Hecklers interrupt Obama's Cincinnati rally

President Obama is interrupted by an anti-abortion protester as he speaks at a campaign event at Fifth Third Arena at the University of Cincinnati, Nov. 4.

 

CINCINNATI, OHIO -- As President Obama tried to maximize the precious few stops he has left in crucial Ohio, his rally here Sunday night was full of musical interludes, but not without a few interruptions.

Taking the stage at the University of Cincinnati shortly after R+B superstar Stevie Wonder warmed up the crowd, the president was sidetracked by a lone protestor up in the rafters, who held a sign and yelled, his words loud but hard to make out.

“I guess y’all are still fired up,” Obama said as the crowd began a counter-chant of “four more years!” attempting to drown the heckler out.


At first the president tried to soldier through and deliver his remarks over the protestor, but he finally gave in as the crowd cheered on state troopers who pried the man away from the balcony bars he had grabbed onto.

President Barack Obama reaches over to greet supporters before speaking at in Cincinnati.

But it wasn’t over yet – there was still one more protestor who had to be removed from the arena.

“It’s okay folks. Everybody, it’s okay. We’re good,” Obama said before once again giving up until the cheering and shouting subsided.

Despite the dissonance at the beginning of his remarks, the rest of the president’s event was much more harmonious, given that Wonder played the president offstage to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” – an Obama campaign favorite.

As the band struck up the first recognizable chords of the song, most of the 13,500 audience members started to dance and clap along.

Not even the president could resist – he was seen shuffling back and forth, modestly clapping to the beat.

After his event in Cincinnati, the president headed to Aurora, Colorado, where he would be joined by singer/songwriter Dave Matthews.

The behavior by these "hecklers" is embarrassing. I understand and appreciate our fundamental right of Freedom of Speech but regardless of your political affiliations and beliefs, the office of the president deserves respect. I know President Obama has made decisions that many Americans disagree with but he is still our commander and chief.

          Obama’s ‘Sealed’ Records

          Posted on July 31, 2012

          Q: Are Obama’s early records “sealed”?

          A: No. Many records that presidential candidates don’t ordinarily release do remain confidential, but they are not “sealed” by a court. The 16 claims in a widely distributed graphic are mostly false or distorted.
          This is an example of mostly old baloney in a new casing. It mainly recycles years-old falsehoods and insinuations, most of which we covered long ago, in connection with an earlier viral email.

          But with President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign heating up, this new graphic has appeared on countless anti-Obama websites and in viral emails like the one we’ve reprinted here. Very little that it contains is new, and the old falsehoods have not improved with age.

          Nothing ‘Sealed’

          The idea that any Obama record is “sealed” is a falsehood, to start. The word “sealed” when applied to documents ordinarily refers to records that would normally be public, but that a judge has ruled cannot be released without the court’s permission. Common examples of truly “sealed” documents include records of crimes committed as a juvenile or records of adoptions. None of the claims in this message refers to records actually “sealed” in that usual sense.

          In some cases, the records this screed claims are “sealed” are actually public, and open for anyone to see. Other supposedly “sealed” records are normally private documents that Obama hasn’t released — and that other presidential candidates haven’t released either.

          So as with earlier versions, this is little more than an attempt to raise suspicions by asking for records that aren’t ordinarily made public, without any evidence that those records contain anything derogatory. We’ll take the claims and questions in the order they appear.

            Yes, look at that Factcheck.org. That's where I got my info. Point is, I am the same age as the POTUS. I KNOW you can't register with Selective Service(which was not manitory BTW in 1980) without a Social Security card. So the libby spin doctored web site is full of BS. I know he didn't "seal" his records. They are sealed unless HE releases them. But much like Romneys tax records, they remain in closed files.

              *******************************************

              HOW ABOUT SPEAKING ENGLISH????

              The Selective Service System wants you to know that the requirement to register for the military draft did not go away with the end of the Vietnam War. Under the law, virtually all male U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are ages 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service.

              Since there is no draft currently in effect, and men are not being classified for service, disabled men, clergymen, and men who believe themselves to be conscientiously opposed to war must also register.

              Penalties for Failure to Register for the Draft

              Men who do not register could be prosecuted and, if convicted, fined up to $250,000 and/or serve up to five years in prison. In addition, men who fail to register with Selective Service before turning age 26, even if not prosecuted, will become ineligible for:

              SO IT IS MANDATORY and was in 1980{thats how its spelled btw}

              AND w t f said anything about a SS card?

