When someone heckles Obama, crowd boos, Obama fights back.
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:55 AM by Drunken Irishman
Some assholes starts shouting down Obama and his crowd starts booing and Obama tells them no, that he'll speak to the protesters after the rally. He was calm, cool and made the protesters look like complete assholes. He didn't shout them down, let them yell their bullshit "abortion is abomination", asked if they were going to do it the whole time and if he needed to reschedule and waited for them to be removed.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM MY FUTURE PRESIDENT!

Thank you Obama for not lowering yourself to their level.

7. From my many Planned Parenthood rallys, you do not engage the counters.
Arguing with them does no good and only excites them more.

10. So Obama's 100% rating from Planned Parenthood
Illinois should be perfect for you. But that's me.

13. I missed his courageous stand in response to the protesters.
I guess he's reaching across the aisle to them.

5. They were probably Ron Paul supporters...
I know they infiltrated John McCain's rally too. They're annoying as hell...

8. The Paul cult is a new factor in american politics. Mislead anarchists
