Wow. That’s pretty extraordinary video.

I particularly liked the president having the presence of mind- in the midst of this outburst- to remind the new citizens and all of us- that in America we believe in free speech!

Fine, but I'm sick to death of almost everyone allowing scum like Code Pink to associate "free speech" with every illegal, violent, and dangerous "protest" action they choose to employ. Free speech does not (or should not) cover illegality, threatening behavior, violence, etc.

If anyone wants to legally protest, picket, etc. that's just great. But when it crosses the line into illegal behavior it is time to enforce our laws and go for maximum penalties, especially for all the repeat offenders who are allowed to brazenly violate the law over and over and over again.
