From The Hill:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has agreed the House should vote next week on scolding Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for his outburst during President Barack Obama’s speech unless he apologies on the floor of the House.

“There was a violation of the rules of the House,” said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly. “It needs to be resolved by an apology or a resolution.”

A Democrat, likely House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), will introduce a “resolution of disapproval” Monday or Tuesday unless Wilson formally apologizes on the House floor. The House returns Monday.

Good. Bring. It. On.

Wilson should go to the floor with a television set, and play the video of the Dem caucus booing Bush during the State Of The Union address in 2005. This should be followed by his reading the Associated Press fact check of Obama’s speech to the Joint Session. The story is evidence that Obama is fact challenged. Pelosi has all but called the Tea Party liars, and Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have consistently talked about stopping the spread of lies about the healthcare bill. In order for their to be lies, there must be liars, so with their accusations, the three stooges just called a majority of Americans liars.

Wilson should bring the bill to the floor and begin to read it, challenging Nancy, Reid, and Pelosi to expose the lies they keep harping about. Every Senate and House member who participated in this slandering of the American public should be named. The public should be reminded that Senator Harry Reid called Bush a loser. Wilson should then state that he will apologize when Obama, Reid, Pelosi, every Democrat still seated today who booed Bush in 2005, and every member of the Senate and House who basically called us liars apologizes. Let’s go on the record here. Stand up Rep. Wilson and give us a show. We want to see Nanny State Nancy go slinking back into her corner and shut her pie hole.

Let’s see who steps up and who looks stupid.

The “Section 246 Proves Joe Wilson Is A Liar” Lie. Oh yeah Joe, bring this one up to. Even Nancy’s botox treatments won’t hold up after this onslaught.

Your BlackBerry Is Un-American!

Damn These Weak-Kneed Republicans

Senate to close ObamaCare loophole for illegal immigrants that media claims doesn’t exist. You don’t say! So Obama is a liar and the spineless Republican twits in the House won’t even back him up. Excuse my French, but screw the bunch of you.

Well, I certainly find myself more bemused every day that passes. Another “through the looking glass moment”, the New York Times joins the AP in fact checking Supreme Leader Barkus Obama’s truth challenged press conference. Talk about piling on.

If I were a Democrat and not part of the left nutroots, I would pay very close attention to what is happening with health care legislation. The losers in the current debate include not only you, but, if applicable, your children, grandchildren, parents, and grandparents. Think of your parents being punished and pushed aside like so much trash just for being old. If that does not make you mad, I don’t know what will. The previous story all but admits that rationing is the goal of the liberal agenda.

These fact checks, from liberal sources, serve as the wake up call to anyone thoughtful and deliberative. It is time to put aside ideological alliances and not just rubber stamp the congress. It is time for you think for yourself. If this plan were so good, why does the federal legislature not participate in it? Why is Obama not telling the truth to the American people, as apparent in the New York Times and AP fact checks? What is he hiding? What is his real agenda? These are questions you should be asking.

From the NTY story, first we have the obligatory liberal bowing to the Fearless Leader:

President Obama showed great fluency in the intricate details of health policy at his news conference on Wednesday night, but experts said some of his points were debatable.

Now to the meat:

Mr. Obama said doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies and AARP had supported efforts to overhaul health care.

While it is true the American Medical Association has endorsed a bill drafted by House Democratic leaders, a half-dozen state medical societies have sharply criticized provisions that would establish a new government-run health insurance plan.

Likewise, Mr. Obama said Medicare could save large amounts of money by creating “an independent group of doctors and medical experts who are empowered to eliminate waste and inefficiency” and hold down the annual increases in payments to health care providers.

Far from supporting this proposal, the American Hospital Association is urging hospital executives to lobby against it.

Of the proposed new cost-control agency, Mr. Obama said: “It’s not going to reduce Medicare benefits. What it’s going to do is to change how those benefits are delivered so that they’re more efficient.”

Hospitals say the cuts could indeed cut services in some rural areas and from teaching hospitals, which receive extra payments because of higher costs.

In seeking to portray health legislation as bipartisan, Mr. Obama said that 160 Republican amendments were adopted in a bill approved last week by the Senate health committee. Republicans said many of the amendments involved technical provisions and did not alter the fundamental features of the bill.

The president said that health insurance companies were making “record profits.” America’s Health Insurance Plans, the main lobby for insurers, contends that “for every $1 spent on health care in America, approximately one penny goes to health plans’ profits.”

Mr. Obama said he was not proposing to ration care, but just wanted to coordinate it better. For example, he said, he wants to eliminate repetitious tests ordered by different doctors for the same patient.

Electronic medical records and health information technology, championed by Mr. Obama, could reduce such duplication. But, under his plan, it is not clear who would take responsibility for patients and coordinate care in traditional fee-for-service medicine.

