By all accounts, the President delivered a great speech.
But his run-up included a falsehood: that 'Rep. Giffords opened her eyes for the first time' when Obama visited her.
Nope.
Giffords can open her eyes, but because she is on a ventilator she can’t speak, said Rhee.
That was on Sunday.
Frankly, when I saw the clip of the President making that statement--which he repeated for emphasis--I thought he was lying. There was a 'tell' in his delivery of the line.

Way to kick 'em when they're down!
Looks like you'd better consult Snopes on this one too.
"...he was lying. There was a 'tell' in his delivery of the line."
Schmuck! Obama was told that Giffords opened her eyes for the first time by her husband. Not only that, according to her doctor, it was the first time she had opened her eyes on her own.
