I think it’s lame that he apologized and just shows what pansies these politicians in Washington are.
Who cares if it was rude to call Obama what he is, during his speech...the democrats boo’d Bush big time during his an as rude and insulting as that was, NO ONE apologized to Bush.
Who cares if people didn’t like that someone called Obama out...someone needed to.
It was the truth and it needed to be said!! And it’s a shame an apology was said at all, IMO.

He owes his apology to his colleagues, for his breach of protocol.
He should not retract a word of what he said, though.
Don’t be fooled. This language is just to get the bill passed through Congress.
The Dems know that just as the courts ruled that illegals must be given access to our public education system, the courts will rule that illegals must have access to our health care system.
The Dems know they can pass a bill ostensibly denying coverage to illegals, and then the courts will then make health coverage for illegals mandatory.
It was a lie by omission!
What Obama DOES NOT say is that Democrats actually voted AGAINST a specific provision in the health care bill that would have checked citizenship status.
I believe Obama will try to give citizenship to all illegals but could you direct me to a source where he actually said he would?
Thanks!
From the article “Obama had earlier this year signaled his support for immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship”
I'll see if I can find the actual quote. My main point is that, once you are on the “path”, you may not be a citizen, but you aren't illegal anymore.
Lacks 2 things:
1. A mechanism for proof of status
2. A mechanism to discourage illegals from attempting to obtain credits.
A lie based on omission is...a lie.
A single US-citizen newborn infant will qualify an entire family of illegal immigrants for affordability credits.

He apologized only after the RNC began demanding an apology and other Republicans jumped on him too. Also he's a freshman legislator.
He still stuck to his guns on the illegal alien part. Should he have apologized? No, but it doesn't rise to Macaca moment that did in Allen.
Weenies all.
Oh baloney.
When you step into the storied halls of Congress, you are awash in history. The memories are so thick you have to brush them away from your face. Extraordinary, legendary men strode those halls, and world-transforming decisions have been made within those walls.
Sophomoric outbursts such as Wilson’s have absolutely no place there. Centuries of tradition DEMAND it be thus.
It’s not about the person of Obama, it is about the Office of the Presidency, and the Congress of the United States, and the respect due those establishments, regardless of the name of any given individual who happens to be standing in them at any given moment.
It’s not a matter of disrespect to Obama, because Lord knows he deserves it, but disrespect to the hallowed halls in which Wilson stood and to the memories of all the exemplary gentlemen who have stood there across the ages.
You can most certainly call Obama a liar in the halls of Congress, but the only proper place to do it is at the podium, under the gaze of C-SPAN cameras, after having been recognized by the Speaker of the House.
Wow! And until they acquire citizenship, the democrats have stopped legislation that would require anyone from asking their legal status.
Thanks so much for your help!
Steven Camarota, he knows perfectly well that illegals do and will get free healthcare on our backs. Period. End of story.
The Usurper lies. The press covers.
If the original colonists held your ideals and attitudes, we would be singing "God Save the Queen", and not "The Star Spangled Banner".
The extraordinary, legendary men have left the building. The halls are now hallowed in memory only, and are currently stuffed with rats liars and cockroaches thieves.
He only apologized for the speech interruption, adding that he did so at the behest of the GOP.
At the same time, in his statement, he specifically went on to, in detail, expose Obama’s lie.
This was a very weak apology, as apologies go.
It’s kind of like when somebody lies and you call them a liar and punch them in the face and then you apologize for punching them in the face but say they’re still a liar.
What should have happened is that the initial heckle should have opened a floodgate of heckles, but it must have gone against some sort of code among lawmakers, I dunno.
The GOP needs to grow some.
