BEREA, Ohio (AP) - A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama's town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did.

Speaking with reporters afterward, he identified himself only as "John Q. Public" and declined to say which news organization, if any, he represented.A FReeper, perhaps?

When somebody does this to McCain, they're called protestors.
When it's done to Obama, they're called hecklers.
Liberal media.

He apparently recited it and had his hand over his heart. He still messed up by not leading it himself.

When he has to act or speak quickly, he always does and says the wrong thing.

Since DU had that poster who explained how to fake press credentials, I expect this will continue.
“Journalists” think they have special Constitutional duties, responsibilities, and rights. Odd that the Constitution never says who is or is not a journalist or reporter, while every other constitutional office is spelled out as to how a citizen gets there.
Anyway, someone did to the extreme far left what they have been doing to normal people for a long time- use the special constitutional rights of a journalist to get in close and then become an activist!

Anyone think this was a plant? It allowed Obama to say the POA without calling for it himself.

Obama’s likely got more security then the President right now. And they let some dumb *** pull this out. Do a little searching...The answer is likely there. He’s “Anonymous”? I don’t think so.
