Funny. Obama lies, Wilson calls him on it, apologizes, White House admits lie, yet some still think that Wilson should apologize yet again. "How dare you catch the Obamessiah in a lie!"
Obama asked to apologize for 'lies to entire country'

An immigration enforcement organization is calling on President Barack Obama to publicly apologize to Congress, the media, and the entire nation for lying about illegal immigrants not having access to healthcare reform benefits. The grassroots group is standing behind Congressman Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina), who shouted "You lie!" during the president's healthcare speech last week.
Even though Wilson apologized to the president, House Democrats are demanding that he apologize again -- this time on the House floor. And if he refuses, they are planning to introduce a resolution of disapproval. Wilson has said he has no plans to apologize further, and last week rejected requests from GOP leaders that he take to the House floor and apologize.
"I believe one apology is sufficent," Wilson told The Associated Press over the weekend. "As the White House indicated, we need to go ahead with a civil discussion of the issues -- and I appreciate [that] the president accepted my apology [and] the vice president accepted the apology."
William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, says it is President Obama who needs to apologize for lying.
