President Obama to Hecklers: “That Is the Wrong Rally”
[There was a video here]
A group of protesters interrupted President Obama's health care speech in Boston this afternoon, shouting “ “Mr. President, [inaudible] Keystone XL! Stop climate change! For our generation! Stop the pipeline!”
While lacking the poignancy of some of his previous responses to hecklers (not to mention the directness of his wife's excellent retort this past summer), the president seemed unbothered by the heckling, assuring the booing crowd that the interruption was “okay” and telling the protesters: “That is the wrong rally. We had the climate change rally back in the summer. This is the health care rally.”
