Wilson noted that he already apologized directly to the White House after shouting, "You lie," to the president during his Wednesday address to a joint session of Congress. The outburst triggered a political firestorm, but Wilson told "FOX News Sunday" that Democrats are just "playing politics" by trying to drag out the issue and force another apology. "I've apologized one time. The apology was accepted by the president, the vice president. ... I am not apologizing again," he told "FOX News Sunday."
...
"I believe in the truth. What I heard was not true," Wilson explained Sunday. "I believe (Obama) was misstating the facts."
Read it all...
Well littleoldlady, I may be in a distinct minority here, but I think Joe Wilson's "outburst" when President Obama addressed both Houses of Congress was totally out of line - really, this isn't Great Britain where the out-of-power party's "back benchers" routinely heckel the Prime Minister (or anyone else they feel like) and I surely noticed a LOT of GOP lawmakers literally wince when he made that outburst - so I do think he owes Obama an apology (according to the news sources I saw, Wilson called Obama who refused to take his call and then Emmanuel got on the phone and Wilson apologized to him. That was the "apology to the White House").
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all sure that he ever apologized to President Obama directly but if not he surely ought to try the old fashioned way: write him a snail mail apology and let the political debates on Health care, Cap and Trade and the economy get going again.
I can't believe it took me 30 minutes to post that comment - using TypePad - kept getting the Open ID credentials couldn't be verified, then the letters verification, followed by another your open ID credentials couldn't be verified!
ReplyDeleteIs anyone here using google and NOT experiencing this problem?
I don't think Wilson did the right thing either with his outburst, realwest, but I didn't hear that his apology was a non-apology. (Would you happen to have a link for that?) I believe that Congress DOES have more important things to do than to beat this dead horse until it's... pining for the fjords.
ReplyDeleteI'm using Google (signed up last night) and not having any problems at all.
ReplyDeleteAs for Joe Wilson's outburst, civility is one thing, obeisance is something else.
What non-apology littleoldlady - I heard it on Fox news - Wilson called Obama who wouldn't take the call and Wilson then apologized to Rahm Emmanuel - thus the apology to "the White House" part of Wilson's comment.
ReplyDeleteHey Geepers! Finally we're here together - but after I hopefully post this comment I'm gonna sign up for google!
ReplyDeleteThanks - hope you're doing well!
Oh, OBAMA wouldn't take the call?! Sorry, I misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteSo the goal is to make the man grovel? Lovely.
BTW, I signed up with a gmail (Google) account. No problems here.
Good Morning C2ers. Just got back from Mass and I am getting ready to watch the Jags Colts game. Damn Buckeyes lost last night. Great game though. I hope you all have a great and relaxing Sunday.

I just learned that you cannot type a long post and then hit refresh before posting to see if you're still talking about something that is still being talked about.

ReplyDeleteGood aftermorning, everyone!
ReplyDeleteHello, got room for an economist around here?
ReplyDeleteNow folks, ya'll must understand there's two sides to this story.
ReplyDeleteThere's what really happened, and then there's the translation (according to Maureen Dowd, mouthpiece for the race-baiters):
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!

