VP Biden: Not in the Presidential Dog House for His Salty Language at Bill Signing

I guess dignity and decorum are no longer important in the White House. In my house, it’s different. Hey wait, the White House is OUR house.

Noz said: ” turn to socialism our country ” …. Finally one of you Liberals admit it.

ajax659: Oh no! You’ve caught us!!! Now you have us against the wall! You know our agenda….. whatever will we do??!! Go back to the playground! You don’t even know what socialism means!

Whatever happened to dignified, honorable politicians? This administration is an embarrassment on so many levels that I’ve lost count.

All that education and work experience and the highest Administration officials can’t effectively communicate without using profanity??
GREAT example for our children…

This wouldn’t be a really big deal except the libs raise hell if a conservative uses that language. Pretty hypocritical, but for a lib that’s typical.

I agree with Joe. It is big —-deal. They have taken a plan formulated by some think tank somewhere, marketed with the help of a convicted thiefs book written in prison and now after bribing every official in DC have a plan that they will try to sell to the public all the while trying to fix all the mistakes in this “well thought out bill”.
Yes Joe, it is a big deal one which shows how incompetent a bunch of bungling nit wits can be.

If I recall correctly, when Cheney used the “f” word in a private conversation on the floor of the Senate, The liberals raised the roof. Biden did it in the White House on an open mike and we are supposed to think it is funny, I guess Rohm Emanuel and his filthy mouth are setting the standard for the new White House.

PETA would never tolerate Joe and Bo sharing living space.. it would be much to cruel to an innocent canine.

Cheney told someone to “f off”….. that’s meaner terminology than how Biden’s f-bomb. You people know this. Stop spinning!!

as for Ms. Sarah.. conservative beauty queens rarely use this kind of language.. unless confronted by Perez Hilton.

Not only does Obama nor Biden not “discipline” him or apologize for what was said, they say “this is the best thing that was said”!! Wow, Brilliant minds. These guys have no clue how to act civilly, let alone try to run a country.

“I wonder what the reaction(s) would be, if the comment had been made by Palin?????”
I don’t know, it depends if she had it written on her hand or not.

Get over yourselves, people. He was using the f word to discuss a big moment. People cuss all the time, and it doesn’t mean the roof is falling in. He got caught up in the moment. Not like he shot someone on a camping trip.

@scratch, Actually, if you knew who I was and where my wife was from, you would know pretty quick that I know what socialism is.
I was repeating what Noz said, pretty much can tell that Noz is a Liberal, so I can assume that Noz must WANT “socialism in our country”.
Playground? lol, at my age, I would love to be able to go to the playground, but sadly the dope dealers and crackheads have taken it over. There is no where for us children to play.

How can this be laughed off? How unprofessional can a person be? I would understand the President saying Joe made a mistake, but life goes on; but to act like it was a great plan? Our country is in trouble if our top executives can handle themselves no better than this. This was a bill signing, not a karaoke bar. They should be able to handle themselves with class for a few minutes. If it was such a big deal, it should have been worth their best behavior. I don’t consider the comment salty or colorful; call it what it is, vulgar.

OH COME ON HOW CAN ANY OF SAY THAT THIS IS OK, THIS IS THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP WE HAVE WHICH IS APPAULING TO THINK THAT THE V.P. WOULD TALK LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR THE STUDENTS IN AMERICA. MAYBE YOU TALK LIKE THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN, BUT SOME OF US DON’T. THAT’S WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA, NOBODY HAS ANY RESPECT FOR ANYBODY. JUST SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT REGARDLESS WHO IS AROUND YOU. I DON’T LIKE STANDING IN LINE AND LISTENING TO THE F WORD OUT IN PUBLIC. RESPECT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND YOU. THANKS!! nightime64

You guys are worried about the wrong things. Using the “F” word is the least insulting act I can think of in the midst of what the Repubs are doing to our elected officials. Calling them up threatening their lives, using the “N” word and the “Fg” word. Far more ignorance and hatred displayed. What about those examples? Racists, homophobes are okay, but to say “This is a big “F” deal in celebration is suuuuuch a horrible example for our kids. Hypocrites.

OK, this time I will refer to it as the “BIDEN WORD”.
A while back, I took my children to the local McDonalds. While standing in line, the 2 teenagers (probably not over 15) in front of us was using the “BIDEN WORD” over and over. “BIDEN WORD” this, “BIDEN WORD” that.
I WONDER WHERE they get it is ok to talk that way, I really do.
It is sad to think that MOST CHILDREN will remember the signing of this BILL more by the “BIDEN WORD” then they will for what the bill means.
Sad.. So, Sad.
Now, is this better for you ABC? Are you going to delete this one also? Was it the word I was using, or you just don’t like it that I disagree with where and when it was used???

This wouldn’t be a really big deal except the libs raise hell if a conservative uses that language. Pretty hypocritical, but for a lib that’s typical.

Shocked! The President and VP has spent so much effort to have the health bill passed. VP’s public expression and P’s joke showed what the P and VP really thought about the health bill, a salty bill. A salty bill for us all the Americans.

