Gotta love Rep. Joe Wilson, who called out "you lie!"in the midst of President Obama’s speech before the joint session of Congress.
I would have loved it if the whole place erupted into a bunch of those juvenile "Bullsh@t" coughs, but what can you do? One "you lie!" will have to suffice.
Then Obama went after Palin in his address to the joint session.
Really? Didn't she step down?
Leave it to Obama to bring up the past, or Palin, to get the focus off his own real agenda?
What did Palin have to say?
I'm pleased that the White House is finally responding to Republican
health care ideas instead of pretending they don't exist.[1] But in
doing so President Obama should follow his own sound advice and avoid
making "wild misrepresentations".[2] Medicare vouchers would give
everyone on Medicare the chance to decide for themselves which health
plan to use, rather than leave that decision to government bureaucrats.
Such proposals are the kind of health care reform that Republicans stand
for: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven.
The White House talking points leave the rest of my arguments
unanswered. They don't respond to the idea that all individuals should
get the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through
their employers; that we must reform our tort laws; and that we should
allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines. The White House
also fails to respond to the Nyce/Schieber study indicating that wages
will fall if the government expands coverage without reducing health
care inflation rates.
One last thing: after President Obama's speech tonight, listen for which
pundits use the words "false", "scary", and "risky" in describing the
proposals I put forward. That's how you'll be able to tell who the White
House counted as "allies" worthy of receiving its talking points.
