As President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on the need for health insurance reform, Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina actually screamed out "you lie" on the House floor in front of the full Congress and the entire nation.
President Obama called on Congress to act on health insurance reform but also to echo the words of the late Senator Ted Kennedy by showing the "character of our country." And this is how House Republicans respond?
Disrespecting the President before the eyes of the nation and just at the moment when President Obama was offering his solution to the greatest challenge of our time is truly an outrage.
As President Obama said during his speech, "If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out." Start right now with Congressman Joe Wilson. Tell Representatve Wilson: Shame on you!

You are an idiot, and it is truly frightening to think we have people like you in congress.

Great job and I'm glad someone has the balls to call it like it is. Tell Congress to start to look for a new job after our elections and they will be taking that worthless president with them.
They are worthless.

We are the only western, industrialized nation left without comprehensive medical care for all. Businesses large and small in America cannot compete with businesses in other countries that don't need to shoulder health care costs that their governments provide.
You are an embarrassment to the entire rest of the world that doesn't pride itself on it's cultural likeness to the Jerry Springer show.

Your behavior is an attack on values, a poor example to the young, and confirmation that our country is becoming a cesspool. It's unfortunate you represent anyone besides your unmannered self. Aside from that, all I can say is Obama may think along different lines than you do, but that doesn't mean he lies.

THIS MAN, WILSON, SHOULD BE DEPORTED FOR TREASON AND DISRESPECT FOR OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR COUNTRY AND FOR THE CITIZENS WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA.
