IMO, Joe Wilson pretty much had it covered last night.

Skeptical? Given the sheer amount of half-truths, outright lies, and partisan attacks Barry spewed, rightly so.

Skeptical?? Of a shameless, inveterate liar? Only skeptical?? That sounds like the republican party. Of course McCain believes everything that supreme patriot, Hussein, says!

I don’t remember him using the word “tort” anything. Maybe he should “recalibrate” that section of his speech.

Obama intends to work tort reform into the bill at all. ...............///.........OK, here I go again, 63% of congress are attorneys. The biggest supporters of the Dems are the trial attorneys. Tort reform??? Yeah, like term Limits, don’t hold your breath.

Do to attorneys what the attorneys did to cigarette companies. Slap a 33% tax on all attorneys fees. Use that money to fund conflict resolution programs and require all cases to go through a conflict resolution model before filing in court.

Skepticism is a direct outcome from a history of lying.

The dems can say anything they want. They can lie anytime and about anything they want. No one in the left media will call them on it. My only hope is the left media’s viewership is waning menaing msnbc and others are preaching to their choir.

He will “consider” it a bad idea for his trial lawyer supporters and reject it.

At that junction of his speech, I knew this whole event was a dog and pony show to give the SRM talking points

obama has managed to eclipse Bill Clinton as the least honest person to occupy our White House in history. Anyone who isn’t at least skeptical and preferably in complete disbelief when obama speaks is a moron.
