“You Lie!” Rep. Says He Was Right All Along – Obamacare Does Cover Illegal Aliens
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, August 16, 2011, 5:13 AM
Remember this?
Barack Obama went in front of the American people and insisted that his health care plan would not fund abortion or cover illegal immigrants.
Not everyone believed the president. Rep. Joe Wilson screamed, “You lie!”
Now we know Joe Wilson was right – Obama did lie.
Obamacare does cover illegal aliens.
FOX News reported:
Nearly two years after he infamously accused President Obama of lying about his health care overhaul, Republican Rep. Joe Wilson claims he was right all along.
The South Carolina congressman was pilloried in 2009 for shouting “You lie!” at the president in the middle of a national address after Obama claimed the health care bill would not cover illegal immigrants.
But Wilson is claiming some vindication after the Health and Human Services Department awarded millions to “migrant and seasonal farm worker” health care — a spokeswoman in the department was cited last week saying patients would not be asked about immigration status and an department official confirmed Monday that the centers receiving the grant money must offer primary care to “all residents” in a given area.
Wilson, on his campaign website, declared the funding announcement proved him right. Though most farm workers are here legally, the Pew Hispanic Center estimates that about a quarter of them are undocumented.
“It is inevitable that they will serve illegal aliens,” Wilson said. “The president specifically promised the American people that ‘Obamacare’ would not cover those who are here illegally. He misled all of us.”

Anyone paying enough attention can see that Obama lies. The question is, will it be reported by the media?
Hobbitually conservative commented:

big L commented:
the illegals coming in now a re not checked as to health. We have to check these people or stop the flow. It is destroying the over all health of our country. I notice that the flow of legal immigrants 1890-1920 thru Ellis Island had checks as best they could during that time. But the authorities weree seeing a lot of ill people. so they sent them back at shipping line expense. Then the Ship lines had an interest in the health.
Now we have a flow of illegals and nothing is checked as to their health. and we aregoing to cover them for health care? We have no base line. This is a financial disaster.There is no way we can cover health costs for the entire world.
NeoKong commented:
Health care for illegals….wasn’t that the whole point….?
Who exactly were those 30 million people using the emergency room as primary care?
Ask them in Texas.
They know the answer.
jony101 commented:
health check not required of anyone, they even let scum with AID’s immigrate here legally. People who are sick immigrate here for one reason to get free medical and straight into the disability monthly check. They also vote democrat.
mg4us commented:
Of course he lied. .still does. . it is called Taqiyya. . .
And when he says “not Obamacare but Obama cares” he means:
Obama cares about taking your money
Obama cares about his vacation
Obama cares about power
Obama cares about himself
None of the above are lies . . . it is just THE Narcissist-in-Thief!
Obama thinks he is the BIG CHEESE. . perhaps that is why all the RATs (DemocRATs) love him!!
Once a RAT always a RAT!
kansas commented:
Obama didn’t lie, he doesn’t know what’s in the bill.
Valerie commented:
The lie was intentional. It helped get the legislation passed. Obama knew the legislation would not pass if he admitted that it would cover illegal aliens.
We saw this in the presidential campaign, where Obama would be saying one thing, and his campaign would be training its workers to say another.
In other circles, it’s called “taqiyya” or “the big lie.” It is a technique that has no place in our representative democracy because it pollutes the decision-making process for the purpose of taking decisions away from the people.
uncivil & right commented:
Why pussyfoot around it, a safe bet pretty much everything coming from this guy is coated in thick B.S.
RedBeard commented:
“Some” vindication? I’d say Wilson has been completely vindicated. Of course, it’s not hard to defend the accusation of “You lie!” when everything coming out of Obama’s mouth is a lie.
saveus commented:
#11 is right
we are ruled by the liar in chief
Mark1957 commented:
We knew he lied before Joe Wilson’s remark. He lied about the cost going down, he lied when he said if you liked your plan you could keep it, and he lied that it wouldn’t cover illegal aliens. He lied about the stimulus bill creating jobs, he lies about Libya not being a war, lets face facts, if Obama’s lips are moving he is lying.

This is the progressive form of “Taqquiya”. Seems lying is fine as long as it fools people and furthers “the cause”.. Orwell is turning over in his grave.
Sam Stone commented:
How many here KNEW Wilson was correct the moment he said it?
And not just on illegal aliens getting benefits.
daryl commented:
I think he lied to Robert Gibbs too, or Gibbs is just as big a liar.
Wonder why he doesn’t just do us all a big favor and resign?

