It was a childish, albeit true, outburst. I'm sure no doubt he was(is)sick of Obama having a free pass to lie and the media looks the other way. He is not alone in his feeling. Now the dems are just using it as a campaign tool.

Senator Wilson was inappropriate with his outburst. His statement of Obama's lies was accurate. Mr. Obama feels that lying is simply a tool to get where he wants to go. I have said this before but it bears repeating, until Obama I thought that we would never have a president as poorly prepared and inept as Jimmy Carter, I was wrong to think that.

A guy lies to your face and the politician sits there quietly. Another guy calls the lie what it is and the politician calls it INAPPROPRIATE! THAT is what's WRONG with politics-as-usual.

And look at us! We spend more time talking about whether or not Wilson had sufficient "decorum" rather than the fact the HE WAS RIGHT and is the only one with the balls to SAY IT!

I'm DEEPLY dissapointed that he apologized without requiring BO to issue a correction of the lie before doing so!

I want my representative to go to Washington to SPEAK FOR ME and to REPRESENT ME, and DEFEND TRUTH, NOT to go there and become part of the problem!

Obama didn't lie, he was speaking truth, but Wilson is so invested in the lies put forth by the conservatives (where shrill is the rule and not the exception) that he reacted emotionally when he should have shut his mouth. However so many people hate our duly elected president, Wilson has been able to turn his act of discourtesy into a fundraising tool and has raked in millions from others also invested in the notion that Obama lied.
As far as the "lies" of Obama go, they are minnows compaired to the lies foisted on the American People in the Neocon's rush to war in Iraq. There was no "mushroom cloud" no "WMDs"(except for the ones the republicans gave Saddam back when he was fighting the war they wanted him to fight) Thousands of people died so Haliburton and Blackwater could rake it in with lucerative government contracts. Choose the lies you like best!

Sorry Bella, your right. Obama did'nt lie. He just did'nt tell the WHOLE truth !
There is currently a bill( Democratic formed/backed) that wil not only "legalize" ILLEGALS in 24 hours(you read it right) but also allow "Gang Bangers" in as well "as long as they say they don't wnat to be in a gang anymore".
If you think I'm kidding check it out yourself. This is not from the Obama/Fox News "war" this is from C.N.N.
The Republican Minority Leader called this bill,
"A PIECE OF $&^% !" and he's not the only one that's "more than a little up set" by the "drivel" that is being PUSHED on us the AMERICAN people by a "socialistic" leaning government.
There's more to this "bill" that ALL should hear/see !

Regarding the war in Iraq,I think you have to remember that this country was in no mood, after nearly 3,000 people died in the towering inferno of 9/ll, to give the bad guys the first shot again before responding.

So we Pearl Harbored a country that had nothing to do with 9-11?
Follow the money, always follow the money. Do so and the true motivatiuons for slammin Iraq become crystal clear. All those no bid contracts given to a certain few corporations with close ties to members of the administration... This war was scarcely about oil and it wasn't about Sadaam, it was all about corporate welfare, a great way to stick the "peace dividend" the surplus Clinton left in the budget directly into the pockets of the NeoCon clique, leaving us trillions in debt and at odds with much of the civilized world, or military tarnished by allegations of torture and sexual abuse of prisoners. All so KBR, Blackwater and Halliburton could bill us for billions at a time...Follow the money people, it is more honest than the words spewed by the talking heads...See where it goes...

If you don't respect the man at least respect the office. Air the issue in the proper place and at the proper time. "Mr. President, that is not correct" and go on to prove it, would do more good. President Obama and the Democrats need to give up on the bill and re-write it in plain language so that we know what we are supposed to get. The Senators don't even understand it! Sometimes it feels like I am being punished for doing the right thing. I work my whole life and have health coverage as a retiree and then they want to give it to others for free on taxes that I have paid. Fix the economy; finish what we started in Iraq and Afghanistan. Make the nation as a whole politically and economically healthy and then revisit health care. With the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts the bill will die. RIP. Any support from the middle is lost give it up and move on.
