Afghanistan.
But you have a good point.
FoxNews spent the whole weekend covering the 2000 tea party (trademark fox news) ignoring the tens of thousands that marched for immigration reform and the several thousand that marched against the war in the Capitol.

>>>Well since medicare “doc-fix” was intentionally left out to make the cost more favorable, I would say the Obama/Pelosi/Reid trident are indulging in FRAUD!

Nor did they include funding for the IRS, who is expected to hire 17,000 new employees to enforce payments of health insurance premiums. This was intentionally left out of the bill and will increase the debt by billions.

THank you Joe for telling it like it is….this is a Big-######## Deal and America should be proud that the Dems had the courage to do what nobody else had been able to do for 60 years. I’m still waiting for the conservative alternative…I mean, other than “No.” They never did offer anything other than obstruction.

I’m a liberal from New Jersey. I didn’t think it was a big deal when Cheney dropped his cuss words, and I don’t think it’s a big deal when Biden does it either. I’m from Jersey, for god’s sake. We use the F-bomb as a noun, verb, adjective and adverb in everyday conversation as a matter of course.

You tell em’ Joe! – ITWARZ

I totally agree with the comment above which states when is it ok for the VP to use profanity. There needs to be a level of professionalism at that level! Bottom line. I am from Jersey also! If ya want to talk like that do it your own social circles! Not in front of the world!

Since when has profanity become so accepted that the VP can use it without any backlash.
Posted by: VoteOutSocialism
yeah, impeach him, string em up, bring em before the death panel….
every now and then at least try to get your head up out of the dark hole you’ve buried it in

So what’s the big deal? Everyone and his brother uses the F word to one degree or another. I bet if you had a microphone on some of the GOP folks you would be hearing alot worse than that for the passage of the bill. And what about those who spit and used the N word. Chill out folks.

It takes ####### to stand up to and lick the bullies of the playground. And when you whip the bullies and give them a taste of their own medicine they lose any pretense of civility in their “How dare you stand up to me?” anger.
But the fact is that the Dems finally grew a pair to improve the lives of average Americans. I hope it was the emergence of a new, more muscular Dem Party.

This is total Stalin type takeover of America. The question is whether or not the Supreme Court has the guts to stop the evil Obama Empire or will they just shake in their boots under the heavy hand of these new type “Velvet Glove” Communist taking over the country!!!

Who ever made the comment re: the good guys won, what planet are you on.All republicans are bad guys? NOT!! that is the idiotic division which is destroying our country. ALL POLITICIANS OF EITHER PARTY ARE “BAD GUYS”.They all have THEIR OWN AGENDA’S. Take our money.Securing their personal government pensions and bank accounts. Republican, Democrat, Independant. Are all the same.When the IRS can punish you for not having HEALTH INS???WE ALL ARE IN DEEP #### DOO DOO.

“This is total Stalin type takeover of America”
So to recap the right wing mindset, warrantless wiretaps on America are about liberty. Getting the uninsured on some form of health insurance is totalitarian.

There are 159 new boards and commissions created in this HC bill to run it. My god!! How can that save money? People stop and think!! The bureacracy of this is so massive! Hopefully the lawsuits by the states will kill this bill. If not – well in 2013 (after the 2012 vote), the HC bill will be history – just a bad dream. See ya all you dems that voted for it! It wil be great to have a House without Pelosi and her band of thieves. Oh – and her “big gavel” – what a joke! Crap – she could barely hold it up. That was hilarious.

You libs are a disgrace. November 2012 can’t get here fast enough.

Republicans failed in their attempts to stop health care reform. During the next few months, hopefully Americans will read the bill and see what’s in it. After understanding whats in the bill, please draw your own conclusions and stop being led by the nose by the Republican party whose only objective is to stop President Obama from succeeding as President. They have failed miserably so it’s time to stop being devisive and come together to try to make this country a better place for all of us.

