President Obama was heckled on Thursday during a fund-raising speech in San Jose, California as he spoke to supporters about the need to cast their vote to ensure the Senate remains in Democratic control.
Reaching the end of his address to tech leaders, Obama was interrupted by a man in the crowd and without missing a step, told him that he should speak to him later because he was 'screwing up the end of my speech.'
The heckler was excitedly shouting about his freedoms as a voter, to which the president replied he completely agreed, 'although, why don't we talk about it later because I am just about to finish, you and me, we'll talk about it.'
Undeterred and seemingly uninterested in the president's offer, the heckler continued to throw the president off, who shot back about how much he 'wanted to hear' from him.

Again, we have to hear about things like this from the foreign press.
RACISM!! No white President ever had to put up with hecklers, right?
Dude’s going to be audited by the IRS in 3...2...1...
How did that “heckler” get in? Did he pay at least $1000 for the honor of being able to heckle the Clown Prince?
ZERO: You screwed it up along with our GREAT COUNTRY! ! ! !
Did TOTUS break down?
Hey, Mr. Heckler... When ignorant people talk, you sorta need to just let them do it.
LOL! Now he can actually say, “I didn’t screw that up. No. Somebody else screwed that up for me.” and mean it. The odd thing is that these asshat demosux “donate” all this money and all the policies that get shoved down the little guys throats have nearly ZERO effect on them. I know, I know. If I had worked a little harder and saved a LOT more......

Probably a disgruntled Yahoo employee. Marissa Mayer has not won a lot of fans amongst her staff.
I recall when Reagan had a member of the press heckle him about ‘Tylenol taxation’ - Reagan replyed: “Why don’t you shut up.”
He was a MAN.
Heh.
Cheap at twice the price!
The miserable sonofabitch went into a kind of roll with the guy and tried to illicit laughter from the audience of True Believers at his wit.
Nobody’s laughing, Obama.
Nobody’s laughing.

This is how a great president deals with a heckler. Classic Ronald Reagan.
Here’s why...

Dems might be able to raise more money with this...
Some people might actually pay to see Obama heckled.
