The liberal media is in an uproar over Republican Joe Wilson yelling "liar" to Obama when he said illegals would not be covered under Obamacare

Well, how did Dems react when Pres Bush wanted to reform Social Security and told the truth about it?

Nothing on San Fran Nas as of yet - but how about this from Harry "the war is lost Reid" :

Domestic ambition

Throughout the 53-minute speech, many of the president's points were met with loud applause and standing ovations.

But the first half of Mr Bush's speech focused on domestic policy - and this is where he received loud heckles from some members of Congress.

He spoke in detail about his plans for younger workers to divert some of their taxes into personal investment accounts to ensure they receive a pension when they retire.

Responding to Mr Bush's speech, Senate minority leader Harry Reid said the plan for social security was "dangerous" because it would add to national debt.

"That's an immoral burden to place on the backs of the next generation," he added.
