During the speech, the president discussed the health coverage of illegal immigrants, saying: "There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." At this point, South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson yelled "You lie!", briefly interrupting the speech.[7] Wilson later issued a statement apologizing for his outburst.[8][9] On September 15, the House approved a "resolution of disapproval" (as opposed to a formal censure) against Wilson, on a near party-line 240-179 vote.[10]

The outburst led to media coverage about the issue. Various sources noted that the House bill denies direct benefits, such as affordability credits, to illegal immigrants.[11][12][13][14] Section 246 of the bill, titled "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS," states: "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."[15][16] The bill did, however, require some to purchase health insurance who were not explicitly restricted from the proposed Health Insurance Exchange.[17] The Obama administration later stated that, in the final bill, these people would not be able to participate in the Exchange.[18][19] Specific language was subsequently included when the Senate healthcare-reform plan was introduced on September 16 which prohibits participation in the insurance exchange by persons not lawfully present in the U.S.[20][21][22]

(Note this is September 16th, the day AFTER Joe Wilson was NOT censured but it was voted for disapproval, that specific language was included prohibiting participation in the insurance exchange by ILLEGALS.....so who lied? Sorry Sixdogs, I'm not accepting a red herring on this either! THIS IS A NO SPIN ZONE...)

Joe Wilson should have been issued an apology from every congressman and media person that spoke out against his comment.  He was the only one there who had the balls to actually do his job as a representative of the american people. 

You want to talk about rules...The rules state that the members of congress are there to do what is in the best interest of the country, not their political agenda.  They, that is congress, should issue an apology to the american people for YEARS of abuse, neglect, and dereliction of duty.  Obama should not only issue an apology but be removed from office for a violation of contract that he entered into with the american people.  To my knowledge every one of those bastards took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution yet they violate it almost daily.  When members of the CIA and the military were charged with the violation of the constitutional rights of terrorists they were and are looking at jail time.  The members of congress and the rest of the gov't should have to live up to their own rules.
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.

So you want Joe Biden to be Commander in Chief of the military? You know, our enemies out there could care less about our Constitution.
