Screw him for apologizing.
Better to ask for forgiveness then permission.
This is guerilla tactics and it works.
Nobody jump on him for apologizing. The message was sent to the nation. The President is LYING.
Interesting how quick that acceptance was... sort of like sweeping the actual accusation under the rug where it won’t see the light of day...
Normal people apologize and are still trashed by the left. Don’t bother apologizing - they will still hate you.
Liberals don’t have to apologize. They get a free pass. (Nancy Pelosi and the lie about the CIA)
To borrow a presidential interruption by the Democrats, “Boo!!!!! Boooooo!!!!!!!”.
has obama apologized yet, he accused others of lying too
What!!!! No beer and peanuts!!!
Where is the Obama apology?
Hey Obama..YOUR A COMMUNIST PIG and a LIAR..There, I said it..and I WON’T APOLOGIZE EITHER..You wanna make me apologize, I wanna see you try
On the other hand, all Obama was doing in his speech was calling others liars and bad people.
was the apology engraved on Wilson’s gonads and delivered in a silver-threaded pouch by special messenger?
SO MUCH FOR HAVING CAJONES! The first Repiublican to stand-up to ‘ZERO” and he backs down like a whipped dog! Are there NO REAL MEN in the Republican Party anymore? SAD, SAD STATE when the party’s women like Bachmann and Palin have more Testosterone than the men! Maybe these RINO’s are like Caster Semenya? ;-)
Joe Wilson did more good with two short words than he could’ve possibly anticipated!
He apologized for decorum reasons, not for sentiment.
“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.”
Benjamin Disraeli
He was also criticized for saying, “Half the House members are idiots.” (paraphrasing)
Advised to apologize he obliged by saying, “Half the house are not idiots.”
Sorry. Facts don't make it past the soundbyte barrier.
He should have apologized using the same non-apology words they use. Like “I’m sorry if anyone was offended by my calling this unqualified inexperienced radical socialist predender to the Presidency a liar”.