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Joe ;)

Something tells me he will be around for awhile , Americans respect people who are bold and get things
…PRESIDENTS NEVER GET VOTED OUT BECAUSE THEY DID TOO MUCH , ITS USUALLY THE OPPOSITE.

Great points, ron.
I just noticed that in addition to the Gallup numbers being up when it comes to health care, the President’s approval rating is over 50% again as well– much higher than Reagan’s was at this point, and on par with Clinton’s. They both, of course, were re-elected.
And this may have energized Democrats. Per Planet Washington (McClatchey blog): “Twenty-two Democratic Senators, including some from coal-dependent Midwestern states … have written a letter to Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid saying they think the Senate should take up a climate and energy bill this year “with a renewed focus on jobs and reduced dependence on foreign oil.” … The letter argues that a clean energy policy in the U.S. would create jobs at home. It also warns that Asia and Europe are “moving aggressively to take the lead in efficiency, renewables, clean coal, batteries, nuclear energy and other technologies.”

Ron, you need help. What you’re saying is it’s better to do BAD things that the PEOPLE don’t want than to do nothing?? Are you in High School? What you say isn’t even true. Everybody LOVES Clinton but what did he do besides bang interns and destroy the housing market?? And FYI Obama is NOT getting re-elected. He is an abject failure. If there was election TODAY he’d probably lose and HE’S ONLY GETTING WORSE!!! Hope you enjoyed your time lib’s. You’ve got until November. After that he’s a lame duck and can do NOTHING!!

Oh Mick, you show two polls for it. There’s about 200 other polls against it. BTW, USA today and ABC are incredibly liberal polls. Look at the RealClearPolitics number. It’s the average of ALL the polls out. America DOES NOT want this crap and we’re going to prove it this November when we vote all of the liberals out of office. Obama is GONE January 2013!!!!

okay, so everyone uses the f word. But we’re not talking about everyone, we are talking about the vp of the usa using the f word on the world stage. If there was ever doubt about the level of class in the white house, or lack there of,there isn’t now.

“Try reading Sun Su, The Art of War,DEVIDE AND CONQUER.Read the book if you can”
You mean Sun Tzu.
Divide and conquer is a tactic the came to being with the Roman Empire, was written about by Machiavelli and used by the British Empire.
So please do read a book.

“we’re going to prove it this November when we vote all of the liberals out of office”
How are you going to do that when the vast majority of liberals come from safe Democratic districts?

The O administration is making their own campaign commercials and the GOP didn’t have to spend 1 cent!

Oh Ryan C, Like Barbara Boxer?? She’s only up by 2% right now. Look at the polls. You libs are toast this November. You can mince my words all you want. You know I’m right.

PROGRESSIVE MAMA, the GALLUP IS IN THE RCP POLL YOU MORON.
Posted by: Ryan | Mar 23, 2010 3:34:09 PM
if I click on the health care poll it shows this:
Gallup 3/4 – 3/7 1014 A 45 48

Posted by: Ryan | Mar 23, 2010 3:46:36 PM
Check the dates. A new gallup poll came out today. the healthcare numbers Mick mentioned are from today– post-passage as I said previously.
I’ll try this again. if I click on the health care poll it shows this:
Gallup 3/4 – 3/7 1014 A 45 48
Look. at. the. date.

Oh Joe, you did it again. You smart little thing, the repubs will be so busy about the use of the f word you used that the repubs will be spirting the spit at you now. Something else for them to overreact about, good job, Joe.

Ryan: You are confused. The government can levy taxes and impose fines, and they are absolutely constitutionally empowered to fine or tax you if you do or don’t do certain things, such as buy health care. Don’t delude yourself.

“Oh Ryan C, Like Barbara Boxer?? She’s only up by 2% right now.”
Oh I was thinking of the House since all Congress persons are up for re-election.
Can’t exactly vote out all the liberal Senators when many are not even up for re-election yet.
Boxer is an interesting case though….her job approvals barely hover above 50% most of the time (contrast with much higher for Dianne Feinstein in Blue CA) yet she is re-elected every year by a good margin.
The respected Field Poll has her losing to Campbell by 1 and only beating Fiorina by 1.
RCP’s avg has her up 2.2 over Campbell, up 6 over Fiorina.
Still pretty early though and she does have a pretty sizable war chest which is a must in CA.

