And perhaps I, or Barack Obama, agree. But that's not what Barack Obama said. He made a commitment that we -would- keep the illegals out of the system! And if he was referring to any proposal so far, he was lying.

That said, the Senate Finance Committee seems to be looking into this now.

LOL! "Love me, Daddy!" ;-)

So the reaction by the right was EXACTLY as I said, he's a hero, like I said, and all your super-smug, how-could-you-be-so-totally-stupid-as-to-not-agree-with-my-wrong-ass-guessing didn't work out too well.

Yup, last night was not the way to do it, but personally, I think the whole merger of Head of Government and Head of State in the Presidency is a serious weakness. Far better to have him come to Congress AS Head of Government, argue his case, and take his heckling. Better than that, should be a way he can come in and debate. He'd have to rally those pathetic Blue Dogs daily.

When he wants to be Head of State, let him put a special hat on. Maybe one with a twirly thing. And he should always be preceeded by people blowing kazoos.

As you van probably guess, I'm not much on the tradition and authority thing. But if you GOTTA have 'em, I'm happy to support twirly hats and kazoos.

Really? This is the first day I became aware of your existence. I'll have to review.

But I hope your cry for help went well today.

Yeah, but they want the discussion to be the way they want it to be, I've already been lectured by DanK over and over again.

The Brits can speak English in the correct manner, virtually all of what you see in PM Questions is allowable debate in our system. The problem lies with the fact that few of our Congresspeople have anything close to a command of the English language.

They only do that during

They only do that during question time and as noted By others, the PM is a member of Parliament and only the head of government, not the head of state. They don't heckle the Queen when she gives the Speech From the Throne.

In the military, they say "salute the uniform, not the man." They're saying that these seemingly silly bits of ceremonial etiquette are part of the glue that hold institutions together from one generation to the next. And they're saying that conforming to these standards is a way of showing and reinforcing our common fealty and fidelity to things that are bigger than individuals and the passions of the moment.

Those are precisely the things the GOP has lost these last 15 years.

Joe Wilson is perfectly free

Joe Wilson is perfectly free to disagree with the President's opinion as to whether the bill as proposed would accrue benefits to illegal aliens.

Just because Wilson disagrees with the President does not make the President a liar. And it certainly does not give him the right to use such a shocking breach of protocol to get his little 15 minutes of fame.

At least some of the

At least some of the so-called "safeguards" that were put into the Medicare to keep illegals out of the system have been dropped because they did more harm than good.
