However, he should not have put himself into that situation. Like it or not, Wilson caused an unnecessary distraction. Actually, I did note that Wilson apologized.

For example, it was Democrats who challenged Obama's birth certificate, largely because it does not state what hospital he was born at. This article fails to recognize Wilson had already apologized to the president for the lack of decorum but what Wilson says is true and rings with many people both liberal and conservative. Why? Because for many people, it does not matter how incompetent he is, he is our first black president, and that is all that matters to such people.
