BEREA, Ohio (AP) - A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama's town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did.
His first grade teacher said that she thought it would be nice for the US President to be nostalgic for the call to evening prayers, not a demonstration of loyalty to and love for his country.
Conservative hecklers and protesters are so much better behaved and well-spoken than the poop throwing monkeys on the left.

Staged, just like the black hecklers the other day.
Yeah, but Obama first responded that he'd thought the pledge had already been said.
Definitely staged. Like I said when the black hecklers stood up the other day, it had to have been staged, because Obama can't speak that many words in a row without stuttering.
I’m sure BO’s cult of freakniks will be disgusted that The Deliverer caved into the fascist/nationalist/imperialist loyality pledge......(otherwise known as the Pledge of Allegiance).
Please people give obamawama a break, he like to feel himself more than paying respect to the flag he wants to serve.
Skipped your posts, but I agree.
You have to do the pledge at Town Hall meetings? What are we all schoolchildren?
I’m betting it was staged.
The heckler was a plant. This is so obviously staged I cannot believe anyone would believe otherwise. Obama saying, “What’s that? I hear someone saying something...” and then the heckler speaks. Obama sounded like one of those fake faith healers.
I’m sure we will find out who “John Q. Public” is in the long run.
I wonder how many of his audience members even knew the Pledge of Allegiance?
They do seem to want to run to the press and get some attention.
Arrogant POS.
Oh yes...I called bullsh*t the second I read that on Drudge this afternoon.
I have to assume he's got full SS protection right now. If that's the case, the people that got special access to that press platform I'm sure had to submit more than just a press badge. Social Security and other info probably had to be submitted if they were press.
If he managed to fool SS by submitting false credentials, (if he was there in that special section as a cameraman, he was to do just that...film, not protest)the SS would have immediately realized that the person with special access was a fraud when he started yelling.
I have no doubt in my mind that if he had not been cleared by the campaign to do this, the SS would have removed him immediately.
I call the same bullsh*t on the black guys that did their little protest last week.
Again, this all depends on how much protection he has from the SS. I have to assume that since he's the soon-to-be nominee, and black, he's getting some pretty good protection.
I’m guessing this is a set-up to allow Obambi to ‘handle’ the situation with confidence, invite the guy to lead the audience in the pledge, etc.
How did a real ‘heckler’ get press credentials, get inside Obambi’s tight Secret Service protection etc. etc.? Just doesn’t meet the smell test.
Find out who the guy is and I’ll be we’ll find an Obambi supporter staging a little disruption to allow Obambi to appear in control and able to “work with” diverse views and citizens etc.
Did he even know the words? I suppose he did if it were a staged event, since his handlers made sure he studied them beforehand.
Does Obambi even know the words to our National Anthem? I wish someone had challenged him to sing it during the primaries, when he might have revealed his ignorance -- by now he's probably been ordered to practice it by his Soros puppet masters.
