Real/Fake photog jumps on stage at Obama meeting
A man identified as John Q. Public disrupted an Obama town hall meeting in Berea, Ohio and asked why the Senator hadn’t called upon the crowd to recite the pledge of allegiance. The photog. was invited to lead the crowd in the Pledge, and then returned to the photographers row where he continued to photograph the event after the invocation.
I’m not surprised with how smoothly Obama handled the situation – I am surprised by the audience reaction to the “heckler.” They were shouting him down and chanting Obama’s name. The Senator had to calm the audience, which he did after a few seconds. Well played, Senator.
Kinda cool…
