This morning, President Obama signed the historic and controversial health care bill into law. The ceremony was, of course, well attended and highly searched on. But some of the biggest Web searches were spurred by unscripted and unexplained moments. Here's a quick roundup of what people wanted to know...

Did Biden just say that?
Vice President Biden is, by all accounts, an incredibly accomplished man. But when it comes to saying the right thing at the right time, well, let's just say ol' Uncle Joe can be a wee bit unpredictable. During the signing ceremony, it was reported that Biden actually dropped the f-bomb when speaking quietly to his boss, President Obama.

After Biden introduced Obama, he whispered, "This is a big bleepin' deal" (only he didn't say "bleepin'"). The AP drolly reports that "Biden appeared to be offering that perspective to Obama privately," but the remark was captured by cameras. Still, the White House didn't seem to mind the faux pas. In response to the gaffe, press secretary Robert Gibbs tweeted, "And yes, Mr. Vice President, you're right."

Who shouted, "Yes we did!"?
During the signing ceremony, President Obama thanked his political supporters for staying strong during the battle to overhaul the health care system. The President acknowledged that many had "taken their lumps during this difficult debate." Almost immediately, a voice from the back shouted out, "Yes we did!" -- a take on Obama's campaign slogan, "Yes we can."

The president, as well as many others on stage, immediately broke up laughing, but many more wondered who said it. The New York Times explains that the off-the-cuff joke came courtesy of Rep. Gary Ackerman (NY-D). Following the funny outburst, searches soared on "who yelled yes we did" as well as the congressman's name.

Who was the boy next to Obama?
As President Obama sat down to sign the document, a young boy stood at his side. His name is Marcelas Owens, and he's from Seattle, Washington. Three years ago, Marcelas lost his mother, Tiffany Owens, to pulmonary hypertension. She was just 27. After she became too ill to work, she lost her health insurance.

Marcelas remarked, "I think if she had health care, they could have given her the medicine that she needed and the treatment." Searches on the well-dressed young man soared into breakout status on Tuesday, as did related lookups on "boy next to obama" and "who is the kid with obama."

Why all the pens?
If one pen is mightier than the sword, then President Obama was armed to the hilt on Tuesday. The big cheese had 20 pens at his disposal. As viewers watched the president sign the bill, they couldn't help but notice that he kept switching writing instruments. What the heck for?

According to Reuters, President Obama used the different pens as a way to pay thanks to those allies who helped him push the law through. The various pens will be distributed as souvenirs, mainly to key legislators. Sure beats a keychain.

    If a president or vice president uses foul language, regardless of it being appropriate, it shows the class of words and the class of person that he/she is. Let say, if you interview for a high paying jobs and you bust out f-bombs during your interview, do you think you'll get hired?

    Its common knowledge that people who resort to express themselves with foul language have poor manners and little to no education.

    People had jobs during the Bush administration. Fact is that unemployment has only declined because the voter participation rate has declined. THat means there are less people working and looking for jobs. Our economy will become much like Europe's in the near future. That means, stagnant unemployment and a lower participation rate, more people on government programs. Am I dreaming? Do some research and look up the FACTS yourself.

    Very simple answer. Obama is a hypocrite. He said Bush's trillions of dollars in spending was unpatriotic. Apparently he has not seen how many trillions he has spent. He said the government shouldn't be spying on citizens. He just justified this. Said rates for premiums on private insurance plans would never go up and you would be able to keep your doctor. Guess what? He lied. I can hand you a 20 page report on Obama's lies. But the fact is that your mind is made up. You love Obama's policies.

    each has their own opinion but that very serious shit to say. 9/11 is a awful tragedy and caused many deaths and fear in america. Obama becoming president isnt as bad as 9/11 hell its no where near that. him being elected to the 9/11 tragedy is wrong, just wrong because you think a man being president is the same as the deaths of many brave people, terrorist attacking us and btw Bush started the war in iraq! He attacked first think they had weapon but guess what no fucking weapons! your a ass.
