Obama Presential Adress 9/9/09

I know all you guys tuned in last night to see Obama's presendential address. If you didn't, shame on ya! It was inspirational as always. Obama, is someone who is obviously too intelligent to let anyone get in the way of his main goal.Obama spoke to congress telling them to "Stop bickering, and pass the healthcare reform". He wants to provide a better America, and even though I'm no politician, you can see the hunger, and hear the conviction in his voice.
Also during the speech after Obama said, "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted from his seat,"You lie!" on the Republican side of the chamber. It is reported that he later tried to apologize, saying that he (himself)was out of line, and became emotional,but wasn'unable to contact the President.
Actions like this are disrespectful, and uncourteous to our President. I haven't seen anything like this during a presidential address, even when Bush was in office.
