Man heckles President Obama at Ohio State

Man heckles President Obama




Obama heckled at Ohio State

President Obama was interrupted by hecklers at Ohio State University at least twice during Thursday's energy address at the school.

In one case, a heckler was insistent that the President read a book that he was brandishing. "Sir, I'm here to speak to these folks." 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," Obama said, instructing aides to retrieve the book. "I'll be happy to take your book, but don't interrupt everybody else. Alright?"
