Well, all I gotta say is way to go Joe Wilson...you called it as it is. The comment "You Lie" was pretty accurate as far as I can see and I have to say, it must have really ticked you off to suddenly shout that out at Obama.....I say it was a good call!!
So, does everyone remember all the statements that have been made from Democrats, including Barack Obama himself, that 47 million Americans are without health insurance? Well, that's no longer the operative number.
On September 9, in his speech, the president introduced a new number in the health care debate. "There are now more than thirty million American citizens who cannot get coverage," the president said. But on August 10, at a town hall meeting, Obama referred to the "46, 47 million people without health insurance in our country…" And on July 23, he said, "This is not just about the 47 million Americans who don't have any health insurance at all…" What's the difference? Obama appears to be choosing his words carefully. There is a difference between Americans who "cannot get coverage" and Americans who "don't have any health insurance at all." The interesting question is why Obama has chosen to downgrade the number from 47 million to 30 million. Is it the estimated 12 to 17 million illegal immigrants who are flooding the health care system presently??? I say, look for Democrats to begin using the new figure in making the case for Obamacare....I say Joe Wilson was right!!!