It is not legal for the government to mandate you buy something from the private sector. Why do you think MOST of the states are lining up to sue over this. You lib’s are ridiculous. Like I said earlier, enjoy your time in power. It’s almost over.

“What he said???? You two are an absolute joke. Just in case you missed it.”
Apparently you are missing something because progressive mama said that the NEW polls on healthcare have yet to be added to RCP”s average.
To “disprove” this, you link to RCP’s poll average which does not yet include the referenced Gallup poll.

I wonder how upsetting it will be if I say, “what he said.”
Well, whatever.
What he said…
LOL.

Yeah, this sure is a big ####### deal and guess who’s having to bend over and take it. This use to be a great country but now it’s being reduced to big brother and soma.

“Progressive, you keep quoting ONE incredibly biased liberal poll.”
How is Gallup incredibly biased towards liberals?

That Joe! You gotta love him!

“Yeah, this sure is a big ####### deal and guess who’s having to bend over and take it.”
Why do right wingers particularly Rush Limabaugh frequently include rape fantasies in their political rhetoric?

How cleaver of Congress to give little bits of the Healthcare benefits right away to everyone from now until the November election and then right after wack the big tax increses upon those you must pay. This has never been about Democrats vs Republicans, everyone needs to stop and see the changes that will now affect the constitution, that affect our children and then grandchildren, Ask yourself why, who owns the federal reserve, and who is really dictating these changes. Ask as Americans

Reality is most Americans do not want the bill just signed into law. By any poll.
Reality is Obama has the lowest approval rating, at this point in his term, of any president in the last 100 years.
Reality is this administration violated both the spirit and the letter of standing federal law and of our Constitution.
Reality is the bill will quickly, not years from now, be put before the Supreme Court. Who will strike it down.
Reality is there are now 37 states passing nullification legislation and 10 or more have filed suit. No one is going to abide by this bill.
Then there will come the cries for impeachment, and rightfully so.
Followed by a near total sweeping away of Dems in the 2010 elections.

the swiss barely passed their health care, had big debates..10 yrs later, everyone thinks it’s great.

Tell me RYAN C how you’re smarter than me. PLEASE tell me.”
Thankfully we have some data on this so its not rhetorical.
I understand that the Gallup poll linked to on the Real Clear Politics average poll page for healthcare is dated over 2 weeks ago and the poll originally posted by Mick and discussed by prog mama came out today.
You insist the RCP average includes this new Gallup poll even linking to RCP’s poll compilation page and not bothering to read it.
So its not so much about that I am smarter but how dumb you are.
Hope that helps.

The Swiss do not have a government run healthcare system.

The president got done what he said he was going to get done when he was elected.

That’s my Joe. Go JOE! You are the best. I’m so glad Obama choose YOU! America loves ya!!!!

“The Swiss do not have a government run healthcare system”
Much like our own healthcare system, the Swiss have a hybrid healthcare system in which they public and private options.
They also make it compulsory for EVERYONE to buy health insurance and health insurance companies must offer basic health insurance to anyone regardless of condition/age and may not make a profit off this basic insurance.
Could the right wingers repeating what Hannity or Beck or Rush told them actually investigate before they parrot?
Or is that too much to ask?

“wish these republicans could focus all that energy on ending the war.”
What?? You’re golden child is keeping the war going. YOU’RE in power right now cowards. You can only blame the right for so long. And you wonder why you’re getting blasted in the polls. Luckily the public has caught on to this con Obama. You’ve got until November to get anything done, after that you probably won’t get power again for a decade, maybe longer.

RIGHT WING , LEFT WING, BLAH BLAH,BLAH. THE EAGLE CAN’T SOAR THROUGH THE SKY WITHOUT BOTH WINGS.WE ARE AMERICANS,PARTY POLITICS ARE POINTLESS, A WASTE OF BREATH. TOGETHER WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL. AND I COULD CARE LESS IF I MISPELLED OR USED CAPS.

