Joe Wilson blames Obama for swine flu

Mr. "You Lie!" is at it again.

Joe Wilson - the sad excuse of a congressman who disrupted President Obama's health care speech - is now blaming Obama for swine flu.

This despite the fact that the swine flu pandemic originated at factory farms that flourished because of the deregulatory environment that Republicans had created.

Wilson says Obama is "solely responsible" for the swine flu vaccine shortage. But Wilson had voted against funding vaccines! In doing so, Wilson joined 95% of other congressional Republicans in opposing this funding.

So which is it, Joe? Reminds me of the old sitcoms where someone breaks something and says, "It's your fault!" Except this isn't so funny, because Americans' lives are at stake.
