Republican Congressman heckles President Obama during health care speech
The Associated Press confirms that Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican of South Carolina, interrupted President Obama’s speech, a sign of the partisan feelings underlying this evening’s address to Congress:

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” after Obama had talked about illegal immigrants.

It wasn’t the only interruption during Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives. Earlier, Republicans laughed when Obama acknowledged that there are still significant details to be worked out before a health overhaul can be passed.

Bump this....

Awesome to see Obama treated as such...he is being dishonest with Congress, himself and with the American people.............

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.”

He should be voted out of office

for apologizing.

When they say that there is 46 plus million without health care.

They want them to get health care. Correct? Twenty million of them are illegals. Who's the LIAR? Maybe Obama never read the bill like the rest of them.

Obama better watch himself

He convened a joint session of Congress.

During that session, he addresses them, and then LIES to them. I'm sure house rules would allow for a member to bring a motion (suspending the rules if necessary though that takes 2/3) of an article of impeachment for lying to Congress and dishonoring the office of the President by doing so on national television.

With enough spontaneous support from other members, the Obama could face impeachment right there on the spot. Pelosi would be helpless to stop it. As long as the rules are being followed right there with the nation glued to the set, she could only make sure process occurred correctly.

now THAT would be awesome.

Of course, with the Senate and Chief justice present, if there was enough support (but there isn't) if the house voted to impeach, they could have the trial right then and there.

Real easy. No need for all kinds of lawyers and motions of discovery. Simply produce the bill and you have over 535 first hand witnesses to the lie who are the House and Senate themselves.

I think I would pee myself if that happened, to any A$$hole, no matter what party he's from. These arrogant bastards need to be put in their place.

It's about time Obama got an inkling of the sentiment that voters are giving to Congress in town halls.

My Illustrious Representative Joe Wilson ...

suddenly grew a pair and then immediately cut them off by apologizing! LMAO

Instant celebrity

I'm actually proud of this guy even though I never heard of him before. We need more of this!

Where was this guy when Bush was raping the country?

I'm asking out of ignorance. Maybe he wasn't even in Congress.

If someone were to follow Obama and shout "You Lie!" every time he was guilty of it, it would be a full time job. Maybe that can be part of a new Federal make work program that hires citizens to follow politicians and shout "You Lie!" every time they do so.

Although I suspect the person tasked with shadowing Ron Paul would have a similar workload to the proverbial Maytag repair man.

Joe Wilson

803-939-0041 843-521-2530 202-225-2452 I'm still gonna thank him, even tho he has appoligized, maybe if other congressmen see that we the people, will support them when they do the right thing, they wont sircome to the Goodol Boy Government Payoff Games.

He APOLOGIZED!?!?

Call him & tell him to retract his apology. Was going to put his contact info. but coincidently (or is it?) his site is "down for maintenance." Odd.

Supposedly McCain pressured

Supposedly McCain pressured him to apologize. Not surprising with how weak McCain is on the whole illegal immigration thing. He probably secretly wants illegals to get in on the healthcare bill. Who knows what kind of threats McCain may have made to him in private, perhaps he took him aside and said in his famous angry voice, if you don't apologize, I'll do everything I can and tell every republican I know to make sure you never get elected again, to make sure a republican primary opponent defeats you, and make sure every bill you propose gets defeated. Lets not make it seem like the guy caved too easily without knowing what McCain said to him to pressure him to apologize.

I saw McCain on Larry King

He acted like he was outraged that Wilson had called Obama a liar and called for him to apologize immediately. Larry King got what he wanted and was happy.
At the same time, Obama called Sarah Palin a liar(death panels). McCain said he shouldn't have said it but no call for an Obama apology.
McCain was doing what he's done forever, suck up to the MSM. He's a man without integrity.

Joe Wilson is right to speak

Joe Wilson is right to speak out like this(and it took some balls for him to yell out like that twice when Obama was giving his speech), illegal aliens can and will get in on this healthcare bill despite what Obama says, guess this is just another deception from Obama.
There is language in the bill saying illegal immigrants will be excluded, but there is no verification system to keep illegal immigrants from getting in on it. Its similar to the law that sanctuary cities(for illegal aliens)are illegal. The law has no penalty to it, so its broken all the time. The same will be true with this healthcare bill if it passes in its curent form. Nothing will stop illegal aliens from accessing it. Dean Heller tried to attach an amendment that would have added a requirement to use a verification system to ensure illegals would be excluded. But when the amendment came up for a vote, all democrats voted against it, all republicans voted for it. Check this link for more info

He Just Apologized

CNN in the background at my house. He called the White House to apologize saying he let his emotions get the best of him.

Noooooooo.......

Congressional Research Service supports accusation

The Congressional Research Service (part of the Library of Congress!) released an 11 page report on August 25, 2009. From the summary on page 2, 3rd paragraph:

"Under H.R. 3200, a 'Health Insurance Exchange' would begin operation in 2013 and would offer private plans alongside a public option… H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitzens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange."

i was listening to NPR

i was listening to NPR when it happened. their recording better captured the audio reaction from the floor. it sounded exactly like a school yard burn when you talked back to the teacher when you shouldn't have. or when you got caught passing a note. everyone in class goes "oooooohhhHH!" like, "you're in so much trouble."

=)

I wish our congress would be

I wish our congress would be more open and angry and less polite and fake.

This reminded me of the British Parliament sessions where everybody screams at each other.

There's nothing wrong with this. I'm all for it.

Reckon Joe read the bill? ;)

Reckon Joe read the bill ;) Would have been great to see a 'town hall' break out! lol

When I'm done laughing

I'll point out that part of the "cost" justification for health care reform was that we're already paying for the uninsured and this would get them to visit doctors' offices instead of ER's. He was either lying then or now, but probably both.

Pie fight!

I'd pay to see pie fight in Congress during one of those Presidential speeches. You know, just like The 3 Stooges. I'd be great!

LMAO!!
