You lie. That's what Republican Representative Joe Wilson from South Carolina yelled at President Obama on Wednesday nights address to congress. You lie. It seems to me when G.W. Bush spoke to congress the democrats did not show that kind of disrespect. Yeah when he showed up there were some boos but once his speeches to the joint session of congress started the democrats remained quiet. You lie, is what the democrats could have said but they didn't. What I would like to know is where was Joe Wilson the last eight years before Obama took office? Because if there was ever a need to shout you lie, it was during the Bush presidency. For example Bush lied to the country about Iraq being tied to Al Qaeda, he lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and he lied about Iraq's mobile weapons labs. And because of these lies, over four thousand US soldiers have given their lives in Iraq. Where was Joe Wilson then. The real issue is, he shouted you lie about the health care issue. Specifically the issue of insuring illegal aliens. HR3200 S246 (Health care reform bill) specifically states that there will be no federal payment for undocumented aliens. A fact that even Fox News's Bill O'reilly agreed to telling Karl Rove that he was wrong along with Joe Wilson immediately following Obamas speech. If you are going to show up the president in front of the world, at least have your facts straight. I have mine straight and it's no wonder that with people as stupid as Joe Wilson shaping this countries future that the average American stands up and and shouts "I want government out of my medicare" at town hall meetings. People, don't take my word or Fox News's word or MSNBC's word. Get off your ass and do a little research. It would surprise you how much a little bit of knowledge stimulates your brain.
