This incident does not even come close to the amount of Bush got from haters during his 8 years as president. When a people and cry about something like this because it happen to Obama, I really don't have that much sympathy because those same people that are crying and demanding this guy's head on a stick are the ones that did the same to Bush when he was president. in hypocrites!
When I heard him take that shot at Palin I didn't think of it that way. I just thought damn she's got the POTUS responding to her facebook posts again.
Decorum is a bunch of phony baloney, but we do expect it of our reps, and they expect it from one other. Let em shout each other down on CNN. A Presidential speech to the joint bodies in the House of Representatives isn't the time or place.
Even in the PM's Questions, which is very unruly (and entertaining) by comparison, the forms of address are exacting, the harrumphing mainly accompanies the politicking of party principals and is not unrestrained, the cat calls are audible but brief, and back-benchers are usually given courteous attention when they rise to speak. It's hardly a free for all.
awww...screw decorum.
To with phony politeness and politics as usual on the Hill. I would love to see the American people pull these elitists from their ivory perches up there. If one Congressman "heckles" this guy, I'm thinkin'...I wanna see more of 'em doing it!
I don't wanna see "politeness" when this guy is using their podium to promote huge government takeovers, control, and increasing power over our lives. Screw that!
Get off your butts and start fighting this crap. Heckling ain't half of what I'd like to see done. I wanna see a sea change, a revolution. People (including congresspeople) shouting down these authoritarian ass's...standing up and doing the "we're mad as ..." thingy.
Besides, who the watches CNN?
white people.
Eh, he wasn't lying anyhow.
I like everything about that cartoon...including Biden catching some zzzzzz's.
Bush was never disrespected like this during a joint session speech. Nor should he have been. Surely there's no need to defend a man who calls the POTUS a liar on national television during a speech?
You can't call the president a liar durning his address to congress on national tv. It's that simple. You knew the boos were coming when Obama was calling the people who did not agree with him names but again you don't yell out "lie" durning his reading.
I had to laugh at Olberman last night "He should apologize,resign,leave the country" something like that.Let the voters decide that. He seems to forget about other peoples opinion besides Obamas.
FYI Obama did lie.
Yoni, aren't you one of the ones that complain when people bring up Bush whenever Obama is criticized? Aren't you doing the same here?
Nothing has happened yet, so how did he lie? How can you lie about somehting before the actual act?
The GOP'er yelled he was lying when he said illegals weren't going to be covered? So how exactly did he lie? Why do I have a feeling your going to avoid this...
This address to Congress was BS anyway. There's no state of emergency, this ain't no State of the Union speech. This was just another Obama speech promoting healthcare. Like he did at Kennedy's Funeral, like he's done every freakin' day of the week.
Demanding he speak before Congress, and on National TV...just for another pep talk on a Bill he wants past, is absolute bs. This is Congress business now. Stay outta our faces and let them do their work. Quit demanding everyone cover you every time you wanna open your trap. STFU already!
And the only time OBAMA lies...is when he opens his mouth.
They shoulda grabbed his butt, and hauled him outta the room..."AND STAY OUT!!"

I could have sworn he was just elected President. I guess that would mean he can pursue whatever agenda he wants to..
According to Boortz this guy was standing outside the assembly hall with a small cardboard sign that read "It's Bull" or something short along those lines. He was even reported to have brought the sign in with him to the chambers.
This guy had every intention to cause some and it worked. He's gonna be a guest next week on every conservative talk radio host's show.
I'm guessing he was planning on holding the sign up but was told by whoever was sitting next to him to quit his , so he instead had to think of another way to stir up.
Wilson was a pussy for apologizing.
How great was it seeing Pelosi try to mad dog him.
Joe just confessed it was a wrong place and a wrong time for him to say "you lie", not meaning he admitted what he said was wrong.
Yes really. But if it makes you feel better....
PS I wonder why he apologized over a non big deal, Yoni?
It was obviously a calculated move and not a spontaneous moment of passion.
and it was idiotic from a political standpoint. Wilson may have won points with voters in his home state, but it only furthers the perception that the GOP is not interested in anything other than obstruction and party politics.
What's more, it may have the effect of helping Obama to "rally the troops" and motivate some of the blue dog dems and other reluctant supporters to get on board with his push for health care.
During Obama's speech he said the illegals would not be covered. He changed number of uninsured from 47 million to 30 million. Shocking! Why did he do that? He is letting people know there was 15-17 million illegals that were counted in the orginal number and by reducing that number he is trying to let people know now he won't cover illegals as he orginally wanted too. Bull . That is all it is.
Everyone has been saying for years the high cost of all healthcare is contributed to illegals and unisured going to emergency rooms making the cost run high for healthcare for all of us. That will not change if illegals are not covered by what Obama wants. The illegals will still be covered making all of us pay for people that should not be in our country.
If Obama all of a sudden decided not to cover the illegals then why can they still be able to access emergency rooms and not paying?
When Obama decides how to check for ID when the illegals try to get his free healthcare plan let me know.
when i first heard he said this i thought he was speaking in the 3rd person plural, as in they are all liars. now that would have been accurate.
