Obama fires back at AIDS protesters, tells them to hassle GOP By Vicki Needham - 10/30/10 06:53 PM ET President Obama deflected heckling by AIDS protesters during a Saturday rally, suggesting they take up their cause with "the other side" that's opposed to funding.
A group of people interrupted Obama's speech before 9,000 in Connecticut chanting "Fund Global AIDS."
The president was quick to respond to the chorus of protesters saying, "You’ve been appearing at every rally we’ve been doing. And we’re funding global AIDS. And the other side is not. So I don't know why you think this is a useful strategy to take."
Obama was in Bridgeport as part of a four-state swing during the final days before the midterm elections, stumping for Rep. Jim Himes, who is in a tight re-election race, and the state attorney general, Richard Blumenthal, who is seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Chris Dodd, who is retiring.
"I think it would make a lot more sense for you guys to go to the folks who aren’t interested in funding global AIDS and chant at that rally," Obama said. "Because we’re trying to focus on figuring out how to finance the things that you want financed, all right?"
That led to chants of "Obama, Obama" as the crowd stirred and the president tried to calm emotions as the protesters were escorted out of the rally.
"It's very important to remember that an issue like global AIDS is very important," Obama said. "And the question we’ve got is which party is most likely to actually fund it in ways that help people around the world."
He then added that it will be difficult to move forward on many issues until "we get the economy fixed, unless we can put people back to work, unless folks feel more confident about the future."
"It’s going to be hard to move forward on all these initiatives."
” “Listen up...Listen up..Listen up..”
Barry’s off teleprompter speech pattern and sloppy enunciation is so unpresidential and so unprofessional.
And so juvenile.
Lissa up... lissa up...lissa up....aww right now.
Oh my God. He was like that substitute that came to your middle school and got eaten alive...
Leftists like to give it but they can’t take it.
“If my memory serves me correctly I bitched my brains out when W spent millions to fight AIDS.”
I don’t see it is a proper role for government/forced taxation.

0bama is such a tiny little puke. What a disgusting creature.
Reverse Operation Chaos.
His Chicago thug-ness is showing through more every day. At every turn, he’s directing the angry mob toward the GOP.
What’s with the “street slang” and not using the last letter of the word? COOL? Not so much. LOSER!
So, it’s OK for 0baMao to change his dialect depending on the venue but it’s not OK for a FReeper to make fun of him for it?
This is hilarious. 0baMao is forcing his base to either deny the well known facts or admit that W. Bush did more than he has in funding AIDS prevention.

I don't know, maybe he's not lying. Maybe obama doesn't understand how the US government works. After all, before he was elected president, he only served in the senate for what, two years? Maybe he doesn't understand that the house of representatives, which has been controlled by the dems since what, 2006, is where all finance bills must start. Once passed by the dem controlled house, the bill then has to be passed by the dem controlled senate. Finally, the dem President of the US has to sign the bill into law.
So maybe he just doesn't understand that "the other side," which might be the republicans, or maybe just the citizens of the United States, aren't the ones who pass funding bills like the one's he's trying to slack off on... After all, he's only the President of the United States. It's not like he's got the "bully pulpit" or any sort of power. He's just a community organizer who's misunderstood and confused.

One of the best posts I’ve read on the subject of Obama.
He seems very stuck on his “us” and “them” thing—whoever doesn’t agree with him is one of “them” and that’s as deep as he goes.
Don’t know what you mean. I was making fun of Bam, not any Freepers.
My apologies. I thought you were directing it to the FReeper you replied to.
NO WAY! Freepers are my buddies...
