Barack Obama should have made a direct example of Joe Wilson.
Let's be honest: The healthcare bill is far from perfect. It has been so watered down that it will be a miracle if anything changes after it passes, if it manages to even do that. It is too expensive, and the government simply does not have the money. Maybe next time.
But why did Wilson say choose to respond to Obama's statement that illegal immigrants would not be covered under the current plan?
Obama should have stopped his speech, said, "Who said that?" He then should have called Wilson up on stage next to him, handed him the bill and said, "Prove I'm lying. Find the part where illegal immigrants are covered."
This would have shown that even a senator cannot just say whatever he feels like and spread confusion about an already perplexing bill.
There has to be evidence. You cannot just make claims about something without backing it up. Why do conservatives feel the need to fabricate problems with the bill? There are plenty of real problems to examine and dispute. Why did he lie if he did not have to?
The logic is very strange.
