At a fundraiser yesterday, Vice President Biden joked about his hot-mic moment Tuesday when he said health care is a “big f—ing deal.”
Biden said President Obama, at yesterday’s morning briefing, said, “You know what the best thing about yesterday was? Joe’s comment.”
According to Biden, Obama also wanted a T-shirt made up with the remark, according to the pool report.
So Biden told Obama, “If you thought it was so good, why didn’t you say it?”
The vice president made the remark after introducing Obama at the health care bill signing Tuesday morning. As the two hugged, Biden told the president, “This is a big f—ing deal,” which was picked up by the microphones on stage.
As the comment went around the internet, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tweeted, “And yes Mr. Vice President, you’re right…”
