Let's Get Back to Business Congress!

From Tranquilla II on The Back of Eddy Creek on Lake Barkley ---

Congressman Joe Wilson apologized personally to President Barrack Obama through a telephone call for having referred to the POTUS as a “liar” during his speech the other evening.

Good for Wilson and good for the President for taking the call and accepting the apology. After all we don’t live in England where such rambunctious behavior is actually tolerated and even encouraged. Although I for one wish we did have this system to hold all the pols accountable daily.

Then the Democrats yesterday decide to not only rebuke Wilson but they also lay out specific restrictions on language that can’t be used on the floor of the House including the infamous restriction that you can’t refer to any “sexual misconduct” on part of the President nor can you call him a “hypocrite” or “intellectually dishonest”. Too bad, President Bill Clinton didn’t have such provisions when he was office. I find it odd though that the party that says it is “for the people” want to legislate against the First Amendment. Don’t you?

It’s time Congress to get over it on both sides. The behavior was inappropriate on Wilson’s part. He apologized. POTUS accepted.

What the Dems don’t understand is their rebuke will only harden the situation more and Wilson will actually benefit in the long run. This you can take to the bank.

It’s time to move on and get back to the health care debate and other truly pressing matters such as the fraud and criminality of ACORN; however, I suspect the Congress, the administration and the POTUS would prefer not to have to deal with these real issues.