I find Pelosi’s reaction in this clip to be endlessly amusing. And I still would like to slap the snot out of her every time I see her, though I understand that I need to take a number and get into a very long line.
And @ #17 Sam Stone: You betcha I knew Wilson was right and he was probably making a pronouncement about Odumboears’ entire speech.
My daughter is actually a friend of one of Rep. Wilson’s sons. Good family. And Rep. Wilson is the real deal.

driguana commented:
The Joe Wilson “You lie” moment should be rebroadcast over and over again with the real facts now shown. Let them all squirm…..the truth is the truth…a lie is a lie. Would be a great campaign ad for someone. And a write-in campaign to go all around the country and cross out the Bush on all of those “Bush Lies” bumper stickers (if there are any still around) and write-in “Obama”.
Ginger commented:
November 22, 2011……is the dead line to run for president.
L.E. Liesner commented:
Joe Wilson does not need vindication for his statement that Obama lied. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that if Obama’s lips are moving he’s either eating or lying and in some cases he’s doing both at the same time. It’s a fact that in this administration the truth is a very rare commodity.
kato commented:
Joe Wilson could have yelled “You lie” at every public utterance the Blowhard has made over the past three years, and he’d be right.
The biggest liars, though, are the asskiss media, which portrayed this subprimer as a bigger-than-life figure. He’s nothing but an errand boy for the unions and a sugar daddy (spending our money) for the Section VIII parasites.
big L commented:
Don’t you think that all the lies are really part of a plan-a kind of psychology. The media people know that radio stations and tv stations will cover Obama every 15 minutes, no matter what their leanings. So every comment by obama is a sound-bite just for those newsbreaks or the lead up to the news break, e.g:”coming up at the hour Obama speaks on the debt-ceiling and the stall of the GOP.”
So presto! the soundbyte, which might be a lie, a clouding of the issue, just hangs there,all day along with other comments like it. They are unanswered, unrebutted to-there is no way to cover these every 15 minutes or so by the GOP. Therefore using this method, Axel, Plouffe Jarrett have a huge advantage to control the newsday. If Obama is caught, well, then that is another opportunity for a newscycle control to correct it and the correction then is repeated.
Look in to the past, in your mind’s eye and recall how few times we heard GWB say anything directly on the news. President Bush was covered by the lefty press only if he made a gaffe…
otherwise he never was covered on anything he did or said, and what did happen would be the news reader saying what GWB had said.
Ozarker commented:
Coming from Fox News, I would hardly call this vindication…
tommy mc donnell commented:
what about that executive order obama was going to issue to prevent funding of abortion under obamacare. anybody heard from joe sestek(sp) lately.

Agreed!
Patty commented:
Obama care is a real complicated expensive mess. When Obama and Holder are fighting with Arizona governor Jan Brewer illegals have literally cost Americans millions, why wouldn’t they be covered under Obama’s Health Care.
Looks to me that come May or June the Supreme Court will decide that Obama mandate to force “Americans” to buy this will be overturned and we won’t have to worry about the Illegals other than following Brewer’s plan finally.
therese commented:
I recall Claire McCaskill saying she would Not Support Obamascare if there were increases in Cost to the Individual. We were promised our rates would not go up and we could keep our Dr.
WELLLLLLLLL Claire???? Your Best Buddy LIED and LIED and LIED. Pathetic .
I have resolved to Sign up and Help who ever Runs Against You in the next election and I urge others as well to help Remove you from Office.
Radegunda commented:
Ozarker: So, were the HHS officials lying when they said that the centers must give care to “all residents” regardless of immigration status? Was Pew Hispanic Center lying when it said that 1/4 of farm workers are illegals?
You could ask HHS and Pew yourself, but you won’t because you’d rather cling to infantile mantras about Fox News and a slavish devotion to the worst president ever.
If you think Obama didn’t want illegals to be covered, you’re crazy. If you think Obama doesn’t lie quite often, you’re a dupe.

We were not misled. It was a standard obama straight faced lie. We did not have to pass it to know what was in it.

Barry has gotten through his whole life via a combination of lie/blame others. This method has proven eminently successful and he sees no reason to fundamentally transform the way he does business.
