Joe Wilson vs. SOTU

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 27, 2010 11:37 AM

South Carolina GOP Rep. Joe Wilson will bring his truth-telling to Facebook tonight. He’s going to respond to President Obama’s State of the Union Address online via video:

Joe Wilson will be giving the first-ever live video response to a Presidential State of the Union address on Facebook.

He will give his reaction to President Obama’s speech and call on Congress and the President to stop their government-take over of health care and instead focus their attention on job creation by reducing taxes and limiting spending.

Wilson called Barack Obama a liar during the president’s last speech before Congress, but says he’ll be on his best behavior for Wednesday’s address.

Wilson will then take questions submitted online though his Facebook page.

Go tell ‘em, Joe.

    He’s been trying to create jobs.
    He’s creating government healthcare jobs!

    I’m not sure if the “official” response is about male external genitalia OR positioning for future political office potential. Joe Wilson is not very likely to move into a national type race. However McDonnell does have a shot at a bigger platform.

    Its strategic more so than ballsy.

    My humble opinion.

    Speaking of lying one has to wonder how much longer Gibbs is going to be able to keep whoring his own integrity. At some point one would think the long term damage he is doing to his reputation and future career is going to be a bigger issue to him then continuing to lie in the short term for Obama. I don’t know how he even gets the words out, some times he doesn’t, without gagging.

    Summation: Obama is a self absorbed liar who can’t keep his stories straight but thinks Americans are stupid enough to believe his untruths. In short. You lie!

    I completely agree nlebou! Uproarious laughter at appropriate moments would make the SOTU much more fun! And it would be the most effective response whenever the truth is stretched!

    The old cliche, “How do you know when [Barack Hussein Obama, POTUS,] is lying? Answer: His lips are moving!

    That has become a truism.

    Joe Wilson’s response to SOTU …

    “Good evening, my fellow Americans. I am Joe Wilson. I am responding to President Barack Hussein Obama’s State of the Union Address.

    I won’t take much of your time, for this response can be summed up in two words.

    Here is my response:

    President Obama, YOU LIE!!!!

    Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

    spaceycakes,

    That is essentially what President Barack Hussein Obama has commanded in so many words repeatedly, as is evidenced by video clip captures of those statements.

    If you disagree with him, then shut up and get out of the way so he can mop up your mess.

    Thank you, Mister President, for your respectful, kind hearted, up lifting words to the citizens of the United States of America.

    Now, O Mister President Barack Hussein Obama, please whip me more, whip me harder … ooooohhh baby …. ooooo baby …. you do it soooooo gooooodddd …

    Ooooooo YES YES YES Mister President, you hurt me sooooo goooooddd.

    Yes, we US citizens LOVE being abused and flogged by our elected president!!!!!

    Go get ‘em, Barack.

    Maybe you’ll not only be a one term president, you’ll not even be a “mediocre” president.

    Instead you’ll be history’s worst, most risible president!
