RE: The latest numbers and what they could mean for November
Just like you didn't build it, you also didn't kill him (Osama).
If it weren't for Obama, America would not exist.

Obama didn't kill him either, Seal Team SIX did.
And Obama didn't build America, nor is he good for it. We are on an unsustainable path. Obama didn't build that either, but he certainly DID stomp on the accelerator.

Wanna bet? If we don't re-elect Obama we'll be the most racist country on the planet.
The other side was pretty racist. Birth certificates, tar baby, "you lie!", college grades, Muslim Kenyan socialist, racist state party jokes, it all has racial connotations. We'll see what they say about the next prez.
I'm not defending his outburst during a congressional speech here, but how was Joe Wilson a racist by shouting "you lie"?

Obviously the Left considers any disagreement with Obama as racially motivated.

It showed a contempt for the man and disrespect of the Presidency that no one has ever seen before. I think in Joe Wilson's head he saw Obama as some boy and not the POTUS (kind of like many of you). People hated Bush and Clinton but no one would interrupt a state of the union speech. Obama should have had his @ss tossed for that crap.

Obama shouldn't have lied, either. That showed disrespect both of the presidency and the congress.
I really think we need to have sessions like the prime minister's questions that the Brits have. President shows up in congress once a month and they grill him. If I were president, I'd start them. That's a heck of a lot more meaningful that reading a prepared speech.

And what good would that do? Today they very easily look you dead in the eye and lie without a moment of hesitation.

True, but at least they'd have to do it on the record.

Until proven otherwise, the bolded part is all you and I needed to draw from the incident. The rest of it is partisan conjecture and a stretch, at best. And I bet if you dug through our 236 years of history, I'm sure you'll be able to come up with a lot of contempt and disrespectful comments politicians have made about a sitting POTUS.
And I assume the "kind of like many of you" line was a vague general comment about the board and not directed toward me. Aside from a few criticisms about specific policies, you wouldn't be able to find one instance of me posting a cartoon, mish-mashing his name, questioning his birthplace or religion, etc. Further, if we're talking about message boards and blogs in general, how many saw Bush as a redneck/fascist/hick/baffoon with daddy issues and not worthy of the respect offered to the POTUS office?

I don't think they could care less about it being on the record. And it really pains me to say that. And it also really pains me to think of the large part of the population, left and right, who are perfectly happy having lies told to them just as long as their side wins.

I am very aware you think that. I was asking about when the dickhead yelled out "you lie" since that is what was being discussed.
