4. It is a BFD, I just wish Biden had said it more clearly.

[LatteLibertine]

5. Yes because of

the doors it opens and it makes achieving our end goals more likely. A framework is being put in place that will lead to the eventual dismantling of for profit health insurance.

It lends a lot of momentum to President Obama and the Democratic Party to effect real change over time in many different areas.

11. "BIDEN HAPPENED TO BE RIGHT.... "

March 23, 2010

.... One of the more talked about moments of the White House signing ceremony this morning also happened to be a remark unintended for the public.

Vice President Biden was introducing President Obama, and as he turned to shake the president's hand, he offered a brief message that the microphone picked: "This is a big f**king deal."

Soon after, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tweeted, "And yes Mr. Vice President, you're right..."

And you know what? Biden is right. Fox News is trying to make a fuss about the VP's f-bomb, but let's be grown-up about this. Signing health care reform into law is a big f**king deal.

I suppose the pushback will be that the VP's language was somehow inappropriate. Nonsense. When then-Vice President Dick Cheney told Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) on the Senate floor, "Go f**k yourself," that was inappropriate.

Biden, in contrast, is endearing.
