Joe Biden’s F-Bomb Gaffe Becomes T-Shirt

Joe Biden’s F-Bomb Gaffe Becomes T-ShirtHCR - Big Fing Deal! shirt
HCR - Big Fing Deal! by melhi_

From the Wall Street Journal Blog
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.

Health Care Reform NOW

I don't know what the hell is going on in Washington DC, regarding health care reform. All I know is that average Americans, like myself, deserve decent health care at affordable costs. Here are a few statistics I found on the website HealthCareProblems.org
* Nearly 50 million Americans do not have health insurance, while another 25 million are underinsured.
* The amount people pay for health insurance increased 30 percent from 2001 to 2005, while income for the same period of time only increased 3 percent, as reported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
* The typical family health insurance plan costs $12,000 a year or more.
* Healthcare expenditures in the United States exceed $2 trillion a year. In comparison, the federal budget is $3 trillion a year.
* The number of people who are underinsured has grown 60 percent to 25 million over the past four years.
* Approximately 50 percent of personal bankruptcies are due to medical expenses.

So what's holding up reform? You tell me. Didn't we elect Barack Obama and didn't we sweep a bulletproof majority into Congress to TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE?

I don't know about you but I'm sick of the dicking around. Obviously the President is doing everything he can to get health care reform, but he's being blocked by frightened, weak members of Congress. It's going to fall to us, the PEOPLE, to stand with our president and DEMAND health care reform NOW!
