*head-desk* yeah, not such a smart move on that guy's part. Ok, so you may not agree with him, but you keep your mouth shut when the President is addressing congress.
It's so refreshing to see such an intelligent President - George overstayed his welcome, and, as I think I said to Chee during the election campaign, if John McCain had won I would have cried (and don't even get me started on Sarah Palin.)
Obama is certainly right up there with, not only the great American Presidents, but also the great orators of history. Even without that guy's outburst it's worth watching that whole video just to hear Obama speak. There's something very reminiscent of JFK in his passion and determination, and his faith in America as a whole.
If you want to skip ahead to "You lie! You lie!" (
xd ) jump to roughly 21mins 30s.
It does look kind of tame though, compared to some of the shenanigans (sp?) - including all-in parliamentary brawls - in
Kiev, Ukraine,
Bolivia,
Taiwan,
India and
South Korea. This list could go on . . .
But I bet people would actually watch Parliament Question Time if it degraded into this!!