              You think Obama doesnt have one???

              Factcheck a "libby" website?

              LOL, you are funny

              They have and continue to point out ALL FACTS, EVEN IF OBAMA IS SPINNING

              They are a NON PARTISAN group that calls out spins or lies from whoever says them

                  In the land of the free, free speech should not be interrupted by hecklers. The president should get more respect. But TEA party extremist do not respect the office or the man. Look at the heckling President Obama got from a grown man in the State of The Union speech. This is the bigotry and prejudice the president has received since he won the presidency. This is why every TEA-Libertarian-Evangelical-Republican extremist must be removed form office tomorrow!

                    Updated on Nov. 5, 2009

                    Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?

                    A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.

                    FULL QUESTION

                    Welfare recipients, and others, can receive a free cell phone, but the program is not funded by the government or taxpayer money, as the e-mail alleges. And it’s hardly new.

                    How It Works

                    (snip)
                    The SafeLink program has actually been offering cell phones to low-income households in some states since 2008, not beginning "earlier this year," as the e-mail claims. But the program is rooted in a deeper history.

                    The president has no direct impact on the program, and one could hardly call these devices "Obama Phones," as the e-mail author does. This specific program, SafeLink, started under President George Bush, with grants from an independent company created under President Bill Clinton, which was a legacy of an act passed under President Franklin Roosevelt, which was influenced by an agreement reached between telecommunications companies and the administration of President Woodrow Wilson.

                    Wilson Phones, anyone?

                        The Telecommunications Act of 1996[1] was the first significant overhaul of United States telecommunications law in more than sixty years, amending the Communications Act of 1934. The Act, signed by President Bill Clinton, represented a major change in American telecommunication law, since it was the first time that the Internet was included in broadcasting and spectrum allotment.[2] One of the most controversial titles was Title 3 ("Cable Services"), which allowed for media cross-ownership.[2] According to the FCC, the goal of the law was to "let anyone enter any communications business -- to let any communications business compete in any market against any other."[3] The legislation's primary goal was deregulation of the broadcasting market

                            One, being an Independant..They are usually smarter then you seem to be...

                            NEXT Obama didnt lie about Bengazi, what he DID do was not just spew information that was not yet confirmed..AND NOTHING WAS CONFIRMED

                            He did say it was an act of terror

                            AND BTW, check this out

                            "Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged on
                            Wednesday that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds
                            allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the
                            majority in 2010"

                            "For the past two years, House Republicans have
                            continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department
                            personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million
                            off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House
                            Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 -- cutting back on
                            the department's request by $331 million."

                                Here we go again, saying all of these bad names against our President. STOP most of the country is not going for it. We all know that Romney is not good for this country. We all know that Romney does not stand for anything. Don't get it twisted and get out to vote for Obama. We know him, he needs a second terms to make sure we are on the right track. VOTE please and vote for the one that stands for something not just the color.....

                                The President has done a very good job, little slow but on the right track. Romney will take us back to BUSH and 1950's

                                  Yes Obama has done a very good job destroying our country.

                                  He has also done a very good job turning his supporters into a bunch of freeloaders who live off the govt trough.

                                    And here comes the name calling, the insults, you have followed Obama well.

                                    And that is another reason why he will lose tomorrow. His temper tantrums are definitely not presidential.

                                    Well this does kind of explain it all ..for anybody who has read the rabid rights posts on these vines

                                    They did a study and Psychologists say conservatism is a mental illness

                                    Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition

                                    28 Aug 2003

                                    Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:

                                    Fear and aggression
                                    Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
                                    Uncertainty avoidance
                                    Need for cognitive closure
                                    Terror management

                                    "From our perspective, these psychological factors are capable of contributing to the adoption of conservative ideological contents, either independently or in combination," the researchers wrote in an article, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," recently published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin
                                    .

                                    The paper is on line as an Adobe PDF document -> Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition PDF 600 KB ... and there is also a Google HTML cache version of the document online here -> Google Cache

                                    The researchers set as their goal the synthesis of many previous methodologies of research in the hopes of coming up with a broad definition and analysis of Conservative thought and behavior.

                                    Conclusion

                                    They list eight elements that fit into any one of these three categories...

