You can thank the GOP Congressional leadership. The GOP leaders probably told Wilson to apologize immediately.
omg.
another ball-less pubie.
What’s done is done. Joe Wilson’s two words will be remembered longer than anything in POTUS’ speech. The apology won’t change that.
Apologize for telling the truth?
The Republican Party called my house today and I informed them we are no longer Republicans. I told them it is a sad day when people in wheelchairs, people with walkers, young mothers with babies have more guts and have to get out and fight for their rights and their country because their Republican representatives are too weak and corrupt to do it.
Hey, I understand the pressure to apologize but the truth he spoke in the halls of congress tonite in front of the nation can never be redacted!
Please do not apolgize.
Washington DC is a case study of Groupthink!
I still applaud him.
That’s too bad.
His two words were simple yet profound. “YOU LIE”.
It’s called Rightous Indignation Joe.
No need to worry about Civility to the Rats.
They called us: Nazis, Brownshirts, Traitors, Racists, Thugs, Astroturfers and plenty of other names.
Always Speak the Truth.
Shouting out a remark like that was a bit tacky. There is a certain decorum expected when the sitting president addresses Congress.
That being said, it would have been MUCH BETTER if Joe had walked up to the podium in the middle of the speech, patiently waited to be recognized, then READ OBOZO THE RIOT ACT, CHAPTER AND VERSE!!
Yeah, dat’s da ticket!
Unfortunate. He could have made a significant statement against Chairman Zero by holding his ground and sticking to the truth.
Joe Wilson DID violate house rules, but he is RIGHT in calling Obama a LIAR....
Yes, there is a provision in the bill that states that Obamacare will not apply to illegals.
But SCOTUS ruled in 1996, that similar rules under Clinton’s 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, were ILLEGAL, that you LEGALLY CANNOT DENY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GOVERNMENT COVERAGE.
Here’s a PDF of the Chester Note:

They put this in the bill for cover, KNOWING the SCOTUS would later strike it!!!
I’m cool wit this but I wish he had asked Obama to apologise for calling Sarah Palin and millions of others liars.
lol im sure joe means its hahahahha
It doesn’t matter. The fact is everybody knows he’s right, apology or no. And you see, he did not apologize saying he was wrong, he apologized for incivility. So he basically apologized for being rude, but he’s still correct- Obama lied.
Weak Bastard.
so he apologized for his “lack of civility” ...NOT for what he said. Go Joe!
