ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- The gentleman is asking him about policy brutality and racism against the black community...Obama's crowd jeered.
There are "black" people protesting Obama and they aren't TAKEN OUT immediately?!
And finally, a MICROPHONE is taken up to a person unknown to say whatever he wants?
Remember when Hitlery had setup questions early on in the primary process? This REEKS of the same thing...to make Obama, whose worldwide trip was a miserable failure, look like a "diplomat" and a "peacemaker".
That is how it looks from this keyboard.
Are we sure Hillary isn’t his campaign manager?
The race card blew up in his face nicely, time to try disrupt and ask for sympathy.
I tend to agree with your assessment.
I think he looks bad in the clip. He acceps that guy’s whacked out premises and doesn’t call him on his BS at all.
I can barely stand to hear this man talk..... the slight “jive” inflection. Sorry, but it’s true.
The One can't put together two coherent words without his five hundred handlers writing a script for him.
The fact that he wasn't saying "uhhh" fifteen times a minute is proof-positive that he rehearsed.
It appears as though the Obamanation has adopted a lot of the old gags used by the Clintonistas. My favorite was the heckler ripping Slick Willie about abortions and then they ended up hugging and swappin’ spit to wild applause from the audience. Pretty repulsive. It was definitely staged. A real Oprah moment.
I don’t think it made him look good. He’s The Chosen One, remember? He brings unity to all he touches. When he steps forth, the masses yield to let him pass, rendering his path unobstructed. Any dissent, and from his core constituency no less, does not make him look good.
I agree. It was a set up not only to make Obama “look good” BUT to remind US all of just how awful and hateful and racists we are. So you should vote for Obama b/c otherwise you are a racist pig. And we want none of that Bradley effect, you hear?!
BS. Setup.
If it was a set up....I bet you could track that questionaire down and bribe him for an interview and see if it really was...it will come out if it was I’d bet anyway.
And to the other poster above on the jive talking Obama....he does it all the time to be cool with the brutha’s but when he’s in a room of business folk, he’s all Harvard.
Welcome to the New Face of Totalitarianism.
I haven’t watched any of the stuff, but when I heard about black hecklers, I figured it was a staged event. Like the fainters.
The plethora of pauses (uh, uh, uh) makes me think it’s not a set-up.
"That is how it looks from this keyboard."
If you heard the way Barack Obama responded to this you wouldn't think it was a set up. He was pathetic. Hopefully it will be on youtube.
It may have been a setup but he came off looking and sounding like the stuttering buffoon that he really is.
If its not scripted or on teleprompter, its not even high school caliber..........

The so called hecklers were from uhuru.
Many think Obama’s very close assistant, Reggie Love, knows how to bring the right people together.

This setup was to dispel the race card charge. Obama’s campaign works fast. Talk about creative. Sounds a lot like a Hollywood marketing technique. Notice Obama had a rehearsed response. His campaign is so controlled, there is NO WAY they didn't know this was coming. As if on cue.
Obama has a schtick that he has used before-where he tells the audience to quiet down and don’t complain.
It’s such a phony excuse for Barry to find time so he can think up some kind of response.
Today’s pathetic performance was a perfect example.
First of all-the incredible number of Ahhhhs.
Second of all-the supposed encouraging of the audience to quiet down-when the audience is already quiet.
Only Andrea Mitchell would be in the tank enough to buy this phony Obama jousting with a heckler.
The rest of us see a lightweight unable to deal with a racist complaining about the dire straits of the “ African “ community.
“ American “ conveniently dropped.
