Apparently Rep. Joe Wilson has pissed off some people. During Obama's little speech about Obamacare, he yelled you lie. Now the big question on CNN is whether it was planed or not. So what? Lets say it was planned... So what?
CNN also ran a commentary about how we need to respect presidents. At the start of it, it mentions how the Brits have a "question time" where the PM gets into basically a yelling match with the House of Commons. Whats wrong with that idea? Now normally, I believe, the fact that someone in Europe does something is a good reason not to do it here. That goes double for the British. However, those bastards might have stumbled on to something here.
I think we need more yelling at the president. This is the way politics should be (note: I am in class while writing this, so I didn't get to watch the video... hopefully it will be a good one).

That is the last thing we need...more disrespect!
Is it disrespectful to call a liar what he is? I think it shows respect for something that deserves respect: the truth.
Only respect presidents such as GW Bush who would arrest folks with disrespectful slogans on their T-shirts at town halls? People who yelled out got tasered, remember?
Forgot, right wingers have exceedingly short memories.
GW naturally received respect for the office he held, no matter how awful a President he was, it was deemed unpatriotic to disrespect him--despite the fact he presided over the destruction of the economy because of his policies toward Big Business and the wealthy. Free pass for him.
Obama is being treated completely differently from the get go and being disrespected--I wonder why?
How is Obama different from the other Presidents?
If you think Brown got a talking to, see Hannans speech in the European Parliament.

The UK hasn't had an assassination of a ruler in quite a few century's. I believe the shouting bit it helps vent a bit of emotion.
Farage is another man in the EU parliament worth listening to.
