Oh, The Good Old Days

Seven years ago, South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson was listening to president Obama speak to a joint session of Congress.  Obama was speaking about his healthcare bill, Obamacare.  When Obama said that no illegal aliens would get coverage under the Obamacare bill, Wilson shouted, "you lie."  Of course, it turns out that many illegal aliens do get coverage under Obamacare, many through Medicaid and some through other means.  Nevertheless, Wilson was condemned far and wide for being so disrespectful to the president.  The media went berserk over Wilson's behavior.

I think of that moment often as I listen to some of the empty heads in Congress like Maxine Waters, Ted Lieu and Frederica Wilson and what they have to say about President Trump.  They have certainly accused Trump of telling lies, but they have also accused the President of nearly every crime imaginable.  And it's not just the idiots I listed above.  Democrat leaders like Pelosi and Schumer have said the most inflammatory and outrageous things about the President.

It's disgusting that all that it took for the media opinion of proper respect for the president of the United States to change drastically was a switch in party.
