Obama speaks to half-empty fundraiser--heckled in Florida
Daily Caller ^ | 06/14/2011 | Steven Nelson

President Obama’s re-election campaign swept through Florida on Monday. Obama spoke at three fundraisers, including one that was open to the public.

The largest fundraiser had a disappointing turnout. Politico reported that only 980 tickets were sold for the event at the 2,200 seat Adrienne Arsht Center. The upper level of the center was completely empty, the second and third levels only partially full, according to Politico.

Tickets were sold at a relatively low $44.

“I know the conversation you guys are having. ‘I’m not feeling as hopeful as I was.’ And I understand that,” Obama told attendees. “There have been frustrations, and I’ve got some dings to show for it over the last two and half years.”

During the speech a protester interrupted, shouting, “keep your promise, stop AIDS now.” Other attendees drowned out the heckler by chanting “Obama, Obama, Obama.”

“keep your promise, stop AIDS now.”

...wouldn’t be my choice of a heckle, but I guess a heckle is a heckle.

It's all about him. Always has been, always will be.

Half-empty auditorium audience for a half-ass speaker.

The Fuhrer is sliding into the RAT sewer to become the worst President in American history. Even Jimmah isn’t as low.

First of all, I can't stand it when someone I don't know refers to me as "you guys."

Secondly, doesn't this sound like Jimmy Carter?

He is going to get a big ass-kicking in the election. The media can lie all they want for him. It won’t help. It will just look all the worse for the inept community organizer. Nice try at socialism....FAIL!

“keep your promise, stop AIDS now.”

As if Obama (or anyone) can stop AIDS.

Stop sharing needles and having unprotected homo sex, and that'll go a long way towards accomplishing their goal. Oh but that's too much to ask, that they stop their bad behavior.

They want "Obama, the Magic Negro" to wave his magic wand and everything will be "all better"...

Fricking idiot!!!

Here’s how the news will lead if Obama loses to Herman Cain.
“Racism is alive and well in the United States as the first Black president is voted out of office.”

Yeah, but his "dings" are on the golf course, and his caddy replaces the divots for him.
