After introducing Obama at Tuesday's health-care bill signing ceremony, Vice President Biden appeared to turn to the president and say, "This is a big f**king deal." But it's not entirely clear from the video who is speaking.

Shortly after the event, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said on Twitter, "Powerful moment when the President described the people he was signing this for and for the millions back in control of their health care ... And yes Mr. Vice President, you're right."

1. I agree with Joe n/t

[leftygolfer]

2. Yes it is

[Bicoastal]

3. Thaaaaaaaaat's Biden!

I like this new White House dynamic: where the President is the no-nonsense, serious one, and the Veep is the goofball.

[paulkienitz]

15. give a big hand to Gene Gene the gaffe machine (nt)

[Rage Inc.]

25. Biden is no goofball!

Please go back to watching Fox "News."

[Bicoastal]

26. Lighten up. I love Biden.

It was meant as a term of endearment.

[DUFan]

4. Breathtaking Deal

Someone at the UTube site said he was saying "This is a Breathtaking Deal". But either way, it is a big deal.

[Catamount]

5. Yes Indeed--" A big fucking deal"! K&R

I just turned the TV on and heard about this --but they'd already "cleaned" it up, so thanks for the real version!

[lame54]

6. I hear the big I hear the deal...

but not the fucking

[demwing]

34. Well, there's a two syllable word between 'em that starts with an F and ends with "king"

and makes Obama laugh. We can all do the math :)

[Frustratedlady]

7. I can't believe Joe would say that at that moment.

He might say it later, but he's too in awe of the power of that office to degrade this ceremony like that.

I'm proud of them both.

[onpatrol98]

23. I think he said it...

I think he said it. If he didn't, human nature would've compelled them to say that he didn't say it and to state what he actually said. His "absence of a denial" in this case, means he said it...in my book. If he didn't say it. Eventually, they'll say he didn't say it. Otherwise, they'll hope it just fades away.

But, he's right. It really is a big deal.

8. I'm sure some major league asshole will criticize him for it.

I'm looking at you, Hannity.

[nyc 4 Biden]

9. awesome!

thats my boy!

[shotten99]

10. hell yes it is!

[kestrel91316]

11. Joe can always be counted on to SPEAK THE TRUTH!

It IS a big fuckin' deal. It is the Social Security Act of our generation.

And as a personal aside rather than public statement, I don't care about the language.

[Ian David]

12. I thought he said "My loony bun is fine, Benny Lava." n/t

[Grassy Knoll]

13. Gotta love Joe, HAHAHA ! n/t

[Plucketeer]

14. I know all about "PC" an all, but

I LOVE Joe's candor! It is INDEED, a BFD! We need to savor it - like sniffing the wine before we taste it.

[Lautremont]

16. I'm sick of this slander against the Vice-President.

He would never have said that. It's quite clear that he said, in reference to the Republicans, "You see those pig-fuckers reel?"

[glinda]

17. LOL!

[thereismore]

22. HA! That is really funny. nt

[stlsaxman]

37. BEAUTIFUL!!!

:rofl:

[jonthebru]

18. He certainly did say that

And he was certainly correct in saying it.

Time, my friends, to put the GOP Party down.

[yeswecanandwedid]

19. Joe is right. nt

[yeswecanandwedid]

20. Awe fuck Joe. Just tell us what you really think. LOL nt

[tekisui]

38. You tell him!

[FarLeftFist]

21. He should have just said it into the microphone.

[thereismore]

24. Love Joe. He is so right too. nt

[Ludwig_1963]

27. cmon guys...

...he clearly says "this is a very special deal."

[nolabear]

28. That's my Joe!

[Hulk]

29. Did this guy work in the streets at some time?

What a shame he can't at least drop his foul language when on the job.

I was a school teacher, and I use the F word, and I say shit and damn as much as I feel necessary. But when I'm on the job, I NEVER use that vocabulary. It's just something you have to discipline yourself to.

I had a friend, when I was in my 20's and 30's, who used foul language at least every other word. I mean, this guy was the most obscene and embarrassing person to be around in public. I worried that I'd let slip in the classroom...but I NEVER did. I eventually dumped the guy as a close friend. I just couldn't hang around with someone who spoke like such a sewer ALL the time, and every other word is a bit much to tolerate.

[Ludwig_1963]

32. thats weird...

...joe didnt use foul language either. listen to it again. HE DOESN'T SAY F**K!!!!!!!!!!! ARRGHGHGHGHGHGHH!!!!!

[madamesilverspurs]

30. Watched it live, didn't hear it.

I've watched 'reruns', still don't hear it. IF he said it, it's no fucking big deal. Signing the healthcare bill, on the other hand. . .

31. Acc. to CNN Zazzle.com already has the T-Shirt in production.

See? Good for the small business already.

[ScottLand]

33. I'm cool with it, he can say BFD, but if he says "retard"

he's gotta go!!!!

[NecklyTyler]

35. That was great

[NecklyTyler]

36. K&R

[Bennyboy]

39. Roosevelts had the Square and New Deal, this is the "Big Fucking Deal!"

T. Roosevelt: The Square Deal
F. Roosevelt: The New Deal
H. Truman: The Fair Deal
B. Obama: The Big Fucking Deal

[Lautremont]

42. V. nice!

I hope it sticks!

[Barbara2423]

40. I love Joe

[Ed76638]

41. "This is a brave step for you".

[TEXASYANKEE]

43. I've watched this video numerous times

And saw it several more times on CNN last night, and I simply don't hear what he's saying. It makes me wonder who first broke the story that he said "F"? As I read somewhere recently, leave it to the Media to focus on the least important part of this whole story.
