Heckler at Obama event in Berea, Ohio
Breitbart.com
A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama’s town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did.
Asked why he had interrupted the event, the man said: “He (Obama) said it was a town-hall meeting” and open to the public. He expressed dismay that Obama hadn’t called for the pledge himself, saying, “You all learned the pledge in the first grade.”
Wild Thing’s comment……….
The guy has a point and lot of guts. If he is not a plant then I congratulate him. If he is a plant to try and show Obama in some kind of Patriotic light then it stinks to use our Pledge of Allegiance in this way.
You should be saying it at political rallies! It’s not a prayer per say, but a gratitude toward this nation that we are ever thankful for what we have.
By not saying it, Obamanation shows it’s not important and being a patriot isn’t important and that he doesn’t care about you personally. He should. We pay his salary!!! And if he wants to sit in the big chair, he has to take risks. Why would anyone want to give in to a wishy washy Howdy Doody?
Lynn, he really is like a Howdy Doody. haha
I always thought they did the Pledge at the Townhall meetings but I could be wrong.
