If looks could kill, RIP Joe Wilson

Sorry I couldn't post a shorter version, but, you see, the shorter versions I checked are of lesser video quality. In any event, watch Nancy Pelosi's reaction to Rep. Wilson's outburst at around 2:20 of the video. Is that the feared "look" that we so often hear about? You couldn't have elicited a better expression of outrage had Nancy bore Hussein her insignificant self. But then again, maybe she did, who knows?

Ms. Pelosi may have been outraged, but by the little smirk on Mr. Obama's face at the same time, it seems that he was rather pleased.

I love how Pelosi's jaw dropped; she is not used to her authority being challenged. It seemed to me that Obama appeared taken back a little bit. He is not used to someone in his presense challenge his lies and propaganda. I think he is going to over react.

A lot of this seems like the 1850's to me. He is pushing as hard as he can, but I don't think he is going to like the outcome. I believe a lot of us are about to be a lot more free.

The facial expressions are all interesting as they seem to pretty well cover the entire spectrum -- from Pelosi's extreme anger to Biden's "that's just unfortunate" sigh. I don't really know quite what to make of Hussein's reaction.

I thought Mr. Biden's "that's just unfortunate sigh" looked a bit calculated.

I'm tending to think that Mr. Obama's speech was designed to elicit such a reaction from members of congress (to discredit the conservative movement.)

(Upon listening carefully, you can hear someone else remarking about lies just prior to Mr. Wilson's comment. So was Mr. Wilson's remark just badly timed or did someone turn up the microphones near him to catch such comments?)

I have a theory about this:

Wilson wasn't complaining about nationalized healthcare per se (why should he?, he's a right-liberal, which is to say that he agrees with nationalized healthcare, just not Hussein's accelerated version), he was, in point of fact, responding to Hussein's provocations of the opponents of '[O]bamacare'.

The video posted shows Hussein calling 'Obamacare' opponents liars, irresponsible, etc. One can only provoke someone so many times before the other strikes back. I think that's really all there is to this.
