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 country’s most Democratic cities.

Demonstrators held signs that said “Broken Promises” and interrupted his speech to protest AIDS funding and the stalled repeal of “don’t ask, don’t 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 you’re 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 don’t focus on this election.”

The “don’t ask, don’t 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’

much like any footage of Barry smoking or other countless gems the public has been deprived of.

So he didn't give them up?

“So he didn’t give them up?”

The NY Times says as recently as Feb, 2010 that Barry’s doctor report says that he continues to struggle with a smoking addiction. I’ve never seen footage of Barry smoking. The press has covered up any image much like their never showing FDR in a wheelchair.

[Tennessean4Bush]

the bloom is off the rose

[Mygirlsmom]

Did he give them the ever classy one-fingered nose scratch???

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I’m only assuming that NYC is a shole and that today was a good example of why.

[neverdem]

Thanks for the ping.

H cubed...:)

"The press has covered up any image much like their never showing FDR in a wheelchair."

There, fixed it...

[no dems]

I'm thinking that a lot of disillusioned Libs and Dems will sit out the Midterm Elections out of lethargy, disgust, anger and/or rebellion. That's good for our team. Whatcha think? Anybody?

[mkjessup]

LOL, one good graphic mocking Comrade Zero, deserves another!

Good morning. Yes, anything that indicates he is going down brings a smile to my face.

Wait until the far left takes a page out of the Tea Party manual a starts putting the hurt on Democrats at town meetings and rallies. Compared to the uncouth behavior of leftists, the Tea Party folks will appear as if they’ve gone to finishing school.

It’s coming and there won’t be enough popcorn to pass around when it does.

-----------------------

At some point with his huge inflated ego he's going to snap. Could be we see a 'Great Purge' along the lines of Stalin's in 1936-1938 (purge of the Party ranks)... Just wondering out loud....

Look out Zer0, the hope and change is a coming... and not from you.

[chilltherats]

I’m glad he got heckled by a bunch of queers. I think it’s funny.

[chilltherats]

They shudda flashed that photo of zero in the purple lace suit takin’ it up the butt. The queers heckling him would have done a total 180 and been cheering him on with orgiastic enthusiasm.

His administration has increased AIDS funding, he said, but “the people that potentially will take over will cut AIDS funding if we don’t focus on this election.”

What a putz.

"the people that potentially will take over"

He's such a bobo - who talks like that? Why use one word, when a dozen will do?

Just more proof that he's not thrifty, with words or our money.

Good luck with that middle of the road tactic Obozo. No jobs no votes. People are pissed off at the D party.
