National Review made an interesting point about Obama’s speech last night.

I forget, though…

Did he denounce the use of “scare tactics” before or after he warned that “failure to go along with his plans would cause people to die.”

 

I also noticed a lot of angst over Joe Wilson (R-SC) calling Obama a liar in the middle of the speech.  No one mentions that Obama had several times accused his opponents of not telling the truth.  I believe that’s the same thing, isn’t it?  And while the “lack of decorum” charge is probably reasonable, don’t forget that the Democrats booed Bush during his State of the Union speech in (I think) 2008.  But it’s true, I suppose, that Republicans should have more class than Democrats.
