Obama said, "The reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," which Wilson said was a "lie." Nearly two years after shouting “You lie” at President Barack Obama during an address to a joint session of Congress, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson says he has been vindicated.

During President Obama's major health care speech on Wednesday, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson (R) yelled out "You lie!" Wilson was heavily criticized for breaching decorum by yelling out during Obama’s speech outlining his healthcare plans. Wilson said Wednesday that a recent award of $28.8 million to 67 community healthcare centers around the country would inevitably end up benefiting illegal immigrants, contrary to Obama’s pledge. when the President said the legislation would not mandate coverage for undocumented immigrants.