Crazy old Joe Biden just can’t resist the opportunity to make a fool of himself.

“Gallup is almost always left of the average Ryan C”
How is it left of average?
Do you even understand what you are saying?
See I could see a bias complaint about Kos polls done thru Research 2000.
Or even the PPP which is a Democratic pollster that works with Democratic candidates.

Oh..haha, thats our (common man) Joe!..gotta luv ‘em..yea..another double standard from our activist media..haha..yea, imagine if that had been Cheney..yea..

Ryan,if it wasn’t so true, I’d be laughing my ### ### off. it’s funny to watch two different parties,go back and forth, I do believe in right wing values,morality,2nd ammendment,God.ect.But to watch people debate this is quite ammusing.As I think we’re screwed either party…….

It is a big deal because you are basically running our country into the ground! The majority of people have healthcare and are happy with what they have. True there are some that do not have healthcare that cannot work, etc. But, there are those out there that do not work, do not have the initiative to get a job and get the healthcare they need. Now, what profession will they go after next…Does Applie or Microsoft make too much money?

Uh oh!!! Looks like Ol’ Joe is going to have to attend confession this Sunday for his potty mouth!

Bankrupting and Ruining the Country we love = Democrats

Maybe someone should move to Switzerland if they think the healthcare is so good? Just a thought…

Minooka Joe demostrating perfectly the class and dignity of the democratic party…
Har

What a lowlife classless jerk. It will
be nice to see his comment in the
history books some day. This country
had a brain fade when this hapless bunch
got elected.

People need to pray for our leaders. It is amazing the things that get railroaded through when the majority of the American people are against it. America will stand proud again. That start begins today…going on to November…where those who are supposed to represent the people of their State will be voted out because they turned their backs to them. They will be voted out!!!!

“How many mindless drones were bleating “Yes We Can”for about the last two years. As far as Tea Party Members,they’re just American’s sick of bending over.”
ROFLMAO!
Ranting about a campaign rally chant followed by Rush Limbaugh’s favorite quote.
Irony thy name is right winger.

“Maybe someone should move to Switzerland if they think the healthcare is so good?”
Nothing like a little hyper nationalism.
After all it worked out well with Franco right?

“People need to pray for our leaders”
People need to pray for those calling themselves Christians who ignore the teachings of Jesus and prefer selfishness to helping their fellow man.

It is a sad day when our great nation has someone like Joe Biden as Vice President who has obviously no class and a filthy mouth!

This is only the beginning for things to finally get better in our country. I finally have hope after how Bush ran our country into the ground the eight years he was in office.

Wow, some of you are absolutely delusional. “Talk is cheap”? You’re right. So how many promises has Obama made and how many has he actually seen through? ONE of god knows how many. And the only way he got this ONE done was by bribing his own party members and using the nuclear option. I can see why you’re so proud. November can’t come soon enough. I never thought I’d see a President worse than Carter. Boy was I wrong.

I,M 83 AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE WE HAD A COMMUNIST MUSLIN FOR PRESIDENT,I –WE –HOPE HE AND THE REST OF THE3 SCUM BAGS GET VOTED OUT ,AND,AND MAKE AMERICIA STRONG AGAIN,IT SURE HURTS ALL US WW2 VETS WHO FOUGHT AGAINST COMMUNISM

“RyanC…Health care is a right. It’s called human dignity. The Swiss take care of their own”
I agree with that.
There is another poster named Ryan who does not.

Thank you Sharon. Well said.

To John on his comment about Biden’s bad mouth. Unless you are one of very few men that in the heat of the moment never used that word or others like it. You need to find bigger things to worry about.

Thank you, President Obama! Thank you for always moving ahead. Now on to other issues. Jobs.

Republicans seems to be irrelevant at this point.

I couldnt have said it better myself.

Republicans seems to be irrelevant at this point.

