We'd Better Start Listening For Facts, Folks

Here's another update on the battle over health care revamps: If you think that congressman from South Carolina, a Republican no less, caught holy you-know-what for calling out President Barack Hussein Obama on some of the President's "facts," then listen to a non-partisan observer. The chief budget officer -- Douglas Elmendorf -- says the President is wrong in his claim that seniors' Medicare benefits wouldn't be cut under the President's overhaul. Do I hear the echoes of Rep. Joe Wilson's comments rise again ("You lie!"), only with a little softer approach? Mr. Elmendorf says without a doubt seniors would face a cut by more than $100 billion over 10 years. And you liberals out there said Wilson was crazy.
