Kudos for TRUTH...

I don't know how many of you listened to Obama's speech last night, but I certainly did. Nobody listened when Hitler spoke; but I will always listen to someone that is telling me how he plans to destroy my life and country.
If you've read through the "health care plan" that Obama is proposing, you'll find that in his speech, he flat out lied about several things in addition to never mentioning the penalties and exactly how it would be paid for.
Fortunately, one member of Congress had the balls to call him on one of his lies, publicly. When the illegal alien issue was brought up, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out, "You lie !" in an emotional outburst. For this, he has been berated by many. Actually, if you've ever seen a session of Congress, you know how disrespectfully our representatives talk to each other, yelling and calling names... Wilson did nothing wrong because the President was not telling the truth.
The truth of this matter is that specific language to eliminate illegal aliens from health care was put into the original document and per Obama's insistence, it was removed. This gave Obama the right to say that "illegals are not included in the plan". Talk about a slick lawyer trick.
I have no idea why this Congressional session was called other than for Obama to make another of his 142 (at present count) speeches about health care reform.
Actually, it is misnamed...it really is sick care reform that we're talking about.
He lied when he said it would not cost the taxpayers one cent.
He lied when he said that it was to the benefit of insurance companies.
Obviously, Obama either hasn't read the entire bill or he thinks that we're stupid.
We have health care for everyone (including illegal aliens) in this country...it's the costs that are outrageous (for those that have to pay). Costs would come down considerably if:
(1) We had Tort reform.
(2) Fraud was prosecuted.
(3) Waste was curtailed.
(4) If the gov't. got out of the way.
Again, I personally Thank You, Joe Wilson for expressing my sentiment at the exact moment that I thought it. This man is a true patriot and gets my vote.
