[Image/Video Update] Join Us To Live Blog Obama’s Health Scare Speech!

UPDATE: Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), via Allahpundit + Rep. Wilson’s later apology:
The culprit was South Carolina rep Joe Wilson … when The One told what was, in fact, a lie. … Where this jackass gets off lecturing Americans on civility after his cretinous cronies spent a month demagoging the hell out of every protester in sight is beyond me. You’re Mr. Clean, aren’t you, champ? And bottom-feeders like Harry Reid are your hatchet men. …
I’m told that his magic number of “47 million” uninsured Americans magically dropped to 30 million uninsured in this speech, presumably to omit the illegal immigrants who were inflating the tally. …
Update: When do Obama and Reid apologize for their month of jackassery?
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
Below, ORIGINAL POST + video of Rep. Wilson’s “LIE!”:
We’re posting this open thread aka “live blog” thread early so that you can begin to weigh in on any leaks you’ve heard about what Obama’s speech will focus on as well as what the pundits are predicting.
Besides what Obama says, we’ll all be on the lookout as the cameras pan the members of Congress to check out their reactions. Also: If needed, we will add new threads, and we may start a new thread for the speech to be delivered by the Republican minority.
Boy, oh, boy, you’re the last people we need to say this to, but what the heck: DON’T BE SHY! TELL US WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL! Ha!
CONTINUATION OF UPDATE:
Bronwyn’s Note: I’m a bit let down that Rep. Wilson had to apologize, but I do recognize that his quickly-issued apology should help keep the Obamedia from an all-out blitz attack.
