From Obama's teleprompter:
Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple.
There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.

He called Sarah Palin a liar. He called town hall protesters liars. He called GOP House members liars. And on top of that, he impugned their motives.
Notice that the next paragraph begins with "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false." This juxtaposition infers that the same people are lying about this as well.
He didn't have to take that aggressive, belligerent attitude towards these legitimate concerns, but he did, and then he got some right back in his face. Joe Wilson stole the headline, and he was correct. I'm glad his emotions ran away with him.
irony is lost on libtards
Of course Barry can get away with it; he is a Far left Liberal Dem and POTUS. But put the shoe on the other foot and let someone else call Barry a liar and you get death threats...
It seems to me this should be THE talking point regarding this issue. How do you feign outrage at Joe Wilson, when in the preceding paragraph, Obama’s telepromter basically called Joe Wilson and others liars. He introduced the word into the night’s proceedings. So here comes the next paragraph, and Wilson shoots back—YOU lie. It was in response to being called a liar. Now granted, that sounds a little childish (he started it.) But he DID start it.
The biggest liar of all is (Obama) and it was obvious that he still does not know what some of H.R.3200 says. Shred that bill it is full of Union perks that will ruin any freedom we have left.
Shame on the Republicans who joined the chorus. It’s just another example of how and why they are the minority. Instead of pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of Zero they went aftter their own guy. Sickening :-(
But that is only because he is soooo much smarter that we mere American Citizens and he knows what is best for all of us.
Just ask him. Ask any of them. They will tell you all about it. Over and over.
I was surfing the news channels last night, and Mosely-Braun was describing Obama’s performance—”He was Obama the Teacher.” LOL.
Take nothing the government “tells us” with a grain of salt.
But very carefully watch their ACTIONS. What is in the written bills, the committees, the votes is the proof of real intent.
Government lies all the time to promote agenda.
Calling a liar, a liar, is Patriotic!
“bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost.”
Obama doesn’t believe that. What kind of a man is willing to make a claim like that before a national audience?
The Democrats and their allies have overstepped the line that separates participation in public affairs with authoritarian dictatorship.
See tagline.
I think finally Americans are getting tired of Obama’s verbal abuse and assaults....
You still can't comprehend this clown can look America in the eye and tell any lie it takes to implement his agenda. Americans are idiots and he knows it.

I just saw video on tv that I hadn’t seen before. From the speech, Obama says “While there are significant details that still need to be worked out” and there was laughter in the chamber. LOL. Not only did he get called a liar, he got laughed at. Has anyone reported on that? They actually showed in on MSNBC.
Thank you! So few have pointed this out. I was so busy screaming about Obama having just called Sarah Palin a LIAR that I didn't hear Joe Wilson's comment.
I wish more people had called the POTUS with the TOTUS out on this.
Pardon the repetition but, once again, I wish to say FU, BO
