VP Biden says the F word into open mic

[GS78]

Please don't get me wrong - I'm far from offended by it. I just think the bar is set higher for someone in that position and I expect better.

I would agree with that to a certain point, now if he said something racist or something along those lines then I think people should be upset. but not the "f" word.

Oh you mean like

"He's a well spoken, clean african american man"?


or, "You can't go into a 7-eleven in my town without hearing an indian accent"?



Biden would be a moron whether he had a D or an R behind his name. He has a reputation of being an idiot. Thats probably why Obama settled for him as VP.

JC, your comment about the economy being in this situation when Obama took over is correct. It was however in pretty good shape before Pelosi and Reid took over. That's when things really started to go south.

Our elected officials are and should be held to a higher standard. Behind closed doors is one thing, But that comment in any public setting displays a lack of self control.

The exact phrase that I was looking for - "Self Control". Unfortunately, our society, as a whole, has lost total self control. Generally speaking, kids today are being taught that they do not have to be responsible for their actions, which is the antithesis of promoting self control. All you have to do is watch some of the idiotic reality shows on TV these days to see exactly what I'm talking about.

Indeed. These politicians need to hold themselves to a higher standard. Private conversation or not he could have shown restraint and used that sort of language later in private. He might have been having a private conversation but he was in a very public setting...Having said that, in my world leaders of our country dont say those words in public when children might be listening...
