http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/06/obama-interrupted-by-heckling-reporter-126301.html, President Obama's Rose Garden remarks on Friday were interrupted by heckling from reporter Neil Munro from the Daily Caller.
Obama, announcing a change of policy that would allow the children of illegal immigrants to avoid deportation if they meet certain criteria, was interrupted mid-speech by Munro.
"Whyd you favor foreigners over Americans? Munro shouted.
Excuse me, sir, but its not time for questions," Obama responded.
Are you going to take questions? Munro asked.
Not while Im speaking. Obama said.
While it's not unusual for Obama to be interrupted by occasional hecklers at big public events, the fact that a reporter brought Obama's speech to complete halt raised eyebrows among members of the White House press corp.
I'd deport that fucker tonight

i am so angry over this that I need to count ten. Tucker already said that a reporter is allowed to ask the President a question.

And then end it with "That, folks, is how Chris Christie does it."

Revoke ALL Press Credentials for any "reporter" from whatever "news" organization he represents. Nothing less.

(62,325 posts)those behind him, including many who have been here since they were babies. Maybe since he doesn't agree with our immigration policies he shouldn't be such a hypocrite and return to the country of his birth, although I doubt very much they are too proud of him.

(62,325 posts)I hope he's flooded with 'interruptions' on his account. Looks like he doesn't have much 'standing' anywhere, can't even find any background info on him. A real loser it seems.
His 15 minutes are not going to be pleasant for him.
malaise
(269,187 posts)that have led tot he attacks on the AG.

(62,325 posts)But I was looking for his personal background, eg, he states on his twitter account he is from Ireland, but it doesn't say which part. North, South. He sounds like a follower of the hate-monger in the North, the Rev. Ian Paisley, fundy, bigot who once said he didn't hate those demanding equal rights in that part of the world, he just 'wished they were all dead'.
But there is nothing online so far to give any clues as to how he became such a bigot.

(269,187 posts)One more ReTHUG scumbag.

(62,325 posts)The North is not part of the Irish Republic.
He's definitely a scumbag and a hypocritical one too, takes the benefits offered to immigrants and tries to deny them to others.

Does he think children of Americans citizens are being deported?

(62,325 posts)One thing he probably did inadvertently is to make Romney's campaign to get the Hispanic vote a lot less likely to succeed at this point.
Dems should attach this guy to Romney like glue.