“I never thought I’d see a President worse than Carter.”
But you did, and Bush is gone now… so we can get back to being the greatest nation again.

If Republicans are so irrelevant does that mean that we don’t have to pay taxes anymore?? I’m kind of sick of paying all of those taxes that are MY share and MORE.

The reason why I state that the repubs seem irrelevant at this point, is because even if they did have like what they had for eight years with bush what did they offer? What did they get done?

Honest to god, I just saw a liberal call someone a coward and talk about how much the Republicans lie. They do, I won’t deny that. But NO ONE lies more than a lawyer. The last two dem Presidents were what again?

Anyone out there keeping track of how many utterly ridiculous gaffs Joe the buffoon has made?

My comment at 5:18:11 was an error. Firefox lagged for a minute.

Me, As an American, am tired our our elected officals bickering and not getting anything done. Finally we have results. I am not a democrat or a republican. I am a registered independent. But I wouldn’t be associated with the republican party if you paid me. They spew hate.

I predict the typical immature comments from repubs~the repub party doesn’t want you either. Could you come up with something better than that? Like address why the teapartiers are such haters?

It’s a Vice President thing I guess…. to use the F-bomb! Cheney was good at it too! (((I hope Biden doesn’t go hunting anytime soon)))

You libs honestly need help. Really, there’s something wrong with your heads. How are the tea partiers “haters” Libs practically invented protesting. Hell, you guys even start riots sometimes. Your logic has no bounds. Whatever you are (cowards, immature kids, haters, racists) you simply call your enemy. Thank god your such losers you can only hold power for a couple years. I can’t wait until November. You’re not worth another second of my time.

“How are the tea partiers “haters”"
Racial slurs, homophobic slurs, screaming at a man with Parkinson’s disease, shouting down people in wheelchairs at town halls when its their turn to speak…the list goes on and on and on.

“So how many promises has Obama made and how many has he actually seen through?”
In addition to checking Politifact…
If you’re on Facebook, there’ a great page called “Accomplishments of President Barack Obama” where you can get all the latest and be up to date. If you’re not on Facebook, check out this blog post at Brown Man Thinking Hard blog: “100 Accomplishments of Barack Obama”

Yes, it goes on and on. That is the tip of the iceberg. A blog called Little Green Footballs does a great job of monitoring the hate mongering and racism, with lots of pictures from actual tea parties to illustrate the point. There’s a series of posts called “Why I left the Right” which are worth reading.

“There’s a series of posts called “Why I left the Right” which are worth reading.”
Charles Johnson (who runs the blog) had some sort of epiphany a couple of years ago.
I think it took a few years for many people to realize how much the right wing had manipulated our righteous anger about 9/11 for their own purposes.

I am writing because America is close to
my heart and I am wondering where we have been and where we are now? I remember when other countries saw America as America the Beautiful and it is a place to be. Today I wonder what are they thinking about us now. I remember hearing the song Home of the Free and Home of the Brave and I see a
Nation that’s so devided until we can’t
together to agree to disagree. I have read a house divided against itself shall fail. I read one of the comments where someone stated A Prominent Leader made a Derogatory Comment at the podium after President Obama spoke after signing the Health Care Bill and he is suppose to be an example for our children. I want to say what example is the rest of our Leaders showing when they devide themselves in groups and say we are the only ones that have the answers and one group is better than the
other. What happen when one race of people say I am better and above the other and they don’t have the right to be President of the United States and He will fail and we will see that it will happen. I am going to say something and I know you will say it doesn’t have anything to do with politics but the WORD Of GOD says whether you believe it or not but it is TRUE AND BINDING THAT HE HAS NO RESPECT OF PERSON. We as a people regardless what your race, creed or color need to come to the understanding that GOD made all of us also as HE MADE THIS WORLD AND
EVERY THING IN IT. HE also said HE WILL BLESS WHOM HE WILL AND CURSE WHOM HE WILL.HE ALSO SAID SALVATION IS FREE AND
LOVE AND REPENTENCE IS THE KEY TO SALVATION.WHAT HE IS SAYING IS GET THE HATRED OUT OF OUR HEARTS AND ALLOW LOVE TO COME IN AND WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A NATION. LET US MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

Now if it was a Republican..
________
LOL. We don’t have to try real hard to imagine that. Think VP Cheney.
People cuss. It happens. Its not like VP Biden was cussing someone out or using it as an insult or saying it for public consumption. Its not even like he’s not gaffe prone.