                                    We consider evidence for and against the hypotheses that political conservatism is significantly associated with
                                    (1) mental rigidity and closed-mindedness, including(a) increased dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity(b) decreased cognitive complexity, (c) decreased openness to experience, (d) uncertainty avoidance, (e) personal needs for order and structure, and (f) need for cognitive closure;

                                    (2) lowered self-esteem;
                                    (3) fear, anger, and aggression;
                                    (4) pessimism, disgust, and contempt;
                                    (5) loss prevention;
                                    (6) fear of death;
                                    (7) threat arising from social and economic deprivation; and
                                    (8) threat to the stability of the social system.

                                                Oh, so the left wing news media is more than willing to report Romney supportors disrupting Obama's speech. But, they say absolutely nothing about the NAACP taking over an early polling place in Houston this past Friday and strongly suggesting that the voters cast their votes for Obama. Not only did they break the law by moving their positions to within 100 feet of the polling area, they actually entered it and began disruption the voting.

                                                The GOP are using their main strength,....MONEY,...financial backing,...SUPER PACS $$$

                                                ROMNEY IS ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL THE MESSAGE IN THESE FINAL DAYS WITH AN EXCESS OF ADVERTISEMENT AND PAID BLOGGERS. DO NOT BELIEVE THE GOP'S FALSE CONFIDENCE.

                                                We must fight the overpowering influence and corruption of private interests.

                                                NOW is the time to stand up and be counted !!!!!

                                                Get out and vote,...and vote your conscience. THINK,...don't react to ads.

                                                It has been typical of the GOP/right wing to confidently tell everyone that they want what they do not,...since the beginning of the Obama administration.

                                                That is the nature of propaganda. Telling half of the truth as if it is all there is to hear or consider.

                                                They knew Obama would support social change and vie for the interests of the people,...and that would get in the way of the bottom lines of the wealthy masters they serve.

                                                Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the GOP is all about corporate welfare,...and that Romney/Ryan will gladly dismantle the entire social safety net,...repeal Roe vs Wade,....and further empower corporate America to become the defacto rulers of the country, dismantling the middle class and funneling as much wealth as possible to the top few percent of wealthy Americans.

                                                Check the numbers,...THAT is what has been happening to us for years.

                                                They will continue and accelerate the growing gap in earnings. Prepare to work longer and harder for less,...until you are very old indeed. I would SERIOUSLY consider the fate of your children under the policies being offered by Romney/Ryan,...unless of course you are sure that they will be millionaires.

                                                Sure there are stagnant wages and fewer benefits for most,...but wages and bonuses for top management are soaring.

                                                I find it hard to believe that Romney is able to convince so many to vote against their own self-interest.

                                                I think we may find that the race isn't as close as Romney has paid for and would have you believe.

                                                He's BUYING the election,...flooding the airwaves with the repetition of false promises,...a platform very different than that he promoted during his run for the Republican nomination (designed to get votes - "SURPRISE"),...and lies and half truths about president Obama.

                                                I am quite sure that Romney/Ryan will do as they promised during the RNC if elected. They do not have the concern for the people that they are projecting to get votes. The middle class will be TOAST !!!

                                                Are we still a country or are we becoming nothing more than a corporate interest ??!!!

                                                WE NEED A PRESIDENT to lead a nation,...NOT A CEO/CFO to siphon off wealth for top management.

                                                These are two VERY different jobs. THINK about what you are asking for BEFORE you vote.

                                                On Tuesday, November 6th,...vote for "WE THE PEOPLE" : Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden

                                                He released WHAT THE LAW REQUIRED HIM TO DO.

                                                Now are you really that dense to believe that the IRS wouldn't have gone over all his tax returns looking for dirt for Obama? who happens to be their boss?

                                                And please tell me what branch Obama served in? Or Clinton?

                                                And I really would like to know why Obama paid so much to seal his travel and college aid records? What is he hiding?

                                                Keep drinking the Kool Aid and spouting Obama's spiel.

                                                Obama is the only candidate to keep us on the right track. Romney and Ryan want to take us back to the civil war era. So I see no other option than President Obama. If your a 1%er then vote Romney Ryan, if your one of the 99%, then you vote President Obama. I already voted 2 weeks ago and it was for our President Mr Obama.

                                                And I really would like to know why Obama paid so much to seal his travel and college aid records? What is he hiding?

