Rude but right

Rep. Wilson of South Carolina is being pilloried for his lack of decorum during a presidential address to Congress. His sin? He called the president of the United States a liar. What's being lost in all the hoopla is that he was absolutely correct to do so. I hope he goes on as many national news programs and says as much. President Obama was lying to the American people when he told them that it is false that illegal aliens will be covered under Obamacare. How do I know? Because democrats killed a provision that would have made it possible to screen illegal aliens out of the program. They say in the legislation that illegals won't be covered, but they refuse to enact safeguards to enforce that provision. It's akin to having the drinking age be 21 but making it illegal to check id's. You can bet that under that regime many under age drinkers would be strolling into packies and bars all across the nation without fear of being denied service.

What Rep. Wilson did is to say "the emperor has no clothes". In my estimation the president is delusional at best if he believes what he said last night. At worst, he is a demogogue, that will say whatever is necessary to get his bill passed. The American people deserve more from their president.
