Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), who gained national notoriety for shouting, "You lie!" during an address by
President Barack Obama to a joint session of Congress, now says he's been "vindicated" for calling out the President.
On his campaign website, Wilson wrote that the President did, in fact, lie when he said that no money from the
health care overhaul would go to illegal immigrants. Wilson wrote that a $28.8 million grant recently awarded by
the Department of Health and Human Services to community healthcare centers -- of which $8.5 million is
earmarked toward migrant and seasonal workers -- has proven that Obama was lying.

Barack Obama while Obama addressed a joint session of Congress
to outline his proposal for reforming health care During his address,
Obama said: "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."
