Mr. Wilson was reacting to the President's claim that illegal aliens would not be covered under his plan. Mr. Wilson has, in subsequent interviews, pointed out that he has read the 1000-page bill, and is aware that while the bill disallows coverage for illegals, it also lacks any enforcement provisions to determine if potential users are, in fact, illegals. He is also pointing out that amendments to provide enforcement have been disallowed by Democrat leaders. Perhaps some good may come of his incivility.<br /><br />That being said, the President called opponents of his plan liars.

And you may well be right. Alas, we can't ever know for sure. All I know is Keith Olbemann and Rachel Maddow(whom I watched that night) spent much more time on the "You Lie" comment than on the content of the speech. <br /><br />As for the "Twitterverse," virtually 100 % of the discussion was on Congressman Joe Wilson, even from such liberal luminaries as @markos (Daily Kos).<br /><br />Regardless, the TOTALITY of the night gave a big boost to President Obama.<br /><br />I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your stopping by to comment. Thanks and come back often.Bob Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171655256407149176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-13940761109447669022009-09-11T13:43:00.138-05:002009-09-11T13:43:00.138-05:00Joe certainly didn't do himself or his cause a...Joe certainly didn't do himself or his cause any favors, but I think the damage done will be relatively fleeting. There are months to go before a health care bill can reach the light of day, and a chasm to cross even amongst Democrats in the House and Senate.<br /><br />These anti-illegal immigration people are a bit luny. I stand with them (it is illegal, after all), but this doesn't need to be interjected into everything. Makes them sound a bit like conspiracy nuts.shoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072061163666081867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-54409790999542619942009-09-11T07:47:46.276-05:002009-09-11T07:47:46.276-05:00This is the only 'conservative' blog I sto...This is the only 'conservative' blog I stop by to give a read. Though we are opposite politic / values contra indicated folk, you and I, I still understand the value in opposition parties within our democracy. (And I won't insult with further opinions of the present conservative leadership) I'm just going to take issue with your point, which I think is, that without the outburst from Wilson, President Obama would have not made an effective speech imploring support and after all, STILL, bipartisanship. <br /><br />BALDERDASH! (that's the comment). With all due respect, no mean-ness or intent...just a simple observing comment. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419040049480437384noreply@blogger.com
