Obama heckled during energy speech in Ohio
The Hill ^ | March 22, 2012 | Andrew Restuccia

A heckler interrupted President Obama’s speech on energy policy Thursday at Ohio State University.

The president, looking frustrated, stopped speaking and addressed the man

"Sir. Im here to speak to these folks. You can hold your own rally. You're being rude," Obama said, as the crowd applauded.

The heckler was apparently holding up a book for Obama to read. The president said he would read the book, but asked the man to stop interrupting his speech.

"Sir, I'm trying to talk to these people. I'll be happy to read your book. If you wanna give me your book, I'll be happy to read it. But don't interrupt my conversation with these folks," he said, asking his staff to retreive the book. "Show me some courtesy, alright?"

This isn’t passing the smell test. It sounds staged to make Obama sound like he can handle situations like this.

I don’t think only screened supporters get into oBozo’s rallies.

Yep. Can’t help but notice that liberal/radical based demonstrators don’t hesitate for one minute to out-shout any speaker, trash the place and cause a general disruption and it’s all within their rights.

On second thought...

A plant for sure, otherwise, we would have had a “Don’t Taze me bro...” moment.

I’m sure the SS will have this agitator arrested under the new EP for protesting near the resident
