Ah I knew you would swoop in and have this kind of take on it. I really don't recall anyone in Congress heckling Bush in that same manner.

No they actually said much worse over the 8 years. I agree what the guy did was in poor tast but I had to watch these type of thing happen to Bush for 8 years and the left thought it was OK then but now it is wrong in their eyes. Actually even Obama's owen accounting office says that this plan is not paid for and will raise the dept by 1,000,000,000,000 over 10 years. So yes he does lie.

I know you always like to make it a left/right issue, but it's not. Both sides are guilty of the same crap.

I agree I was just pointing out that now the left makes an issue of those thing but did not when Bush was in office.

Then both sides ought to shut the f*ck up about it (channeling my inner-saden there). It's disingenuous for all the Bush bashers to rail on this guy and be dismissive of legitimate concerns that the Dems have done it also. Intentionally or not the argument sounds like "It's ok for people I agree with to do something like this but if I don't agree with them then they need to shut up." The general tone of the current administration and party of power towards those that disagree, dismissive and condescending, only strengthens that image.

Not individually, but in 2004, 2005 and 2007 Bush meet with Boos and Noooos from the Dems at the SoTU.
