BHO was lying. It was a statement of fact. Southern state doesn't have anything to do with it ... it just shows you have some racial problems yourself. BHO was lying and he was called out on it. Was it the right thing to do ... no. Protocol and decorum should be followed. If the Senator wanted to call out the President on his lie, then the Senator should have released a statement after the SOTU address.

Who has done this while BHO has been President? What acts of "treason" did they really commit? I do know while W was President, Nancy Pelosi ignored warnings from the Pentegon, State Dept and WH and traveled to Syria to meet with the government there. Where was your indignation then? That was a blatant slap in the face to the W admin

This isn't because of BHO nor his skin color. Remember Clinton's little line about the economy, here it is with a twist ... It's BHO's policies, stupid. It's not about his skin or BHO himself. It's about his policies.

Let's re-ask the question....when has a President berated and condemned the SCOTUS in front of Congress and before a worldwide audience on live tv? The answer ... NEVER. Not one time has a sitting US President done what BHO did. He stepped way over the lines of protocol in doing this. Where's your indignation over that, JD?
I can only hope that next year the SCOTUS, or at least the conservatives on the court won't attend the SOTU address.

We're talking blatant contempt.

Yeah, silly us. All those jokes about W and the demonstrators' signs comparing him to a terrorist and burning posters and mock-ups of him ... that was just silly humorous stuff.
It's disingenious to whine about the way people treat BHO when you were silent about the way people treated W.

He could be purple or pink and people would still be angry. Again ... it's his policies, stupid.
