PoliticsUSA: Immigration: Why Rep. Joe Wilson shouted out at Obama Speech

I suggest a political understanding of Joe Wilson's shout-out during President Obama's special speech to a Joint Session of the US Congress (House of Reps and Senate together, plus of course the Cabinet and the Czars). An understanding of Joe's shout-out which credits the concept of political frustration as something of a ground, which was explicitly irritated in Joe's psyche when the Prez made apparently false claims regarding healthcare-framework ideas in regard to automatic free healthcare for illegal aliens.

Now, I tend to think (speculate) Joe coudnt bear to sit there and have his visage telecast back to his South Carolina 2nd district's constituency, and not speak up on the issue that heats them up more than any--namely, illegal immigration. So, when the Prez soared into television-rhetorical niceties (to his mind) on healthcare and who was going to be helped (and who not); he put Joe on the spot in regard to a House District in SC where his watching constituents largely do not want to pay anything for illegal aliens and/or undocumented workers receiving healthcare at the expense of homegrown Americans, legal residents and documented workers.

The Prez, instantly putting Joe on the spot, misrepresented the plans for healthcare in both Houses, and simply asserted in the speech of ownership (of his own healthcare plan), thus making now a distinct Obama plan alongside all the others -- and insulting people who dont want free-flow illegal entrants, and up until that moment had been getting figures from the government of 47 million without care, including 12 million illegal immigrants. Either Joe did not quite hear Obama's shift to 30 legitmate million Americans are without care, excluding illegals and undocumenteds -- either Joe did not hear the shift of figures by which the Prez excluded these at least 12 million illegals, when they previously were in the single-payer healthcare plan/s that just went belly up; or Joe did not believe the Prez's claim.

So, there was the President calling out lies, lies, lies to all the critics in order to blunt their critiques with no one able top speak back, labelling as "lies" every criticism of the illformed-plan/s, while one constituency's Rep Joe Wilson spoke out "You lie!" -- directly communicating to his home district that he coud not in good conscience sit meekly by, while Obama beat on these opponents of the healthcare plans' planned entitlement of illegal aliens, raising the costs of healthcare to citizens, legals and documenteds.

I doubt Joe planned his "outburst," but it must have come from the pressure of the situation where he was splashed with Obama's insulting intemperance, the telecasting, and his own constituency. Immediately after, Joe had to get his head together; in the morning he did what must be done, apologize. But I doubt he has regret. He was involved in a political trade-off: keep quiet or seize the moment.

As the dust settled, Representative Joe Wilson won the day not only with his home constitutency but also nationally. He made an apology but refused to prostrate himself before Fancy Nancy the Trigger and her minions.

Obama-supporter, Wilson-attacking reporter Brian Montopoli in "Wilson explosion a boon to challenger" (CBS News, Sept 10,2k9) incorrectly claims the Prez's "proposed healthcare reform woud not extend to illegal aliens." Montopoli actually interjects his own perception and judgment " -- which is essentially true -- ." This questionable interjection arouses the suspicion that in some respect it is quite untrue, but of course nonessentially.

After President Obama said last night that his proposed healthcare reforms would not extend to illegal aliens – which is essentially true – Wilson shouted out "you lie!," prompting shocked responses from other lawmakers. Wilson later apologized amid condemnation from some colleagues.

I suggest that Wilson was correct in there being some lack of veracity in Obama's lawyerlike sl+t of hand and stretch of condors' wings, flailing at those he cast enemies of healthcare.

What colors my thinking here is the fact that the very next day, the Census Bureau made public figures revised up to near the 47 millions level, not including illegals. So, if illegals are included on top of the new official figure, the arithmetic is say 45 millions + 12 million illegals and undocumenteds. Now, I've never yet seen online the augmented 57 total number of new people going onto govt-supported healthcare, apparently. If I'm incorrect please help me with better stats (accompanied by URLs for documentation). Thanks to anyone who helps my math gain greater clarity and accuracy! as I continue my reflection.

Why then did Obama in his speech reduce the number of those without healthcare insurance to 30 million?

And then, finally on my line of thawt, does the following add to the case for Joe's intervention, proving that his statement during the Joint Session was not false? -- however uncivil it may have been. David Smith, "Obama: Legalize illegals to offer them healthcare" (Sept 18,2k9, Dallas County Republican Examiner

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were on hand Wednesday, September 16th for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's awards dinner honoring Marc Anthony. The President spoke on health care and illegal immigration, stating that no illegals would be covered under pending legislation. However, he also stated that the country's immigration system was broken and that we should work to fix the system in order to provide health care for those here legally.

In other words, amnesty for illegals, health care for legals, and the Democrats get to fulfill all promises and the media largely skirts the matter and the President's promises largely go unreported. Has anyone else seen the following on major media, television news or even FOX for that matter?
