In the midst of the whole fiasco surrounding Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst, I think it's important to point out that Mr Wilson wasn't the only one to explicitly call someone a liar that night. In reference to the so called 'death panels' President Obama said;
"The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple."
We all know who he is referring to when he says prominent politicians. Now, I am no fan of Sarah Palin but if Barack Obama can use a speech to a joint session of congress to call her a liar, the outrage over Joe Wilson's remarks seem a bit superfluous.