Much ado about nothing !!!

A disgrace…Hey you know someone else said to a senator on the floor on congress: Go #### yourself Senator…that was awful right? Oh that was Vice Pres. Cheney who made that remark!

I hope former VP Cheney is reading this. What he said was much worse in context than what VP Biden said. Where was the uproar then? Hypocrites!

Republicans have no argument on any topic – period…

who cares?

Seriously SCRATCH,
If you don’t have anything intelligent to say don’t say anything at all.

@scratch; Socialism is an economic system that has transcended commodity production and wage labor, where economic activity is carried out to maximize use-value as opposed to exchange-value, including in its definition a corresponding change in social and economic relations; such as the organization of economic institutions and resource allocation; often implying advocacy for a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.
Socialists generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation. This in turn creates an unequal society, that fails to provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximise their potential, and does not utilise technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public.
AGAIN, I think NOZ was the one that said he wanted it. And yes, I DO think that most Liberals would prefer a Socialist run Country where by everyone must share their wealth with everyone else. Our Country for a long time now has promoted Socialism IDEAS with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, This new Health Care Bill, and so on and so on. Is it true that HARD WORKING people in this Country may need help with things from time to time? YOU DANGED tooting. But that should be up to private organizations, Churches, Community Centers, ETC ETC. NOT our government.
Sorry, if you don’t like that answer, nor you don’t agree with me. But, I do believe what I say about Liberals.. I DID NOT SAY DEMOCRATS, I said LIBERALS. Which, is the same as the Difference between REPUBLICANS and FAR-RIGHT CONSERVATIVES.

What a shameful lot of frat house party animals we have in the white house. There is no humor in what Biden said and he should apologize. Biden’s and Obama’s lack of respect, dignity and decorum for the positions they hold is appalling.

I want to thank the VP and the White House Chief of Staff for modeling appropriate language for all my high school students. Not! I spend a great deal of time in the educational setting asking students to use more acceptable language in school. Now they have ammunition to use against school rules when they are called on the issue. Educated people should have a more robust vocabulary that what is demonstrated in public settings. Maybe Mr Obama can take a few lessons from both in his State of the Union address next year.

I’m not shocked by this at all. After all we all know the Dems wrote the book on being racist, cussing, tax evasion, etc. and how to get away with all of it and make it sound . . . acceptable. These people are just so sorry.

of course he’s not in trouble
It was a planned diversionary tactic to give the punditry something OTHER than the substance of the bill to talk about.

Joe’s a character, he’s a modest person with much to be modest about.

Let’s talk about more important things, like how much it costs taxpayers every time Obama hops on Air Force One for his never ending campaigning, touring, “I need an audience to work”. Between fuel, security (both national with Secret Service,and local on levels), his catering bill, and the cost to shut down airports and streets for his appearances. And the cost of his venues too. He’s never around when bills are being created (by Pelosi/Reid), but he spends our tens of millions daily for his touring fixes. He needs to stay in DC for a week/month and stop with the nausiating nonstop appearances just to convince the public why signing bills he hasn’t read are good for us.

What do you expect from an idiot?

They are all idiots. Heaven help us. What great role models for our young people. Cussing and drinking beer. Class. Real class.

“Socialists generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation. This in turn creates an unequal society, that fails to provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximise their potential, and does not utilise technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public.” And which part of this definition of Capitalism is WRONG? In the US since Reagan and under both Bush’s esp., we have seen the percentage of wealth concentrated in the hands of the very few skyrocket to record levels..the top 1% currently controls over 80% of ALL wealth and the bottom 80% scramble for the rest. This is NOT free enterprise, quite the opposite. It is, in fact, a recipe for Socialist revolution, like in Central America which saw similar concentration of wealth for decades. Those who oppose Socialism should support policies that allow for more equitable distribution of wealth, but they do just the opposite. Just saying.

Give me a break folks! This is such a non-issue. The guy was obviously saying it in the ear of the president and the mic picked it up. Not like he intentionally yelled it into the mic for all to hear. If the media didn’t go so wacky over this, I would have missed it completely – as I really had to focus on hearing it. The is just the media fanning flames over a non-issue. I wish people would grow some thick skin and the media would focus on stuff that matters (which to them is any related to Brittany Spears opinion on politics — oh how sad is it when I get more thought provoking stories from the Daily Show than our traditional news organization — wish we had BBC or CBC news here — something objective where lefty and righty people would interject their ideas :)

The Obama is a GREAT example for children everywhere: cuss, smoke, and drink- all at taxpayer expense! Obama is the biggest “do as I say, not as I do” we’ve had in quite sometime. Even as he signs SoetoroCare and has Michelle reprimandly us and parents to eat healthy you have Obama disobeying his very own doctors- who asked him to cut down on booze and fatty foods and quit smoking. Are the taxpayers paying for the cigarettes? He is exempt from cigarette taxes? Did taxpayers pay for the champagne he was swilling during the SoetoroCare celebrations?
