“You Lie” the two words which has created panic in the history of US politics, was actually the outburst of the Republican Joe Wilson to the US President Barack Obama. This incident happened when Mr. President was claiming that his plan is not offering free health care to the illegal immigrants.
Although today Joe Wilson apologized for shouting on the President Obama, but his outburst just when President Obama was addressing Congress on Wednesday night is very much significant in the US Politics. Democrats believe that this incident will convert into a turning point in the history of United States politics.
The incident happened in this way: President Obama was delivering Health Care Speech in the Congress, and suddenly Joe Wilson shouted “You Lie” on him, when he explained that his health care plans are not for the illegal immigrants. Just after the incident everyone started watching Joe, while he was busy with his BlackBerry, as if he was searching the proofs in support of what he said.
The incident created panic in democrats, some one from democrats bench shouted “Shame on You” while some one asked him to throw out from the Congress. Although just when President finished his speech, Joe Wilson apologized for the shouting incident. He said that he is aware that his remark was not appropriate and really regrettable, but he was totally in disagree with the statement of the President Obama. He described his act as the lack of civility and extends sincere apologies to the President and Congress.
Although in the Congress there were many other incidents of disruption in the health care speech of Mr. President, many times republican members held up papers to represent what they had in their mind for the bill. Let’s see what would be the after affects of the incident in coming days.