The president continued to take credit for deficit reduction by making a claim that has been challenged by many experts.

“If we had done nothing, if you had the same old budget as opposed to the changes we made,” the deficit over the next 10 years would be $2.2 trillion greater, the president said.

In fact, $1.5 trillion of those “savings” are mainly based on an assumption that the United States would have had as many troops in Iraq in 10 years as it did when Mr. Obama took office. But before leaving office, President George W. Bush signed an agreement with Baghdad mandating the withdrawal of all American forces within three years.

So Mr. Obama is claiming credit for not spending money that, under the policy he inherited from Mr. Bush, would never have been spent in the first place.

Ouch. Two liberal media outlets just ripped BO a new orifice. If this were a boxing match, it’s a one-two punch that’s got Obama heading towards the floor.

The LA Times also chimes in:

During much of the hourlong news conference, Obama relied on jargon that Washington insiders embrace but that might leave the typical television viewer mystified. Discussing government spending, he mentioned “the supplemental” — referring to a war-funding bill. He used the word “incentivize” several times.

The purpose of Obama’s appearance was to regain momentum for proposals to make major changes to the healthcare system, one of his top domestic priorities.

Even fellow Democrats now say that the deadline Obama set for the House and Senate to pass a bill before their August recess is unrealistic.

Still waiting for the CNN Political Ticker to report on something substantial. All they have right now is Oops! Obama calls out reporter for asking out of turn.

Wow, now that’s coverage. How about joining in the NYT and AP in some actual journalism? Wait, did I just say that?

Now comes the obligatory puff piece from the CNN ticker that completely ignores the fact of Obama’s lies during the press conference. Journalism all but dead at the Comrade News Network. CNN, can you say credibility? Bet you can’t. Democrats intensify drive for health care reform.

What a difference a day and a question make. Michelle Malkin: White House flip-flop: Ok, ok, we’ll tell you which health execs we met.

And how’s this for transparency? Democrats Block GOP Health Care Mailing

Democrats are preventing Republican House Members from sending their constituents a mailing that is critical of the majority’s health care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate.

House Republicans are crying foul and claiming that the Democrats are using their majority to prevent GOP Members from communicating with their constituents.

The dispute centers on a chart created by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Republican staff of the Joint Economic Committee to illustrate the organization of the Democratic health care plan.

At first glance, Brady’s chart resembles a board game: a colorful collection of shapes and images with a web of lines connecting them.

But a closer look at the image reveals a complicated menagerie of government offices and programs that Republicans say will be created if the leading Democratic health care plan becomes law.

In a memo sent Monday to Republicans on the House franking commission, Democrats argue that sending the chart to constituents as official mail would violate House rules because the information is misleading.

Best line of the day:

Hiding the truth about wildly unpopular policies is a Democrat specialty,” said one GOP aide. “I’d like to see the flow chart on how Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi plans on implementing the open and transparent government she keeps promising everyone.

I guess the truth hurts. Pain pill, anyone?

BREAKING: From The Hill – Pelosi backs off insistence on recess health deadline

Karl over at Patterico on the Obama’s craptastic presser.

You heard me right, the AP is fact checking Obama, and it ain’t pretty. Feeling like Alice through the looking glass? Read the whole thing. Also check out New York Times Joins AP In Fact Checking Obama. It just keeps getting better and better.

President Barack Obama’s assertion Wednesday that government will stay out of health care decisions in an overhauled system is hard to square with the proposals coming out of Congress and with his own rhetoric.

Even now, nearly half the costs of health care in the U.S. are paid for by government at all levels. Federal authority would only grow under any proposal in play.

A look at some of Obama’s claims in his prime-time news conference:

OBAMA: “We already have rough agreement” on some aspects of what a health care overhaul should involve, and one is: “It will keep government out of health care decisions, giving you the option to keep your insurance if you’re happy with it.”

THE FACTS: In House legislation, a commission appointed by the government would determine what is and isn’t covered by insurance plans offered in a new purchasing pool, including a plan sponsored by the government. The bill also holds out the possibility that, over time, those standards could be imposed on all private insurance plans, not just the ones in the pool.

Indeed, Obama went on to lay out other principles of reform that plainly show the government making key decisions in health care. He said insurance companies would be barred from dropping coverage when someone gets too sick, limits would be set on out-of-pocket expenses, and preventive care such as checkups and mammograms would be covered.

It’s true that people would not be forced to give up a private plan and go with a public one. The question is whether all of those private plans would still be in place if the government entered the marketplace in a bigger way.

He addressed some of the nuances under questioning. “Can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health care delivery system?” he said. “No. The whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier.”

He acknowledged then that the “government already is making some of these decisions.”