Hey 3wood your in site will be fantastic.
ReplyDelete3 wood! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I do believe we do.
/Here, have my chair :)
Hi Erik, Callahan, Zigzagging, LoL and Realwest!
ReplyDeleteGet this, now some economists are talking about not using GDP to measure well being anymore (basically cause the numbers don;t look so good).
ReplyDeleteAt Bloomberg you get this:
Stiglitz Urges End to GDP ‘Fetish’ in Favor of Broader Measures
Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize- winning economist, urged world leaders to drop an obsession with examining gross domestic product and focus more on broader measures of prosperity.
“GDP has increasingly become used as a measure of societal well-being and changes in the structure of the economy and our society have made it increasingly poor one,” Stiglitz said in an interview today in Paris.
GDP is a primary measurement of the standard of living. If GDP is going up faster than your population, you have an increasing standard of living, pure and simple. Right now, the numbers do not support the socialist drift world wide, so some want to change the measurement toll to match the spin.
That's just great. Add race into everything. That always works.
ReplyDeleteHe apologized to Emanuel, 'nuff said....move on.
ReplyDeleteHe was pissed. I'm pissed. Half the country is pissed. People have outbursts when they're pissed. They want to be heard by the assholes who are running this country...but their voices are falling on deaf ears.
A million people wanted to be heard in DC alone yesterday...do you think the Spender-in-Chief heard them? Hell no! He sent his minions out to condescend to them in print and over the airwaves.
Enough is enough...no more apologies!
In sports news, Brett Favre looks like he's about 60 years old out there.
ReplyDeleteThat's just great. Add race into everything. That always works.
ReplyDeleteThat card is getting tattered and old, and - like anything else used too often -- has about lost its impact. People have more important things to worry about.
Is he using a walker 3wood? I am watching the Jag game.
ReplyDelete...drop an obsession with examining gross domestic product and focus more on broader measures of prosperity.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what those are?
Here is some valid criticism of the Fed:
ReplyDeleteFed Failed to Curb Flawed Bank Lending, Inspector General Says
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=atgnqYrMSrtI
Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve examiners failed to rein in practices that led to losses from excessive real estate lending at two banks in California and Florida that later closed, the central bank’s inspector general said.
Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast in Cape Coral, Florida, “warranted more immediate supervisory attention” by the Atlanta district bank, Fed Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman said in a report to the central bank’s board. In overseeing County Bank in Merced, California, the San Francisco Fed should have taken a “more aggressive supervisory” approach, Coleman said in another report, also dated Sept. 9.
The findings follow criticism by lawmakers including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, who say the Fed failed to curtail flawed underwriting and other lending abuses that contributed to the collapse of the housing market. Another report by the Fed’s inspector general in June faulted the Atlanta Fed’s oversight of First Georgia Community Bank.
Congress is reviewing a U.S. Treasury proposal to give the Fed more power by making it the supervisor for large and interconnected firms that may damage the U.S. financial system in the event of failure. The Treasury plan is part of an effort to overhaul U.S. financial regulation.
“The Fed does not come out smelling like a rose,” said Gilbert Schwartz, former associate general counsel of the Fed board and now a partner at law firm Schwartz & Ballen LLP in Washington. “There are things that could have been done better.”
I think this is legit criticism, but they still should not be put under onerous audit pressure by Congress. Leave the Fed alone.
Is he using a walker 3wood?
ReplyDeleteOh, you're baaad, Erik!
"drop an obsession with examining gross domestic product and focus more on broader measures of prosperity.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what those are?"
Yes, the participation of government spending should be emphsized and the environmental sustainability taken into consideration.
In other words, the more government spending and the more tree hugger stuff, the better.
"Is he using a walker 3wood? I am watching the Jag game."
ReplyDeleteHe has an incredible running game and he's still trying to throw, badly.
Speaking of which, I'm going to go watch the game,
ReplyDeleteLater.
*sigh*
ReplyDeleteIf you say so, 3 wood.
/I've no doubt Van Jones is behind the scenes somewhere
Later, 3 wood. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDelete3 wood! YAY! :-) :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, instead of the GDP, we'll be using The Mattress Factor to gauge the health of the economy. As in...
"And in business news...The U.S. switched to the Mattress Factor as a leading indicator of economic stability. This was made possible by new questions added to the U.S. Census, including, 'How many mattresses are in this home?' and 'How much of your money is stored in them?'. Using actuarial tables, the government is then able to estimate the value of personal assets, as well as collect estate taxes based upon the number of mattresses that are passed on to heirs.
In other news...chiropractors are reporting a 45% increase in business across the board, with most patients complaining of lower back pain..."
Slow typer.

It was worth the wait, Littleoldlady!
ReplyDeleteI missed 3 wood. :-(

Just received in an email...
ReplyDeleteDear Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the heartbreaking news that Asaf Ramon, the 21 year old son of Ilan Ramon, Z"l ,Israel's first astronaut, was killed when his plane
crashed during routine exercises for the Israeli airforce.
Our hearts go out to his mother and siblings. We send them our deepest condolences.

