Joe Wilson is your pre-existing condition

If you haven’t heard the big political news lately, I’ll fill you in: South Carolina Republican Representative Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” at President Barack Obama during his speech on health care and was subsequently turned into the enemy of the entire government for being disorderly and disruptive. To that end, a lot of people are angry at his lack of professionalism and have created websites like Joe Wilson Is Your Pre-Existing Condition which is a poke at what a horrible person he might be.

Check out the video below of him interrupting the President.

Student reporter Damon Weaver interviews President Barack Obama

August 14, 2009 @ 7:27 pm

This kid is great! I just hope somebody recognizes his talent and passion and doesn’t let him fall through the cracks as he gets older.

In the interview, Damon was able to ask President Obama about what he thinks can be done to improve the education system and also whether or not Obama has any plans to make school lunch taste better. The ending however, is gold. :)
