President Obama faced off with a heckler during a reception celebrating LGBT Pride Month at the White House, telling the person “you’re in my house.”
Obama was interrupted shortly after beginning his speech to the crowd by a person who repeatedly shouted the president’s name.
“No, no, no , no. Listen, you’re in my house,” Obama told the person.
“You’re not going to get a good response from me by interrupting me like this,” Obama said.
But the heckler would not let up, despite Obama’s pleas, boos from the crowd and chants of “Obama! Obama!” The president became visibly irritated, and the woman was escorted from the room at his request.
“Shame on you, you shouldn’t be doing this,” he said.
The protester was identified as Jennicet Gutiérrez by the Not One More Campaign, which opposes the Obama administration’s deportation policies.
Gutiérrez, an undocumented transgender woman, could be heard shouting “not one more” and “stop all deportations.”
“As a general rule, I am just fine with a few hecklers,” Obama said. “But not when I am up in the house. My attitude is if you’re eating the hors d'oeuvres, you know what I’m saying? And drinking the booze? I know that’s right.”
Turning back to his speech, Obama touted the gains made for gays and lesbians under his administration and addressed an imminent Supreme Court ruling on whether same-sex marriage is a constitutional right.
"There are a few decisions coming down in the next few days that I'm paying close attention to,” he said. “However the decision comes down on the marriage issue, one thing is undeniable: there has been an incredible shift in attitudes across the country.”
He noted there were two states where gay marriage was legal when he took office, but now there are 37.
Obama said transgender people are increasingly accepted by mainstream America, noting high-profile individuals who have come out and TV shows that "transgender individuals and families," an apparent nod to Caitlyn Jenner.
“The power of example is slowly changing people’s hearts,” Obama said.
Should Obama be Sammy? I mean he’s black, Sammy’s black...
Obama is having a donkey show in his house with transgenders? I hope he cleans up afterwards.
Eeeeewwwww.
Very good, but you left out,
“an hittin’ on the (other peoples’) hot asian maid, we both know what I’m sayin?
The tone of voice is that of thinking it’s his house even post-term.
“The Hip-Hop Administration.”
He must be SO proud.
Since Obama’s ancestors included slave-owners, shouldn’t he resign?
The only thing that goes through my mind after reading this is Eddie Murphy saying ‘who put their coals out on the flo?’
Bump
Well, that does make it his house for as long as he is President, though, right? I mean technically it is the “people’s house”, but its not like some random American can go live in it. It is the President’s house.
Lol!
LOL, Obama versus illegal tranny.
BTW jagoff, it’s not your house.
The rental agreement between some very stupid Americans and President * will be ending in January of 2017. Hopefully, the new tenants will show the respect for this home that it deserves.
I expect Obama’s staff to trash the place like Clinton’s did. Ripping the W’s out of the keyboards.
The Secret Service could have redeemed themselves if they simply thru this transgendered person AND Obama out of out house.
I’m pretty sure after the latest SCOTUS ruling, it’s Una Paloma Negro’s house now.
Come now, was anyone expecting the court would do the right thing?
That little bitch Roberts already decided to uphold Obamacare 3 years ago, and he shamed himself by twisting the Constitution into a tortured little ball to do it. Why in the world would he choose to neuter it now? He already invented a reason to keep it once and will keep inventing reasons. The only thing different is that the other sissy moderate, Kennedy (who last time wrote the dissent), joined him this time.
A legislative repeal, rammed through a Republican Congress by any means necessary and signed by a Republican President, is and has been the only hope to get rid of Obamacare, the court made clear 3 years ago that they weren’t gonna do it.
Forgot to ping you to #78
I was hopeful. John Roberts feared repercussions from an overturning, even though that is meant to be dealt with in the political arena. He also doesn’t want to be seen as a partisan judge. I don’t see any of the Democrat-appointed judges worrying about that.
Supporters of traditional marriage are increasingly resigned to losing the June 28 case.
We need to get the White House back next year. Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy are getting up in years and the nation can’t afford to have them replaced by a Democrat.
