President Obama was heckled during his national security speech today: "Why don't you sit down," the president told the heckler. "You should let me finish my sentence. Code Pink's Medea Benjamin. video, c/o Drudge

This was probably the same person who asked the lady from the IRS the planted question.

Why not excerpt and link to the rest of your article?

Code Pink sneaking into a presser is like Don Rickles sneaking into a Dean Martin Roast.
Excellent analogy! I said it on another post, the incompetence, appearances of impropriety, corruption, and phoniness, particularly at these pressers are more transparent and predictable than a badly written Wrestlemania script.

Like the Capitol Police do not know who Medea Benjamin and Code Pink are by now?

Hogwash!

Have you notice that Code Pink is almost in hearing room with their pink signs?

Why are they allowed to bring sign in these rooms—those sign could be used as weapons.

It’s like they have a special dispensation or something.

You and I try this, it’s off to the hoosegow.

I feel the same way. I just turned 60 and for the first time since grade school I feel like I don’t have a president or a country. Eerie feeling not knowing if we’ll ever get back what we lost.

He called her “Ma’am”?

Don’t leftist women want to be called Ms.? Or something?

Weird that he is trying to be courtly toward someone who is at a loss to appreciate it.

[Democrat_media]

All this is just a smokescreen to get the IRS tyranny off of the news and the willing news media plays along. Drudge the idiot fell for it.

She sounds like a saint compared to me.

Hey Obama, a girl just kicked your a$$. LOL

Hey bammy... you lost the vagina vampires.

I'm 63 and feel the same way; have for the past 4½yrs. And we have 3½yrs to go before we get rid of this racist/marxist/socialist/muslim/treasonous/hate-America POS. I don't know if all the damage can be undone.

Hell, I’ve never been able to watch him.

The next 3.5 will be just like the last 4.5. I’ll dodge the TV if the sham comes on, and grit my teeth a lot. All the while I’ll hope the nation can survive the damage the dirtbag inflicts.

If she got in there, she was meant to be in there.

Exactly. He also acknowledged and engaged with her which brought attention to what she was wanting. That's a big no-no for anyone on the podium.

My 80-some year old uncle had a heart attack a couple weeks ago. He wouldn’t respond when the EMS asked how old he was or what year it was but when they asked who the president was... well, let’s just say they told him he was going to be fine.

It was staged. Code pink shouldn’t be allowed in the building.

[laweeks]

I’m at the point where if he shows up on tv...I automatically turn the station or turn the set off.

Likewise . . . he hasn't finished a sentence on TV or on the radio. There's not a thing that this sock puppet has to say that I care to hear. I even change the channel when Rush plays this doofus's quotes. I refuse to listen to him.

[2rightsleftcoast]

exactly!!!

LOL, I was at that point in December, of 2008!!

Staged for Pravda.
