Joe Wilson Was Right
Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 24, 2014 | David Rutz

Posted on 04/25/2014 6:50:08 AM PDT by Cheerio

Rep. Joe Wilson (R., S.C.) created an outcry in September 2009 when he blurted out “You lie!” at President Barack Obama while he discussed health care reform before Congress.

Wilson may have been off base on the particular claim on which he challenged Obama, but it turns out he was ahead of the curve. A host of statements by Obama since his first campaign for president up through this past month have been proven to be false or completely contradictory to earlier statements.

The public has caught up to Wilson, as well. Sixty-one percent of voters said in a Fox News poll that they believe Obama lies “most” or “some” of the time on important issues. On everything ranging from Obamacare to Syria to Fast & Furious to Benghazi, the fact-checkers have agreed.

With due respect to the author, most of us knew he was right at the time….

Our nation has become infected by people, particularly in this administration, who are drunk on power, and who feel that it is their job to fundamentally change America. And they are willing to lie straight to our faces to bring about their change, and have been doing it over, and over, and over again. To whit:

That's just to name a VERY few.

The Obama Administration's so-called "Phony" Scandals

The Obama Administration's Disasterous and Shameful "Firsts"

Of course, he was right at the time and still is.

“With due respect to the author, most of us knew he was right at the time….”

And with due respect to the author, Joe Wilson was NOT off base with his claim that Obamacare would be given to illegals too!

I still don’t understand this. If he had stuck to his guns and NOT said “sorry”, he’d be politically golden instead of timid and virtually forgotten.

September, 2009? I thought Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” during the State of the Union speech.

As Clint Eastwood said “President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people” Can’t say it any better than that. We are living under a hoax.

Except, of course, Joe Wilson was not off base but 100% accurate in what he stated. O-bummer was lying then and he is lying now and he does not even have the grace to make up plausible lies but will throw out any sort of poop and the media will tell us it is candy.

Is it so hard to admit that Mr Wilson knew what he was talking about and you ignored him?

Clint Eastwood talking to the “chair-obama” was just another way of Josey Wales saying “don’t pi** down my back and tell me it’s raining. My favorite western of all time.

I think Bill Clinton called Obama something else. A “Fairytale, wasn’t it?

That's how I remember it too. Wilson was dead right, wasn't he?

LOL! He also called him a coffee boy, said he would have been getting him coffee LOL Dems know damn well Obama is a fraud, but all they care about is winning elections and they knew he could win on the race deal even though the guy had the qualifications of an eggplant, so they ran him. Same with Hillary, just wait, they are going to run her as “1st woman President” even though she was a massive screw up in every job she’s ever held not to mention being corrupt as hell. But just watch, it will be another total hoax, they’ll make Hillary out to be this crusader for women and children and all the lemmings will vote for her.