Wes all need to pray to jesus to save our countrys from obamas the hitler. he dont loves thecountry like us folks heres in alabama. its a sad day with the backroom deals back room deals.donts callme a racist!

Health care was long overdue, the same far right people who did not want medicare or SS are still at it. You lost, we won, the American people won, go out and condemm this great nation more it just shows how sick you are. It seams if we do not agree with you we do not know what we are doing.

Let everyone go read Isaiah 58 and Luke 4:13-21. in the Holy Bible before you start commenting. then you might be able to know who is right and who is wrong. Again, let everyone go read and meditate on Isaiah 58 and Luke 4:13-21 about God and Jesus before signing. It will give you serious idea of what God/Jesus Christ would have done concerning Healthcare bill.
READ AND SEE WHAT JESUS CHRIST WOULD HAVE DONE, and that we tell you which party He will support in November. Remember–Jesus cannot be bribed by anyone. GOP cannot bribe Him. DEMS cannot bribe Him. No one can. Read slowly and carefully and then make your judgment about who is destroying this nation in regard to this healthcare. See what verdict JESUS would give if He is sitting in American court rooms. Don’t be scared about the truth. Just go read and be able to see who God would spank and who He will spare. Check it out and see what freedom is and what freedom is not. What God will reward and what God must not reward. Who is on the right track or who is on the wrong track on healthcare. Whether He would prefer public option here or private option or both. What will He take out or what will He leave? Is the bill MOSTLY good or MOSTLY terrible? ETC. Meditate!

My, my, don’t we have a Vice President full of class!

VP Biden is a Roman Catholic when it convenient!

You better belive it is a big deal!These states who are filing law suits against this healthcare legislation are only proving that their loyalty lies with the constitution of the United States and to the people which it protects, and not to the tyrants who are defying its soverign rule of law. This healthcare legislation is an arrogant act of treason against it. The Federal government may trump the state governments but the constitution trumps all. I only hope and pray that America has the backbone to stop this. All things are possible and I believe that it most certainly can be tossed in the trash if America has the will-power to do it. Ronald Reagon spoke more like a prophet than a politician when he warned of things like this to come if America ever gave up the fight against socialism. Why is it that the more “dignified” our societies become, the harder those in power fight to reduce the people back to slavery?

First I am not a fan of the Health care bill.But you what just because the idiot dropped and f bomb is reason to get “holy than thou”.That’s the problem with Our Country.We are afraid Big Brother will be up Our you know what.Darn I can’t say the world.But here it is boys and girls ladies and gentlemen.Welcome to the USSA.United Socialsts States of America. Let’s do a major reprint of 1984.Huxley would be so proud.Be careful MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN & WOMEN.Before long Pelosi and all those cronies will have a book burning in the rotunda on Capital Hill.

Hi,
reading this from Australia all i can say is, good on him for cursing, it is a big deal.
AS for the comments i’m reading about socialism, you people are crazy, try and remember your rants in 12,24,36 months time, this bill brings the US into the 20th century (thats right….the 20th)
Live long and prosper.

Hey Homer: Study your history both parties have been doing nothing since Woodrow Wilson.We haven’t even collected all the debts the world owes US from WW2.And we know who ran the show back then? Don’t we? And it’s been down hill since. So Homer before you say things make sure you study your American History.Last time I checked WE weren’t the USSA yet? And another thing brother cause you are my brother.I will shed my last drop of my blood for you to say what you just wrote.In 1972 was my first Presidential election>studying my American History,I knew what kind of person Nixon was.I hitch hiked 30 miles to register.Back then there was only one place to register in each county.I am still a registered Democract.But I am not happy with either party.But if you can say you are happy. I’m glad.I’m not.

