Did Obama apologize for calling his critics “liars” last night? The phrase is there shortly before Joe Wilson’s exclamation.
Republicans distance themselves, Joe Wilson grovels for forgiveness, and the GOP just lost all its backbone we had forced upon it over the last couple of months. No surprise.
The only mistake was the apology . . .
MISTAKES??? Bullshit!! That wasn’t a mistake calling him out on his lies! That was spot on target and I’m VERY disappointed that the Republican “leadership” urged Joe to apologize in the first freakin place!!!
How magnamious from the lying shyster. Obama should apologize for lying. If illegals aren’t covered by his grand plan, why are their numbers included in the ‘rats bogus 47 Mio uninsured Americans numbers?
Obama should not be using a joint session of Congress to spew his lies. That venue is reserved for things presidential and what he did last night was far from presidential.....
What, no beer?
Narcissists never apologize....watch, the sheeple will buy this BS as “compassion”! +++Sigh+++
No beer summit. BO rather have a beer alone so he can laugh his butt off!
O’bozo is the biggest mistake/liar in history.
did O apologize FOR LYING?!!!
WHY are Repubs such WEENIES?
Why block the legislation that would PROHIBIT providing medical coverage to illegal immigrants?
The list, ping
Which mistake are they talking about?...........the one who told the truth or the one telling lies?
Sounds like Obama doesn’t want Wilson to get anymore attention. I wonder why.
I believe the word you are looking for is 'Cowards'. They have no backbone, no testicular fortitude, no belief in what is right and no moral compass. And somehow, they believe that the Democrats respect them, when their own party members don't.
Yep, and the biggest mistake is sitting in the Oval Office.
