According to a pool report, a man yelled out: “Move faster on ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.’ ”Obama is sounding more and more like Bush. I read on a blog the guy was arrested, but unfortunately, I cannot confirm that at this time.
“It’s good to see ya,” Obama replied as the crowd started to boo. The man continued to shout remarks that were inaudible to media in the room.
The interruption was the second time Obama was stopped during remarks for Boxer over the course of about a month.
In late April, Obama appeared at an event for the California senator in Los Angeles, when he was shouted down by a group of gay-rights protesters also upset with the administration's handling of the issue. The president referenced the incident on Tuesday.
"I have to say, you know what? I saw this guy down in LA," Obama said. "Two points I want to make ... he really should, like, buy a ticket to, if he wants to demonstrate, buy a ticket to a guy who doesn’t support his point of view."
Obama's smarmy remarks are a sure sign he's becoming unraveled as his tenure in office goes on. I'm still all for keeping a majority in congress, and hope that the netroots support through ActBlue continues to put forth progressives that will actually do something to save this country. But I'm done with Obama's sorry ass, and we'd better be fielding a challenger in 2012.
As Janet Jackson once sang, "what have you done for me lately?

Yeah...like his comment during a press conference regarding health care reform when he said, "and we've got the little single-payer advocates here, too..."
What a "liberal"....
