By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer Laurie Kellman, Associated Press Writer 24 mins ago WASHINGTON A South Carolina Republican lawmaker shouted "You lie" at President Barack Obama as he addressed Congress on Wednesday. The congressman later apologized for his "lack of civility."
In his speech in the House chamber, Obama was telling lawmakers that the Democratic plans for health care overhaul do not cover illegal immigrants.
"The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," Obama said.
"You lie!" Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted from his seat, jabbing a finger in the air.
In a statement, Wilson said later that he regretted the incident.
"This evening I let my emotions get the best of me," Wilson said. "While I disagree with the president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility."

Don’t worry about the apology. It doesn’t matter because the DIMS wont be talking about it and I don’t know why we should dwell on it either. Support the Joe Wilson’s of Congress.

Truer words were never spoken. No apology needed.

I could not stand to watch, but just checked Drudge. Amazing. A Republican found some spine and accused the lying liar of lying.
True to Republican form he quickly backtracked.

The apology was out of decorum only. He meant what he said during the speech he didn’t mean what he said in the apology...
To: cpforlife.org
He apologized, now he should be ostracized....

Have you ever heard a Dem apologize......for anything? I can’t seem to remember one.
You are right, as soon as a Republican gets a spine it just as quickly disappears.
What a shame.

In the end, the only one who spoke the whole truth tonight, who addressed the entire Joint Session, was South Carolina Congressmen Joe Wilson. And he did it with just two words...YOU LIE!
Obama says he is going to save enough from one huge, inefficient, wasteful government program, Medicare, to pay for an even larger (eventually) also sure to be enefficient wasteful government program, Obamacare.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT BRAVO SIERRA?
Can you possibly trust or believe after the stimulus, bail-out, and Cash for Clunkers fiascos that this is what will happen?
No.
Read the bill the Democrats put forward. it is a HUGE government bureaucracy.
...and, it will lead to government officials deciding the standards for who gets coverage when...basically, for older Americans, it will amount to death panels.