May his family be comforted among the mourners of Jerusalem and Israel.
In sports news, Brett Favre looks like he's about 60 years old out there.
ReplyDeleteSeptember 13, 2009 11:30 AM
Why, hello, 3wood!
Favre's birthday is in October, as I recall. Turning 40, isn't he?
I've heard them say, "Sixty is the new forty," but in his case, it looks like forty is the new sixty.
Do I sound bitter? : ) /packerfan
It broke my heart to hear about the death of Asaf Ramon.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers going out to his family and friends.
Good afternoon, PBJ.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Pink. How's everything going?
ReplyDeleteA dark and rainy Sunday, PBJ. Catching up on the world.
ReplyDeleteI see Tina Fey won an Emmy for her portrayal of Palin, and Teh Won will be on 60 minutes tonight.
/what not to watch
In the sidebar right now (the feed from HotAir): CNN to Gibbs: Does Obama think tea partiers are racist?
ReplyDeleteOh please, please, please go there liberals.
If you think people are angry now, just watch when you call that many everyday, average American people "racists", simply for rejecting the creeping hand of socialism.
This administration, to date, has shocked me with their tone-deaf liberal world view.
Pink..
ReplyDeleteWhat not to watch, indeed.
How about the death of this Blagojevich associate. Kind of interesting. Suicide by asprin?
http://www.suntimes.com/1767469,christopher-kelly-blagojevich-dead-091209.article
Oh please, please, please go there liberals.
ReplyDeleteThey can't help themselves. They'll go there. And then they'll wonder why thier agenda becomes a smoking crater next election.
Think Obama's got trouble getting his stuff through congress now?
Suicide by asprin?
ReplyDeleteGotta love Chicago politics. Too bad we can't have that type of corruption and cronyism on the nationa... oh. Wait. Never mind. ;)
I was wondering about that suicide by aspirin too when I read 'salicylic acid'. Weird.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteKelly may be dead and a convicted felon but I'll bet he continues to vote. ;-)
Iffy stuff happening at the protests. Some of the pics are disgusting, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteThings are just so frustrating--- on both sides.
Some of the pics are disgusting
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, Tark, but we have to acknowledge that we are a very diverse people. This is true tolerance, IMO, and where the first amendment shines.
Acknowledging the dark nature of the few bad that have always been mixed in among the good and the righteous is part of the mix. It's not necessarily an indicator of alignment ....although it's the only card the left has to play right now to discredit these gatherings and their attendees.
I say it's propaganda and it won't work. See it for what it is.
In other news: A demonstration today commemorating the anti-Semitic International Quds Day saw a counter demonstration.
ReplyDeleteThe counter demonstrators were being forbidden by the police to use Hebrew and have anything Hebrew written with them. German blog-entry auto-translated via Google.
This happened of course in a country … none other than … --> Germany
I think the WH is scared silly over the tea party and town hall movements. I watched several videos of the tea party march and what I saw were typical American families there with their kids. Lots of signs, some over-the-top and some inappropriate, but many were just typical "I love America!" or "I'm not astroturf!" and such.
ReplyDeleteAlso saw LOTS of American flags. The left, the msm, and some blogs have chosen to focus only on the absurd, the kooks and the fringe in order to marginalize and discredit this movement. This movement is about Americans not wanting the government in their health care or in their wallets. Amen to both!

"The counter demonstrators were being forbidden by the police to use Hebrew and have anything Hebrew written with them."
ReplyDeleteOh my, Callahan. How frightening ...thanks for posting that translated account.
Bad times ahead.
When I see vile, hateful protest signs coming from the left or right, I cringe - but my deeply planted instinct as an American citizen is to say to myself, "That is America. That is protected speech."
ReplyDeleteWhatever I think of the sentiment expressed, the overriding feeling I have is that this country wouldn't be what it is without the right to be utterly offensive, as many leftists, especially, are to me. As much as I hate their message at times, I want to protect their right to express disagreement with government.
There is simply no way to keep bad people away from a public protest without endangering that right.
So, we live with it. It's ugly sometimes, but the alternative is potentially even uglier, I think.
P.S. Freedom in disagreement and a level playing field will be the lifeblood of C2. If you disagree with "Correspondence Committee", please have at it. You risk nothing by speaking your mind here, as long as you follow the guidelines above the posting field.
I concur, Dee. They've wakened the sleeping giant/the ghosts of our forefathers.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful thing to see.
The move to discredit the many with the sleaze of the few just won't work, despite the enormity of the liberal propaganda machine that has cranked up.
"So, we live with it. It's ugly sometimes, but the alternative is potentially even uglier, I think."
ReplyDeleteEd Zachary.
Oh my, Callahan. How frightening ...thanks for posting that translated account.
ReplyDeleteBad times ahead.
Indeed bad times ahead, which is why I posted my outcry "I need to get aauut !"
Coupled with the fact that I have very little people here who are able to participate in a political discussion without resorting to BDS, conspiracy theories, anti-Americanism, anti-Zionism (the new anti-Semitism) and a general lack of knowledge about human nature, scientific facts and economic realities.
It is really pathetic and a daily nightmare, I tells 'ya.
This happened of course in a country … none other than … --> Germany

