Obama breaks promise to hecklers?

President Obama told people who heckled him at a high school today that he would “listen” to them, but after he was done with his speech, he walked off stage without addressing them.

Obama was just a few minutes into a jobs address at a high school in Manchester, N.H., when the hecklers interrupted him from the gym floor. Their chant wasn’t clear, and the White House’s pool reporter could make out only that they were saying “something akin to 'Over 4,000 people protesting.' ” There were at least 10 of them, the pool said.

After staring at them for nearly half a minute, Obama said, “I'm going to be talking about a whole range of things today, and I appreciate you guys making your point.”

He then promised them that he would hear them out eventually. “Let me make mine,” he said. “I'll listen to you. You listen to me.”

After Obama finished his speech, though, he thanked the crowd and walked off the stage, shaking hands with supporters in the room. It’s unclear whether the hecklers made it up front to have a word with him.

The president often refers to the “American Dream”. I would like him to clearly define what he thinks the American Dream is.

But until he does, I will stick with mine—One Term Presidency.

“The president often refers to the “American Dream”. I would like him to clearly define what he thinks the American Dream is.”

After hearing Hussein’s take on “American Exceptionalism”, his “American Dream” is likely to be the opposite of what the Founders expected.

He’s a Peas of Sh!t.
