Even if Joe Wilson was right that Obama was "lying" (which is silly; even if the bill didn't specifically prevent illegal immigrants from being covered, if the illegal immigrant signs up for government help, they are saying "HEY DEPORT ME K")...
Even if he was right, which I haven't read from any bipartisan source that he was, that doesn't excuse his outburst during a serious speech. It's a respect issue. Obama's the president, and he's speaking, and he deserves to be able to get his words out. Other presidents don't even get booed, like Obama was, from DULY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES no less. They aren't children. They've been hired by their constituents to reasonably advocate their constituents' interests, not to act like fools at a concert.
I'm inclined to agree with Carter. It's certainly telling that the first president to get yelled at by a representative like this in a hundred years happens to be black.
Yes, I watched the speech. It was completely inappropriate. Worse than a loud fart at a funeral.
EDIT: There's no excuse for a "lack of a filter between his brain and his mouth". That's PART OF HIS JOB DESCRIPTION. He got elected to persuade people reasonably.
