Obviously I don't want people just shouting "LIAR!" But if a President wants to address Congress there should be some debate. Otherwise, what's the point, other than him trying to boost his approval rating?

I don't think anybody should ever be "made" to apologize since it means nothing if there is no sincerity. This is a case where the guy is not sorry. He has made the talk show rounds and is lavishing the attention. There are rules for a reason. If everybody in congress just stood up and started yelling whenever they didn't like something it wouldn't work. The problem for the teabaggers and protestors is that the election happened and they don't like the results. Just becuase people are rude at town hall meetings or are willing to publicly disrespect the president, that doesn't mean that there vote should count anymore than the last time it was counted. That isn't how democracy works. If you lose, then you are supposed respect the will of the voters. The republicans didn't stand up and interupt George W Bush when he was spending money we didn't have. It is pretty clear he distorted the facts to sell the Iraq war and nobody was concerned about that enought to stand up and get outraged. Over 4.000 Americans died and Joe Wilson didn't throw a fit about that. There seems to be something more to the emotional response we are seeing to President Obama and the facts seem to prove that it has nothing to do with fiscal responsiblity.

I think he owed the President, and this nation, an apology for behaving as though he were 7 and not as a public servant whose livelihood comes from taxes.



This downward spiral of adult behavior has the right playing to their low educated, hate mongering right wing the talk show pundits have given them. If this is the best republicans can do, they are on their way out. MOST in this nation, over 70% , back Obama.

LOL !!! 70 % back Obama ????? Prove that. Hell show at least some polls results or something.



You guys are getting prety good at making these unsubstantial statements that in no way can be quantified. It's like Obama saying he'll cut medicare by 500 billion but it won't affect the care current medicare recipients are getting.



Hate mongering to liberals is anyone who doesn't agree with them, period. Oh and that's their definition of a racist also.

Why not...righties drive through life under the influence of impaired thinking, exhibiting sloppy reasoning, with highly compartmentalized beliefs, double standards, hypocrisy, self-blindness, a profound ethnocentrism, and a ferocious dogmatism that makes it unlikely anyone could ever change their minds with evidence or logic. Cherry picking what they do and do not like about the British government, and presenting that as evidence that they're right about something is to be expected.

Bah, Liberal pig-dogs don’t frighten us. I unplug my nose in their general direction. Liberal bed wetting types, their mothers were hamsters, those silly, simple minded wipers of other people’s bottoms.
