Barack Obama heckled in Manhattan By: Carol E. Lee September 22, 2010 08:09 PM EDT
NEW YORK President Barack Obama was heckled multiple times during his speech at a Democratic fundraiser in one of the countrys most Democratic cities.
Demonstrators held signs that said Broken Promises and interrupted his speech to protest AIDS funding and the stalled repeal of dont ask, dont tell, the policy banning gays from serving openly in the military that Obama has promised to lift.
Obama showed a flash of irritation after he was forced repeatedly off his prepared remarks. We listened to you, we heard your point, he told the young lady who continued shouting at him about AIDS funding. This is not the time or the place to do what youre talking about.
Obama also tried to make the most of the moment by pointing out that Republicans would be further away from the protestors on both of the issues they were complaining about.
His administration has increased AIDS funding, he said, but the people that potentially will take over will cut AIDS funding if we dont focus on this election.
The dont ask, dont tell protest came moments later, as Obama began talking about how incomes for the middle class fell by 5 percent a statement he had to repeat twice.
The president pointed out that this week Senate Republicans blocked Democrats

TV coverage just reverently shows footage of Barry at the U.N. talking about shoveling billions of U.S. tax dollars for obscure countries to fritter away. No mention of heckling. Don’t know why he had to show up in person to shovel the money. Guess the billion dollars of security for Barry to make the trip was worth it so he could have a photo op.
Saw Jon Stewart on BOR...
Yeah, I saw that sophomoric-humor leftist. I enjoyed it when BOR talked about [paraphrase] the folks, the working folks, the millions of people who watch me that don't watch you. (HOORAY Bill!)
This tells me that the dems don’t have a clue about what’s about to hit them in November.
Ouch. The Boy Wonder isn’t used to that. Sorry I missed it. :-)
Is he good for anything else but a good heckle?
Absolutely agree, Bamster. Send him an email during a sporting event that he is watching so one of his underlings can ignore your concerns. Go Barry, go!
I have been saying for months, he will not serve out his term. He will resign or be impeached.
That spelling makes my heard hurd.
“This tells me that the dems dont have a clue about whats about to hit them in November.”
Just saw a local lib columnist Neal Steinberg interviewed on the local Fox News. He was slamming the Tea Party, called them “summer camp for angry white people.” Liberalism is a mental disorder......
Can you imagine the fireworks? LOL
We only figuratively threaten torches and pitchforks. The left will bring 'em for real. We're talking all-out riots here. That's what they do.
I’m hearing he’s staying at the Waldorf . . no president stays at the Waldorf. . . until now.
Hussein Heckled in Harlem
Staged. Trying to make himself look more Centrist by showcasing radical Left “protestors.”