                                                ***********************************

                                                Lets talk about GOP SPIEL, SHALL WE

                                                Q: Are Obama’s early records “sealed”?

                                                A: No. Many records that presidential candidates don’t ordinarily release do remain confidential, but they are not “sealed” by a court. The 16 claims in a widely distributed graphic are mostly false or distorted.

                                                The idea that any Obama record is “sealed” is a falsehood, to start. The word “sealed” when applied to documents ordinarily refers to records that would normally be public, but that a judge has ruled cannot be released without the court’s permission. Common examples of truly “sealed” documents include records of crimes committed as a juvenile or records of adoptions. None of the claims in this message refers to records actually “sealed” in that usual sense.

                                                In some cases, the records this screed claims are “sealed” are actually public, and open for anyone to see. Other supposedly “sealed” records are normally private documents that Obama hasn’t released — and that other presidential candidates haven’t released either.

                                                So as with earlier versions, this is little more than an attempt to raise suspicions by asking for records that aren’t ordinarily made public, without any evidence that those records contain anything derogatory. We’ll take the claims and questions in the order they appear.

                                                Claims #1, 2 and 4, college records. Obama’s college records are not “sealed” by a court order, as this graphic would have you believe. It would be illegal under federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) for Occidental, Columbia or Harvard Law School to give any former student’s records to reporters or members of the public without that person’s specific, written permission. Obama hasn’t released them, but neither have other presidential candidates released their college records. George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post.

                                                Claim #3, thesis paper. Obama did write a paper on nuclear disarmament for an honors course in American foreign policy during his senior year, but it wasn’t the sort of “thesis” that some colleges require for graduation and keep on file in their libraries, like those that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama released. During the 2008 campaign, reporters were told that Columbia had not retained a copy of Obama’s 1983 paper, and that Obama didn’t have a copy, either. NBC News contacted his former professor, Michael Baron, who said he looked for his copy but couldn’t find it, and thought he probably tossed it out eight years earlier in a move.
                                                NBC quoted Baron as saying the paper likely would have disappointed Obama’s critics. “The course was not a polemical course, it was a course in decision making and how decisions got made,” Baron told NBC. “None of the papers in the class were controversial

                                                Claim #5, Selective Service registration. Obama’s Selective Service registration is public. A copy has been posted publicly, and the Selective Service confirmed that Obama registered for the draft on Sept. 4, 1980, and was given registration number 61-1125539-1.
                                                Worth noting is that nobody in the U.S. has been drafted for military service since 1972, the year Obama turned 11. Obama, like other young men turning age 18 since then, was required to register on a standby basis, in case Congress ever resumes an active military draft. Failure to register is technically a crime, and disqualifies a man for federal student aid or from holding certain federal jobs.

                                                Claim #15, foreign student aid. The claim that Obama got “foreign student aid” is untrue. That wild falsehood began as an absurd April Fools’ Day hoax in 2009, which we quickly exposed.

                                                  Dan- you Idiot. There was no draft in 1980. If he HAD registered with Seective Service, he would have needed a Social Security card. I call out the bull$h!t from "Factcheck.org." It is a libby spin website. You did not have to register with Selective Service from late 1976 untilit was re-instituted in 1984. This are the Facts. I lived them. I am 50 years old. Same as the POTUS. Factcheck is baseless libby spin BS.

                                                  ONE, you DUMBSHYT, there wasnt a "draft" in 1980, but you HAD TO REGISTER into the selection....

                                                  According to Pamibe, the Social Security number now belonging to the president was first issued between 1977 and 1979.

                                                  It is a libby spin website. You did not have to register with Selective Service from late 1976 untilit was re-instituted in 1984

                                                  AGAIN, DUMBSHYT, THAT IS NOT TRUE

                                                  The Selective Service System wants you to know that the requirement to register for the military draft did not go away with the end of the Vietnam War. Under the law, virtually all male U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are ages 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service.

                                                  Since there is no draft currently in effect, and men are not being classified for service, disabled men, clergymen, and men who believe themselves to be conscientiously opposed to war must also register.

                                                  Penalties for Failure to Register for the Draft

                                                  Men who do not register could be prosecuted and, if convicted, fined up to $250,000 and/or serve up to five years in prison. In addition, men who fail to register with Selective Service before turning age 26, even if not prosecuted, will become ineligible for:
