The President Lies: Updated

The mainstream American Pravda is all abuzz with the news that, in the midst of President Obama's snake oil speech to Congress last night on healthcare, South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson dared to shout out, "You lie!" when the president, lying through his teeth, said that Obama Care would not cover illegal aliens.

For the record, Wilson's comment, in the middle of a president's speech before Congress, was inappropriate--dead-on accurate, but inappropriate. The funniest part of the entire episode was the shocked expression on Nancy Pelosi's face.

In case anyone has forgotten, the Republicans came up with an amendment to the healthcare legislation which would prohibit illegals from getting free healthcare. But, of course, the Democratic-controlled House defeated that amendment. If they wished to ban illegals from receiving free healthcare, they had the opportunity to do so.

Even the liberal Associated Press called Obama out on his lies. Read the shocking story from Gateway Pundit:

Stunner... AP Pummels Liar In Chief's Dishonest Speech

"Here's a stunner.
After the campaign speech Barack Obama delivered to Congress tonight the state-run media reported that Dear Leader's talking points were not true.
They were being kind.
This made it past the editor's desk at the AP:


'President Barack Obama used only-in-Washington accounting Wednesday when he promised to overhaul the nation's health care system without adding "one dime" to the deficit. By conventional arithmetic, Democratic plans would drive up the deficit by billions of dollars.

The president's speech to Congress contained a variety of oversimplifications and omissions in laying out what he wants to do about health insurance.

OBAMA: "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period."

THE FACTS: ...The long-term prognosis for costs of the health care legislation has not been good.

OBAMA: "Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have."

THE FACTS: ...The Congressional Budget Office analyzed the health care bill written by House Democrats and said that by 2016 some 3 million people who now have employer-based care would lose it...

OBAMA: "Don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut. ... That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare."

THE FACTS: Obama and congressional Democrats want to pay for their health care plans in part by reducing Medicare payments to providers by more than $500 billion over 10 years...
There's much more here.'


Also, The National Right To Life Committee says that Obama was lying about abortion too.

And, his talking point about not covering illegal immigrants was not true either."


Someone at the AP will have to be taken to the woodshed for daring to speak out against the beloved president.

Read this from Rich Lowry, and read how Obama twisted the truth.

In summary, the majority of the media ignored the fact that the president of the United States was lying to the American people last night, but focused on the truthful comment made by Joe Wilson. Lots and lots of Americans cheered Wilson from their TVs as they heard him communicate their exact beliefs.

Go here to financially support Joe Wilson.
