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.

Watch the video of Biden's BFD comment (sorry for the foul language by VP Biden):

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.

When the person who holds the highest office in the land participates in something like this I am aware of what is classless. In your heart so do you Maurice. Please do not use such profanity. It does take credence away from your post.

Immorality and a lack of integrity has embraced this nation like no other time in our history.....it's almost insane when you think of when we grew up till now! I get it....we allowed it and our children are suffering for it! We have a huge battle before us!

You are so correct, Kanaka. It is a shame that the country is becoming so lax and accepting of so many things. As I said before it's called class. For the prez to do what he did lacks any kind of class and moral upbringing. It's pathetic. Have a great day.

Matters not, you still did it. I love my ass, 'cause it's so shapely and lovely (so I'm told). It's still nice and cushyDoesn't it hurt to sit on your tailbone? Just asking.... Btw, that's effin' ass, not fat ass, but you are forgiven for being dense. Have a nice life, Betz!

You just "love it" because he dropped down to your level. That's great. I bet it was a great boost to your self esteem. "Look! The President is a classless pig, just like me, MsTlynne!" LOL!!!

If George can flip the bird, Obama can tweet whatever he wants. It's not earth shattering and no one really cares. People need to find something else to get their panties in a wad over.

Actually, that was disgustingly inappropriate as well. Just because someone else did something wrong does not make it okay for others. And just because YOU don't care, does not mean that nobody cares.
So I take it that Obama tweeting "BFD" is Bush's fault too?? You people are unbelievable.

Sure, that's reasonable enough, but he is still a human who makes human mistakes. What really matters is whether or not he learns from them.

Why thank you Maurice. I was raised by intelligent people who taught me the difference between scum words and class. Thank you again.

"Scum words"? What kind of language is that? The only thing you're doing inflicting your superiority on others, which shows a lack of class on your part.

betz to Maurice... 2012/07/01 10:18:21

Greet your boss tomorrow morning by using the "F" word and see what happens. Hmmm...betcha won't do that as we all know it is unacceptable and a "scum word."
