President Barack Obama was about 15 minutes into a major speech—a plea for Middle East peace—at the Jerusalem International Convention Center when a heckler shouting in Hebrew interrupted him.

“It made me feel at home,” the president quipped.

Obama had just said that “given the ties between our countries, I believe your future is bound to ours” when the yelling began, prompting people in the audience to try to shush the culprit and then to boo him.

The president playfully put his hand to his left ear as though to hear better and later shaded his eyes as though to see the heckler.

“This is part of the lively debate that we talked about. This is good,” Obama declared, prompting many in the crowd to applaud and ultimately to give him a standing ovation.

given the ties between our countries, I believe your future is bound to ours

Now this is something which would scare me to death if I lived in Israel.

How do say “You lie!” in Hebrew?

kazab (means liar , to lie - think it is close enough lol )

I didn’t know that Obama was a Major. When did that happen? Was it just an honorary appointment?

[Sir Napsalot]

I meant directly at him ....

My take is that we all can learn how to address in a respectful manner such situations from the well mannered educated POTUSA.I call this ‘the Chicago attitude’.

Hence his fervent desire to destroy both Israel and America. As far as his own future, well it's bound together with the whole House of Israel alright, just not in the way he has in mind.

Obama is no stranger to heckling—far from it. He famously faced an outburst from Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina (who hollered “You lie!” at the president) as well as an interruption from a reporter for the conservative Daily Caller website.

Interesting that the media is associating the "You Lie!" event with this one. There's really a whole lot more to that!

Tick tock...

“This is part of the lively debate that we talked about. This is good,” Obama declared,

reminds me of his 2008 hired flunkies who fainted on demand during campaign appearances.

Thanks Smittie.

"It made me feel at home," the president quipped.

Yeah, right, because he's so often heckled. His handpicked and heavily managed 'crowds' at home do everything but lick his ass clean.
