"You Lie" Rep. Joe Wilson Blames President Obama for H1N1 Vaccine Shortage!
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) stated in an interview with CNSNews.com concerning the shortage of H1N1 vaccine, "The current administration is solely responsible. They can't blame this on any prior administration," said Wilson. "This is the responsibility of the current administration. They've put the lives of Americans at risk."

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) voted against a bill in June which contained special funding to combat H1N1 both domestically and internationally. However, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) forgets this fact, even though he felt compelled to make the infamous "You Lie" comment during the President's address to Congress in September and now this ridiculous comment. The "Party of No" and Joe Wilson once again has to pull its foot out of its mouth.

Needless to say Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) was campaigning in New Jersey for Chris Christie in the Governor's race at a rally and fund-raiser sponsored by NJ Tea Party. However during an interview on Fox News Chris Christie denied the claim that Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) was campaigning in New Jersey for him, telling Fox News, "There was no campaigning with Joe Wilson." I don't blame him, being that close in the polls Christie doesn't need the baggage of Joe Wilson.

Doesn't look good for Joe Wilson when his own party's candidates won't admit to his assistance.

1. How can the fact that the company that makes the vaccine says that
the vaccine is taking longer to grow than they anticipated have anything to do with the President?

3. Wanta blame somebody
blame the darn press for not getting the true message to the public. They give Wilson the face time to blame Obama, but they don't tell why the vaccine wasn't being made fast enough.

If you look at the "news" being posted at CNN you see it over and over. they are giving a republican slant to everything they put up and tell.No wonder Ted Turner said he wants his station back.

4. Well, Bush got blamed too when there was a vaccine shortage.
I don't think it has a lot to do with the particular president, although both sides love to place blame there.
