Does it seem odd to anybody else that just at the right moment when (R) Rep. Joe Wilson yelled the words, "You lie", a camera person has got his or her sights on Wilson last night during the Presidents health care reform speech?
I don't know the way things are set up over there but I find it hard to believe that each and every representative, senator and cabinet member has a camera pointed in their direction through out the whole one hour speech. Yet somebody (AFP) was able to catch Rep. Wilson yelling those words out.
Guess what the story was about all day yesterday and again today? Rep. Joe Wilson's words and apology to President Obama and his reasoning for blurting out those words last night ---not--- about Obama's speech and his health care plans.
It sort of reminds me of the last press conference Obama had when the reporter from Chicago asked him a question about the white cop arresting his black professor friend. The press conference was null and void afterwords because the media did it's usual thing and went for the 'scandal type' story instead.
Call it one of my conspiracy evenings but I wonder if Rep. Wilson wasn't 'planted' or 'asked' to yell this comment last night. We all know Congress gets to read the president's speech before he makes it, at least the leadership does, because they have to produce a rebuttal for the Republican side afterward. What if they remembered how the last press conference was ruined by the Chicago reporter's question and Obama's answer and decided, hey, we should create a distraction tonight as well.
With this bunch of Republicans, anything is possible.
I apologize for this short diary, just had to ask this question.
