My project deals with an edited-down moment in time that arose from a speech President Obama gave on the evening of September 9, 2009. The speech is referred to as the Obama Health Care Address and was given before a joint session of Congress. Midway through the speech the President was interrupted by South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, occurring when Obama rebuked a previously circulated notion that the proposed health care legislation would provide free health coverage for illegal immigrants. Immediately, Wilson bellowed out, "You lie!" The incident garnered the attention of the press as well as the political establishment. My project takes a slice from the official White House transcript of the speech and then layers under it content from the press in subsequent reaction to the Wilson outburst, in addition to an example of the distributed political propaganda that resulted in Obama addressing the illegal immigration topic to begin with. My objective is to demonstrate the reactionary immediacy that is a by-product of this age of information, and how it can reduce significant political discourse into shallow theatre. This project also examines the over-emphasis of conflict and its role in making an idle accusation a legitimate issue.
