One of the House of Reps from South Carolina forgot to check his Confederate flag at the door of the Senate chamber. Watch this YouTube clip where JOE WILSON tells the president he is “a liar”. In all actuality I’m sure that EVERYONE in that room is a liar and certainly they are all cowards as well, but WILSON found the courage to do what no Rep or Senator has done ever in our country’s history. WILSON has publicly chastised the president before a broadcast joint session of Congress.
This wasn’t someone in a townhall meeting with a handscrawled sign saying “Don’t Tread On Me”. This was bureaucratic fratricide during WILSON’s bemusement. What exactly did WILSON think would come of this? Between the politicians that have wavered in their support of the president for his message to America’s schoolkids on the benefits of education to this ill-timed and poorly planned public outburst the enemies of BARACK OBAAMA have chosen a bad time to have a brain fart. America is not being put first.
Luckily for Rep. JOE WILSON and his family America is not a socialist nation where idiotcrats have to literally fall on their swords when they have a major PU~. America is the land of the second chance even when a person’s heart is as remarkably soiled as JOE WILSON’s is. I hope he goes into rehab for his drinking problem and I hope that he gains a modicum of civility for the duration of his time in public office. I’m not disappointed for WILSON because I didn’t believe that he was better than this anyhoo. I hope his family and those that love him get over their embarrassment.
“Luckily for Rep. JOE WILSON and his family America is not a socialist nation where idiotcrats have to literally fall on their swords when they have a major PU~. ” So true. If Obama really was trying to make this a socialist nation, wouldn’t Wilson have to be put to death for his impudence? What about the networks who didn’t spin his speech favorably for him? Bananas…
Since we don’t have a gulag, let’s ship him to Alaska where they dig people with his intellect running the show.
I just blogged about this. As despised as Bush was, he was still the POTUS and during a nationally televised address to congress….you don’t disrespect the Pres.
I was waiting for his azz to start throwing shoes or Barbeque…hell, he’s from South Carolina. His opponent has all of a sudden started receiving record numbers of donations. LMAO! Thanks Joe.
I was listening to the speech on the radio on my way home from work and thought some random spectator had managed to break decorum. When I found out it was a Rep I couldn’t believe it. That man had to black out, they said he was on his blackberry the whole time after that, probably trying to figure out how to un-hang himself.
I found it interesting that Obama made remarks about fiscal irresponsibility (Iraq war, bush tax cuts) and the democrats applauded as if they were not a part of the Congress that approved, or disapproved silently, all of the missteps.
Also thought it was a gangsta ass move by the prez to call out individually Ted Kennedy’s republican allies who worked with him across the aisle.
The reason y Obama is facing things like this and Bush who lied countless times didnt is because of color. Many people in government don’t know anything about economics government or history and were elected by people who dont know about them either.
While I’d like to believe that his comments were a result of his passionate, yet arguably understanble opposition to the president regarding this controversial and high-stake issue, the absurdly disrespectful nature of his conduct leads me to conclude that this is not the case. In fact, his actions seem more and more ridiculous the more I think about them. That bul must be racist and/or like most of his party, salty that our new regime is heading in a vastly different direction than its immediate predeccesors.
The look of confusion on Pres. Obama’s face was priceless.
I couldn’t believe that as a “leader”, he’d allow his ignorance/disrespect/racism to bleed through so intently, on live television.
Thats ranks up there with the guy who was caught on the congress recording bragging about the chick he spanked & bagged.
But, Obama’s the one screwing things up, right Republicans??????
What an asshole.
