After the Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act Thursday, the Obama 2012 campaign tweeted that “today’s victory is one for all of us.”
Not resting on their laurels, they tweeted again hours later with a link to the Obama campaign store, where supporters can buy a “Heath Care Reform Still a BFD” T-shirt.
The phrase cashes in on a Joe Biden moment overheard in March, when, celebrating the signing of the health care legislation, the vice president turned to the president and said, “This is a big f---ing deal.”
But detractors are critical of the campaign's capitalizing on the f-bomb: Fox's Todd Stames called the "BFD" T-shirts "vulgar," and Eric Fehrnstron, one of Mitt Romney's strategists, said Thursday that the shirt is "still not presidential."
