My personal take on the Joe Wilson episode and all of the sign waving and exaggerated moaning and body language from republicans was becuase of how well Obama did. Republicans have spent the majority of the summer putting up every roadblock to reform they could think of in an attempt to cause Obama's "waterloo". But, in the span of an hour they watched all they worked for go up in smoke. The President used a forum only he could use to discredit them and all there scare tactics and lies. He also showed in his plan that he was willing to accept ideas that republicans had presented. In 60 short minutes, Obama took all of the wind out of their sails. Obama even pre-empted the lame republican reply that was laden with lies and scare tactics and given by a birfer. It was as if they wrote that speech in advance of Obama's. It was horrible as evidenced by NO republican making any mention of it.
It's like the election all over again. Palin went out on her scare-tour and riled up a good bit of hatred towards Obama based on lies and foolishness but one Obama speech later that set the record straight killed it and they lost. I'm hoping that the fear/hate sellers will once again lose and the America people will win a reformed healthcare system with a competitive public option.

Agreed- Fear mongoring has to end. It is a pathetic tactic used only in desperation.

Shame on you for not telling the truth.....the people don't want it.

I agree. He reminded me to focus on what's best for the country not one political party...which is the attitude and sentiment that won him the Democratic Primary and eventually the election, I think.

Absolutely! I was laughing at how this guy repeated the rhetoric that Obama had just addressed and debunked. Guess this lame could not edit his rebuttal in an impromptu fashion.

Being a conservative independent, to me, it was one of the best sincere speeches I've ever heard from a president, so much so that he actually forced many republicans to stand and clap when you know they didn't want to but had to, otherwise they'd really look bad. It was a brilliant speech forcing people to do something they didn't want to do in public.
