Joe Biden's F-bomb gaffe on live TV

A microphone picked up Joe Biden telling US president Barack Obama that his signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Bill was "a big f_ deal" during a live national news broadcast.









Biden made the remark moments after introducing Obama at the signing of the controversial bill on Tuesday and may not have realised that his voice was being picked up by the podium microphone.

In response Robert Gibbs, the Whitehouse Press Secretary later Tweeted: "And yes Mr Vice President, you're right."
Senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said that Biden's loose talk was "part of what makes the vice president so endearing...We wouldn't change him one bit."
Former Senate colleague Lindsey Graham said, "If there were no gaffes, there'd be no Joe. He's someone you can't help but like."
This is not the first time Biden has been caught using the F-word. He used it when speaking to another senator last year, also into an open microphone.How fast are Americans when it comes to making a quick buck? Just hours after Joe Biden let loose with an f-bomb that was caught by an open microphone following President Barack Obama’s signing of the health bill into law this morning, his exact exclamation — “This is a big f— deal” — has already become a t-shirt (caution, salty language ahead if you click on the link) available for sale in sizes running from S to 6X. It’s unlikely there will be profit-sharing for Biden. Then again, there probably won’t be political fallout for the Vice President, either. Biden is so gaffe prone that he can basically say whatever he wants at this point and, like a crotchety old relative at a family gathering, people chuckle and chalk it up to Joe being Joe — and make a t-shirt.
