Patrick Swayze Dies at 57

It seems that over the last few months we have said good bye to one too many of our childhood stars. First Farrah, the Charlies Angel who touched all our hearts with her tribute to her son, the love of her life and her friends with her candid documentary about her struggle with cancer.
Then Michael Jackson. A music legend who struggled with fame and was constantly in the spotlight or scrutinized or stalked by the tabloid media. Jackson died at the age of 50 and was laid to rest earlier this month.
However, today, we say good bye to yet another legend. Patrick Swayze who swept American teenage girls in the 80s off their feet with Dirty Dancing, and who spellbound audiences as he played in Ghost. Swayze, the current star of A&E's new series The Beast, passed away at the age of 57 after his 20 month long battle with Pancreatic cancer.
He was surrounded by family and friends according to his publicist Annett Wolf. Our thoughts are with the Swayze family and friends. For this and other information please go to www.foxnews.com, www.cnn.com, www.msnbc.com.

Obama Heckled for Health Care

The man pictured above is non-other than Representative Joe Wilson from South Carolina. The Republican Rep is being reprimanded today for his comments during last nights televised speech given by President Obama to the joint session of congress and the American people. At one point during the Presidents speech he stated that the health care plan he was hoping to have pass would not include illegal immigrants. After the president said these defining words Rep. Wilson and other members of congress booed him. However, Wilson's remarks were the loudest as he called out "You lie!" It was clear that the words had stunned Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden who took their seats just behind President Obama. For those Americans who did not get to witness the heckling over health care reform first hand, all the proper news affiliations certainly covered it this morning. Representative Wilson has issued an apology to the President saying that his statement was regrettable. However, most Americans applauded Wilson for speaking up while others believe his comments were disrespectful. Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Obama's speech was "At times, overly combative", and that she felt, "he behaved in a manner beneath the dignity of the office. I fear his speech tonight has made it more difficult — not less — to find common ground." The debate about health care reform still rages and as the President hopes for an agreement, one may be reached later rather than sooner as hoped.
