Response toRep. Joe Wilson (R, SC)

Mr. Wilson, I am dismayed and embarrassed by your disrespectful outburst towards the President of the United States. Sir, this country is at war and Mr. Obama is our Commander in Chief. He is also the duly-elected President of the United States.

What a sad example you set for the children of your district and of the country. No respect for authority, no sense of decorum, no attempt at rational discussion: if you disagree with someone, no matter who they are, simply shout at them.

You are a member of the House of Representatives, a proud position that is worthy of respect. If you cannot treat your office with the respect it deserves (and you have demonstrated that you have no respect for any office), I suggest that you do the honest thing and resign that office immediately.
