Gaffe: an unintentional act or remark causing embarrassment to its originator; a blunder.

I don't think it was a gaffe or a blunder, reading the quote, I knew what he was talking about. Didn't you understand what he said?

Biden Tells Boston Bombing Survivors, 'It Was Worth It' (Video)

After expressing how impressed he was with the tribute, he said somberly, "let me say to those 'quote survivors,' my God, you have survived and you have soared. It was worth it. I mean this sincerely - just to hear each of you speak. You're truly, truly inspiring."

The audience sat in stunned silence until Biden declared, "I've never heard anything so beautiful than what all of you just said."

Did they edit out the "stunned silence", because it's not on the video?

You are free to think and hear whatever you want, as are other people who think and heard otherwise.

Since you are in Uncle Joe's head, please explain what he meant when he said "It was worth it". What is he referring to? That he went to Boston to hear people who lost loved ones or lost limbs? That the bombing shows how strong the survivors are and that the terrorists can't beat us down? Exactly what was "worth it"??
