Biden Whispers F-Bomb At Ceremony

Vice President Joe Biden let rip another of his legendary gaffes at a crucial moment for the Obama administration Tuesday, whispering a profanity to the president right before Obama signed his $940 billion health care overhaul into law, the New York Post reported on its Web site. After introducing Obama at the White House signing ceremony, the two men pulled close in an embrace and Biden could be heard whispering the words “This is a big f---ing deal” to his boss. Obama did not have any visible reaction. He went on to deliver his own profanity-free remarks and signed the legislation shortly before noon/Waterbury Republican American. More here.

Question: Is it a big deal that Biden whispered "“This is a big f---ing deal” to his boss" to Barack Obama after introducing the president before he signed the health care reform bill this morning?
