 let's see how he handles it shall we?ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (CNN) – Three young African-American protestors, and two white women, interrupted Barack Obama at an economic town hall in Florida Friday, accusing the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of neglecting the black community. Watch: Hecklers interrupt Obama event The protestors — who held a sign reading "What About the Black Community, Obama?" – said the Illinois senator had not been active enough on issues of interest to African-Americans, ranging from the impact of subprime mortgages to the shooting of Sean Bell and the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Obama urged the audience – which began to boo the hecklers – to calm down, before addressing one of the men directly. “I think you’re misinformed. Everything you mentioned I did speak about,” he said, listing legislative initiatives and statements on those issues as the men continued to shout at him and the crowd began to chant “Yes, We Can,” the Obama campaign’s cheer. “On each issue I’ve spoken out. I may not have spoken out the way you wanted me to speak out — I understand, but…hold on a second,” said Obama. “What I’m saying is, what I’m suggesting is on each of these issues I’ve spoken out….The one thing I think is important is that we’re respecting each other and the way we’ll solve our problems…is if all of us come together, black, white, Hispanic, Asian-American.” http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...ty/#more-10777 meanwhile does anyone remember when McCane was in colorado a couple months ago, and they had that 60 year old woman removed from the "free speech" zone because she was holding a sign that read "Mccain = Bush" ? |

Well, anyone who would heckle Obama is obviously a racist who doesn't want to elect someone who looks different than they do.
Oh, they're black?? Never mind. |

He definitely wasn't expecting that kind of reception. It threw him off his well choreographed song and dance.