To thinkingaloud: Correct this does bring us to the 20th century however in the 21st Century…Government healthcare is a failed experiment!!!! Why do we need to try something thats failed every country in the world??

The Repubs has lost and the American people are winners. Thank you President Obama and all the Democrats that voted for health care reform. Thank you for FINALLY bring our country our to the dark ages. God Bless America

Ryan C, the designation of ‘children’ simply mean the biological progeny, not that they are minors not responsible for themselves.
When it was studied who made up the 46 million Americans that can’t afford insurance, a big chunk was the 19 to 25 year olds. In that age group you are either in college or working but in either case you don’t have the opportunity or the money to buy insurance or your low-paying job doesn’t offer it.
This change isn’t going to cost the insurance companies much money since that young age group is pretty healthy but it will give these young adults coverage in case they get sick.
So, in summary, ‘children’ does not mean ‘minors’ and this won’t lead to fraud as only your registered children (that the government already knows about from your tax returns) would be eligible.

I agree

Franklin D Roosevelt passed Social Security when unemployment was at 12.5%. This is one of the greatest social program that all americans enjoy. Lyndon Johnson passed medicaid and medicare to help the poor and the old. Now Barack Obama passed health care reform that have been fought for over 100 years. This reform paves the beginning for access to health care by so many needy americans.
This follow God’s commandment “love your neighbor”. These 3 Presidents secured their legacy as one of the great Presidents of the USA.

Bumbling Joe Biden makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein.

I don’t think using the f word is a big deal, but it did look like they were about to kiss..

Ah, yes, makes you long for those good ol’ days of Conservative values, like when VP Cheney told Sen. Leahy, in the Senate chamber, to go f— himself, and when President Dubya called a reporter an a—ole over an open mic. Gotta love it.

Like most sentence structure, Biden’s most recent description of an event can be broken down a different way. Put the emphasis on the F*ing word, and you can easily understand what biden really meant…yep, America just got screwed.

“The use of vulgarity is a sign of an ignorant person with a lacking vocabulary.”
Or, it’s the sign of a person with a very colorful vocabulary. I swear all of the time (in appropriate situations), and I don’t consider myself any less intelligent or informed than those around me who choose not to.

“ABC News’ Jake Tapper suggests an alternative theory on the vice president’s remarks, noting that the health care bill increases employees’ share of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes by 0.9% for upper-income wage earners.
So perhaps what Biden was actually saying was “This is a big FICA deal”?
Are…..you…….KIDDING ME??? Will ABC stop at nothing to cover them???

Joe Biden makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein.

gosh darn it, I’ll betcha Biden CAN spell potato,
and write it on an elementary school blackboard correctly….and
without writing it on his hand

Oh and I hate the use of the f word, very unprofessional and my kids were watching too. We don’t use that kind of language and neither should our government officials, I don’t care if you’re republician or democrat, it’s very tacky!!
I see many comments about people being for the health care reform. Well, what else is Obama trying to take over!! You see our nation was based upon Christian and morale values, our forefathers would turn in their graves if they knew the non-sense going on. I’m not saying don’t help those who need help, but he’s trying to take over everything. He wants the big government to run everything and brush our christian values and principles right under the rug, very discretly. Sure reform the health care, not this way!! I’m really opposed that now my tax dollars will be paying for abortions, I have no choice in the matter, that’s just wrong!! Come on people do your homework and open your eyes!!

No matter how you feel about the health
care reform bill, I would think that
there would be some kind of respect for
the process and the history involved.
To hear Biden act like a college frat
boy is dispicable.

Biden like Obama are gutless liars….
We do not expect anything different form these two idiots.

“You see our nation was based upon Christian and morale values”
Which Christian value is against universal healthcare?

Quick, someone write down Joe’s words for posterity-his sayings will go down with Jefferson’s.

