In a move that shocked the room, Joe Wilson had enough of Barack Obama’s ridiculous statements in his address to congress last night on ObamaCare. Just after Obama stated that his health care bill would not cover illegal immigrants Joe yelled….
“You Lie!!”
The death-look he received from the three musketeers was riveting (Obama, Biden, Pelo$i).
Back in July the House Ways and Means Committee voted down the Heller amendment by a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines. The Heller amendment was an amendment to HR3200 that simply said that no illegal immigrants would be covered under the health care bill.
The democrats would have none of that and refused the amendment that would have guaranteed tax payers would not be providing health care for millions of illegals as well as the millions that would come in the future just to take advantage of the loophole.
Its no wonder that Joe couldn't hold his disdain any longer. The president was lying.
Wilson then issued an official statement saying, "This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.
Personally I believe when your very way of life is under attack its not the best time for civility.
Congressman Joe Wilson was elected to the South Carolina Senate in 1984 as a Republican from Lexington County, and never missed a statutory session in 17 years. After the Republicans gained control of the chamber in 1996, he became the first Republican to serve as Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Wilson was a member of the Columbia College Board of Visitors and Coker College Board of Trustees.
