President Obama Heckled at Ohio State University

One heckler at President Obama’s speech to Ohio State University today may have just redefined the phrase “throw the book at him.” For while no actual throwing occurred, the man may as well have done so, he was so persistent in insisting the President take his book that the President had to personally ask him to be quiet.

“Sir, I’m here to speak to these folks,” President Obama said. “You can hold your own rally. You’re being rude…I’m trying to talk to these people.”

“I’ll be happy to read your book. If you want to give me your book, I‘ll be happy to read it but don’t interrupt my conversation with these folks. Show me some courtesy,” the president said, telling secret service agents to get the man’s book.

“I’ll be happy to take your book, but don’t interrupt everybody else. Alright?”

See the president get heckled via Politico:

“Activists organized a protest Thursday outside the university, criticizing the president for throwing his support behind the southern portion of the Keystone Xl oil pipeline,” The Hill reports.

However, according to The Hill, the heckler may not have been associated with the Keystone protest.

“We didn’t tell people to interrupt the President, but clearly there is a lot of emotion around this issue, so I’m not surprised someone blurted that out during the talk,” said Jamie Henn, spokesman for one of the anti-Keystone protest groups.

      Let’s pray that our youth will wake-up and see the truth! Obama is an enemy within who is pure evil! Sadly, there are too many on both sides throughout the country that is too. The intelligent non-conforming youth will see the truth. The naive and brainwashed will not.

      Oneday, they will be the ones who will wake-up and see they’ve been duped!

      What Mr. Obama‘s government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh’s government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?Well, I tell you this – I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will…

      Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..”

      And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We
      pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government.

      In God We Trust…

      It is to bad when Obama dose not like the way his mentor trained him, that is to talk over other people so as to make sure they can not get thier Ideas across. This Alinsky training is standard practice for community organizers.

      Then the Secret Service Agent held up the book and told Obama that it was ‘Rules For Radicals’ and Obama said, “Thanks but I already have several copies maybe you can donate it to one of your local school teachers so she/he can teach it to their students.”

    He needs to be heckled about why he and Hillary Clinton are BYPASSING CONGRESS to give $1.5 BILLION to the Muslim Brotherhood for military aid!!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2S1mJAxMzA

    How do you feel about donating $5 to HITLER? This is basically what Obama and Hillary are doing. $1.5 BILLION comes to about $5 for each of the 300 million U.S. citizens. Every man, woman, child and baby are being TOLD, not asked, to give $5 to people who hate Americans, (they just kidnapped a few U. S. citizens a few weeks ago) hate Christians, hate Jews, and hate all that we stand for. Not only that, we will have to borrow the money from China and pay interest on that $1.5 BILLION!

    It is Congress’ DUTY to appropriate taxpayer money, and Obama and Hillary think they can just do whatever they want! HOW DARE THEY???? WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE????? Where are the rest of Congress, John Boehner, all of us??? This money will eventually be used against us or future generations. When do we stand up????

      Don’t know who wrote this but he clearly sees the problem we face:

      “The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
      entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far
      easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore
      the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate
      willing to have such a man for their President.
      The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a
      mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should
      not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their
      prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to
      survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.”