The VP has the same freedom of speech we all do here in what passes for America nowadays. This is why I’m allowed to say that he exhibits all the class of the used-car salesman he resembles.

It happens! Get over it. There are more things to make the news than the wrong word at the wrong time. How’d we get a human being as Vice President?

I’ve heard a saying to which I agree, goes something like “Cursing is the sign of an inferior mind.”
Notice I said cursing not swearing. The fine art of swearing requires a colorful vocabulary that displays one’s anger, frustration, and even joy without the use of a one foul word.
There’s an amusing commercial for Orbit chewing gum playing on TV in my area. (Dirty mouth? Clean it up with Orbit) Two women are fighting over a man..the husband of one of the women.
They display their anger and hate to the other woman (and the viewers) and never use a single word more offensive than the childhood favorite ‘cootie’.

You gotta love Joe Biden. He opens his mouth and out spews insightful words. He got it exactly right – we bent over and they…. well, you know what they did. I don’t remember getting kissed though. Thanks Joe.

At the cost of being a hypocrite, is this really worth anyone’s time?

Yes it is, as it is a first step to dictatorship in this country.

malcat–actually, it was the liberal media–ABC, CNN, Msnbc who brought it up first–makes me know it was planned by O and B to appear “cool”.

I would be ashamed of my hard-working 3 sons if they expected me to pay for their health-care up to age 26–how many ordinary Americans can afford that?–this part of the bill was MADE for the rich parents who coddle their kids and give them “inheritance” money early.Probqably all of Pelosi and Obama supporters.

Laughing My Biden Arse Off!
Thanks Mr. Perry.

I dropped my 19 year old from my insurance because I couldn’t afford the $70 extra bucks a month. How in the world is this part of the Obama care going to make a difference to families who don’t even have jobs, or are barely getting by?

I have lodged an official complaint with the FCC over the vice president’s use on live television of the lewd and offensive “f” word at the health care bill signing. This word is sexual harrassing implying a sexual act. It would seem that it rises above Janet Jackson’s clothing malfunction which resulted in large fines from FCC.
The vice president and the pres. press secretary should quickly apologize for the remark as well as the not so humorous attempt to cover for it.

Posted by: sifto77…”I would be ashamed of my hard-working 3 sons if they expected me to pay for their health-care up to age 26–how many ordinary Americans can afford that?”
There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I am one of three hard working sons. I’m 26 years old and in medical school. My parents are hard working blue collar Americans, who care about me and my brothers. My family is not rich… in fact I am 200k + in debt from school. It would have been easier in cheaper for both me and my parents to keep me on their insurance until I graduate. Instead I’ve had to take out loans to pay for my insurance. There is nothing to be ashamed of. You should be ashamed of your hubris and ignorance of other peoples’ unique situations.

Oh…pianogirl…your 12:03 post, I should “let it go” but I can’t. Why is it some people know how to “live life to its fullest – and make some ‘mistakes’ along the way” but who are better human beings on the things that count – than those that “restrict their thinking” into “black and white mind sets”?

How hilarious! So Joe is a good ole’ boy who talks like the rest of us. Big deal. Time to move on to real news, if I can find it on here…

Joe Biden just makes me laugh!!

ABC can’t contain it’s exuberance of writing the article about the F word…Shame on you ABC!

I don’t know Jock, I’m pretty average. But I seldom use the F-bomb while introducing the President of the US at an historic bill signing ceremony. How about you?

How come Joe can make bluders and talk like a jerk and everyone laughs it off? Let it be someone from the other side of the aisle and they are chastised and have to aplogize over and over and over.

Oh, how easily and conveniently some of us forgot about when VP Cheney told Sen. Leahy to “f— off”, on the Senate floor, or when President Bush called a reporter an a—ole on an open mic during a press conference. Really, people in glass houses…..

See I knew he was cool…

Biden is a fool

I am always fascinated by the use of loaded language in political arguments. I am not above resorting to such language myself when I have to counter its use by opponents in debate.
