President Obama was heckled on Thursday during a fund-raising speech in San Jose, California as he spoke to supporters about the need to cast their vote to ensure the Senate remains in Democratic control.
Reaching the end of his address to tech leaders, Obama was interrupted by a man in the crowd and without missing a step, told him that he should speak to him later because he was 'screwing up the end of my speech.'
The heckler was excitedly shouting about his freedoms as a voter, to which the president replied he completely agreed, 'although, why don't we talk about it later because I am just about to finish, you and me, we'll talk about it.'
Undeterred and seemingly uninterested in the president's offer, the heckler continued to throw the president off, who shot back about how much he 'wanted to hear' from him.

How does he lose something he doesn’t have?
He just does not like having a tactic pulled out of the Alinsky playbook and turned back on him.
That’s the problem. TOTUS probably went on without him. Obama can’t wing it.
Can you imagine how much vertigo one would get seeing the picture of that POS before the flag juxtaposed to a picture of George C Scott playing Patton from the biopic?
I see another gathering of 1% Democrats. That party is the biggest bunch of hypocrites when it comes to wealth. I guarantee there were no blue collar types at that dinner.
“...Undeterred and seemingly uninterested in the president’s offer...”
Pretty much sums up the attitude of most of us...
In August Dr. Ben Carson is coming to my town to speak(a fund-raiser for our local pregnancy center); I sure hope we can listen to his speech without any rude and insane interruptions.
I think people who come into private meetings where people have paid, with the intention of disrupting and heckling the speaker, should be removed and taken to jail. I’m not talking about peaceful demonstrations outside of private meetings.
Whenever Bush was heckled, the media ran video and talked about the public’s increasing dissatisfaction with his performance.
The media ESPECIALLY highlighted the episode if it happened in a venue that was considered FRIENDLY to Bush.
So, are the networks covering this?
"I Can't Get Me No R-S-P-E-C- T !"
A $1,000? It cost a minimum of $10,000 just to get in the door at the La Jolla (San Diego) fundraiser. The cost was over $30,000 to go to a pre-party cocktail hour. ICK!
You're screwing up my life, liberties and livelihood, you maoist POS.
If the USA had elected all black presidents throughout history, then elected Obama, would he have become known as the first WHITE president?
*snicker*
Some sycophants are, to use a Vegas term, comped to swell the crowd.

Yep. He is too thin-skinned to be a POTUS, much less world leader - and vice versa!
MY speech. It's always self-referential with him. Everything is MY this and MY that. He's a pathological narcissist.
you and me, we'll talk about it.
this guy went to Harvard???????
so much for that income inequality nonsense......
Hypocrites...........
