I had no idea Joe Biden had a house in Oklahoma!

What's everyone's thoughts on this? We were having a discussion in the office. Three of us felt it's wrong and one of us felt it's no big deal and should just be viewed as a joke. Thoughts?

[Clyde]

Big deal? No.

Sign of our times when it comes to respect for the President? Yes.

Do I dislike the guy for doing it? No. Harmless joke/statement he 's making.

People's bad taste never fails to amaze me. You'd think that would have stopped by now.

[Wireman]

It's all fun and games until you end up like Daniel Zavitz.

I just don't like it for any living person and even more so for a president. I wouldn't make a big deal of it, just don't appreciate it.

Why in God's name would you ever think that? Bad taste never stops.

No, just that I'd have stopped being surprised by it...

[lawildcat]

In very poor taste to put anyone's name on a tombstone that is still alive. I'm not surprised though and I'm sure it's not the first time something like this has happened.

[BigVMan23]

Ummmmm yeah, that's pretty tasteless and classless and I don't like it myself. Now, if he had taken the approach of the death of the Obama presidency, with a death date of Jan 20th, 2016 (the date the next President takes office)...THAT would be somewhat funny and acceptable I think.

It's only funny if you find a way to make it something abstract.

[Wireman]

I agree with that

[Run To State]

Yeah, pretty darn disrespectful to the president. Dumb thing to do but I agree, stupid yet harmless joke.

Agreed. To me this is no different than calling the President "Barry" or "Obummer" or... just disrespectful which has been a problem for a few recent presidents.
