Never apologize, especially when you are right. Who can forget the disrespect shown Bush by the Democrats in many venues. They are not the ones to lecture anyone on decorum. Obama should be greated with shouts of "liar" wherever he goes.
Joe Wilson is Right, Obama is a Liar

It may have been a breach of protocol, and it may have been inappropriate but Rep. Joe Wilson got his point across. When Obama claimed his health care proposal would not cover illegals, Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “you lie”. He happens to be right. Not only is the President lying about not paying for illegal aliens health care, he has been caught lying before (SEE VIDEO - Right Column).
Senator John McSHAME was quick to try to appease the President and said this on CNN, “There is no place for it in that setting, or any other, and he should apologize for it immediately." Why don’t we stop playing the political correctness game and come out and address the issue. McCain should have come out and said something like this – “Although Wilson expressed his concerns in a regrettable way, his assertion happens to be correct.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform approximates the annual cost of healthcare for illegal immigrants to be $10.7 billion and calls the estimate conservative. Border states Texas and California are hit the hardest. In 2006 the Texas state comptroller estimates illegal immigrants cost hospitals $1.3 billion. In California, a 2004 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform put the state's annual cost at $1.4 billion. In addition 83% of Americans (according to Rasmussen) say proof of citizenship should be required before anyone can receive government subsidies. Despite the President’s claim that his plan does not cover illegals, there are no provisions or strategies put forward to curb the cost or deny their coverage.
I have something to tell Joe Wilson myself – Thank You. While our nation seems to be on a path of radical revolution, I can assure you that more than myself are thankful Mr. Wilson stood up for the American people. The people are tired of their voice not being represented. The likes of President Obama and Speaker of the House Pelosi don’t represent the desires of Americans; they represent their own desires for what they want this nation to resemble. They don’t like America, and they are feverishly trying to change the structure of our nation in order for it to fit their vision of what America should like.
Wilsons’s outburst represents growing anxiety among the American people as well as Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Rasmussen’s most recent Presidential tracking poll showed 39% strongly disapproving and only 31% strongly approving of the President’s performance, while 52% disapprove of the way Obama is handling health care. The President may experience a short term spike in ratings following his speech but expect his numbers to continue to slide over the long-term. They have been trending downward for a while (see Rasmussen graph).
Representative Wilson stood up for American’s last night, hopefully others will soon follow, but maybe they should do so in a more tactful way.

That is what Obama does best "LIE" He is the enemy who has been at our gates for sometime now, and finally we let him in to destroy America. Now we reap what we have been sowing these many years. The days of freedom have fled America when we trashed the Bible, and made a mockery out of our Creator. We deserve the fall of our nation and the enslavement of it"citizens, who have all become a bunch of "HELOTS"
