I’m not sure how you can say Obama has “desecrated” the office. I mean, you can say you disagree with him, that he’s taking the country in the wrong direction, but desecrating?

I think you could argue that both Clinton and Bush desecrated the office, but I just don’t see that with Obama.

While I do agree that Obama has in many ways desecrated the office of The President, I still not believe a formal meeting in the House is the right place to be unruly. The time would have been in the Republican response that followed.

I think you said it – Joe Wilson is a “duly elected public representative.”

And while some may find it revolting or vile, Mr. Wilson was representing his constituents by not allowing them to be lied to on a Public Forum.

There has been much recent talk of the Office of the President and how Holy it Though. We must re-think this and review the founding fathers interpretation of the title. Some early Presidents didn’t want the office for the simple fact it was a title that separated We The People.

While respect is due to another man, the apparent double standards still remain – it is not disrespectful for an Elected Official to stand in front of us and Lie, blatantly and multiple times? Did he not desecrate the office with his actions?

I think emotions are running high on both sides. We held a protest throughout the enite speech. We had Obama lovers come and park their cars right next to us so we could hear the speech. We didn’t want to hear it, that’s why we were protesting. At the end of the protest he apologied and said he was wrong. As much as I don’t want to say this…I will. Congressman Wilson, you need to apologize.
