President Obama used the acronym "BFD" on BarackObama's official Twitter account. This acronym refers to a four-letter word that the FCC bans from broadcast as inappropriate language. The president used the acronym in a reference to Vice President Joe Biden's accidental comment caught on mic, "This is a Big F*#!'** Deal" in reference to Obama's Affordable Care Act in March.

    Presidential class took a huge hit with Clinton and it has all but been wiped away by Obama.

    The guy is a total dickweed.......and no, I never claimed to have any class but I am not the president either.

    Did you say Ban. Whatever King Odumba wants. King Odumba gets. HCR or not. King Odumba loves the illegal stuff too. He loves illegal period. Is he illegal? We are ban from knowing it. Why? We are not Kings like he is. He is like a little boy. He must have a candy each time he wants it.

    Back in the day this wouldn't even be an issue. It was just realized inappropriate behavior and language was inappropriate. Something has gone wrong when bad language and behavior is questioned and excused in certain circumstances. "Bad" behavior is ok sometimes? NO it bad behavior is BAD behavior!

    Why is it a two year old child knows that inappropriate behavior is inappropriate and as adults, we somehow managed to make exceptions to the rule? Seems to me the two year old has more morals and common sense than anyone who changes right and wrong to make themselves feel good for their poor behavior!

    One more point....I would love to think that I could have respect for ALL of our Government officials...especially our President and Vice President. I can go to the projects for cool....when I look to my President, I expect someone I can respect...someone who respects the honor of the seat he holds....yes, it is inappropriate.

    There is no "ghetto" in Barack Obama. Please be reminded that he was born to a White American mother and a foreign university student from Kenya Africa. He was raised in Hawaii and Indonesia by a White mother, White grandparents, and an indonesian stepfather

    Understood. The word Banned in general means not to be used. Just because he is the president. He should set the example and apologize.

    And by the way, it's "write" not "right".

    Dude, you already see I have two other people on me. Come on!

    Huh, my spelling was fine. It was the wrong usage of words.

    Any president would have someone else writing their tweets. When he does write his own tweets he puts BO at the end. God damn. So what?

    So saying BFD means exactly what, it looks to me it is use in the place of saying the actual offending words. You guys will whine and cry about anything the president says, but get a tea-bagger to suggest armed insurrection, well that is just fine and dandy with you.
  • betz aneed2know 2012/07/01 10:13:17

    When an acronym is used in place of a word or words it is the same thing. Others perceive exactly what was meant. It was childish and uncalled for. That's my point.
    BTW...I do believe Joe used the exact words when he spoke in the prez's ear that day. I will admit I don't think the prez was really pleased with his choice of words. I will give him that.

    Oh i see so when i say crap that is just as if i said Sh*T, or when i say Fudge its just like me saying F**K? Nice to know i have been cussing in front of my grandmother according to you.

    Do you even know how foolish you sound, i mean really?