Afternoon, ellybelly! :D

Chilling and outright scary, yes indeed so much so that I am currently playing the green-card lottery.
Just a heads up:
ReplyDeleteWe'll be putting up a front page article a bit later on the DC tea party and the "attendance controversy".
Also, we're in the process of gathering any photos or accounts from anyone who attended (or knows someone who attended). If any of you would like to contribute, please email me.
Thanks, Miss Trixie. Is it starting to feel like autumn up there yet?
ReplyDelete"Chilling and outright scary, yes indeed so much so that I am currently playing the green-card lottery."

Whoa! Saskatchewan's Roughriders are pounding Winnepeg's Blue Bombers 42-7.
ReplyDeleteEarly in the 4th quarter. Woot!

re: PBJ I can certainly understand. How long do you think it will take?
ReplyDeleteIt'll probably take at least until May. There is a one in twenty chance of winning. Oh, I so wish.
But that is cool as I got lots of personal stuff yet to sort out. Divorce (amicable) and separating all that clutter of 18 yrs.

ReplyDeleteHello & Congratulations on your most excellent bloggage!
ReplyDeleterealwest: I agree with you, the comment was out of line (however true it may be). There is a time & place for it, but it's not duing the speech.
An aside: the British Parliamentary tradition bans "unparliamentary" speech, which includes directly calling somebody a liar. The preferred elocution is usually something like... "the honorable member misspoke the facts."

ReplyDeleteBTW, I have no idea how I watched football before THE PLASMA.
Amazing.
SoS ... this part cracked me up ... thought he was not going to have any lobbyist ... but I guess the super special ones are okay ...
ReplyDelete"In each of those cases the White House claimed that “reasonable exceptions” were issued to the ethics rules in the public’s interest because the candidates had unequalled qualifications. The same compelling public interest argument was conveniently applied to exempt the latest batch of lobbyists. "
The most ethical administration in history!!!!!! (with waivers)
ReplyDeleteKENNETH! Darls! *hug*
ReplyDeleteIt's like old home week and I'm liking it a lot.
Before I log-off for the night as I'm just good and sleepy *yawwwwwwwwn* after a real nice baked lasagne dinner with salad and a very garlicky toasted baguette, I'll leave you with this. Contrary to what the *spit* MSM *spit* would have you *snark* racists *snark* to be believe, there IS hope - and lots of it. :D

ReplyDeleteNew thread up, if anyone is interested, with some comparisons between the inauguration last Jan. and yesterday's march in D.C.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I am so in trouble. I just broke the coffee mug my youngest made for her Nana. It was her birthday today and #2 made this mug and "gave" it to Nana this morning over Skype.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sasquatch. I haven't been keeping up with this like I should. From you rlink:
ReplyDelete"Further ridiculing his laughable ethics rules, Barack Obama has issued 10 additional waivers to hire lobbyists in violation of an executive order he proudly signed upon taking office.
The president’s latest ethics waivers give his administration a total of 16 prominent industry lobbyists who either work as White House officials or in high-ranking positions at federal agencies despite his stern campaign promise that lobbyists “won’t find a job in my White House” and highly touted order order banning them from his administration."
Weet dreams, Miss Trixie.
ReplyDeleteZ,
ReplyDeleteI know. You can't make this crap up.
What a joke.
I'd laugh if he wasn't so damn predictable.
