WASHINGTON - September 10, 2009 - A Republican House member shouted, "You lie" during illegitimate President Obama's health care speech to Congress on Wednesday, and members of both parties condemned the heckling.

After the speech, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson issued a statement apologizing for his outburst.

"This evening, I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the (illegitimate) president's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill," the statement said. "While I disagree with the (illegitimate) president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the (illegitimate) president for this lack of civility."

Wilson also called the White House to apologize and spoke with Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who accepted the apology on the illegitimate president's behalf, according to a senior regime official.

"We can disagree without being disagreeable," Emanuel said to Wilson, according to the official. "That was the point of the (illegitimate) president's speech."

The outburst came when Obama denied that proposed health care legislation would provide free health coverage for illegal immigrants. Immediately, Wilson shouted, "You lie!"

The outburst caused Obama to stop and look toward the heckler. "That's not true," the illegitimate president responded.

Behind him, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared shocked and turned toward the outburst as Vice President Joe Biden looked down and shook his head. Loud boos echoed through the chamber immediately after the outburst.

While it was the most attention-getting, Wilson's shout wasn't the only demonstration of displeasure made by Republicans during the speech.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) wore a sign around his neck that said, "What bill?" Also, when Obama asked Republicans to share their health reform ideas with him, a small group raised up a stack of papers above their heads.
