Not sure what sort of bird it is. Obama is so real, I am so glad he is doing this.

Obama just put him in his place - I'm betting it's a Fox reporter or an AP reporrter

If he wanted to ask a hostile question during questions, ok. During his speech, WTF ?

ETA: I think President Obama got pissed by it and didn't take any questions. I can't blame him.

Obama can look forward to this sort of harassment for the next five months.

OK, now Bloomberg is talking about Monroe and stated that he is from The Daily Caller. And they are talking about how rude he is.

They are showing a replay and Obama was perfect.

OMG, I am watching Bloomberg and Mandy just called Obama's response a "presidential outburst", what a dummy/sell-out she is.

There is protocol and this was a statement not a press conference - he is fugging out of order.
I'm gload for Obama's response - Obama was very classy to respond to his question and then he jumped in again and Obama let him have it.

This is an issue Obama really believes in, he genuinely cares and that heckler tried to ruin it for him. Obama is classy, there is no doubt about it.

They must be confident they will win, because it would seem the gloves are off.

You don't interrupt the President.


Go Tamron - expose these fugging racists.
Alter says let's see what Tucker has to say.
Tucker said it is within a reporter's right to ask the President a question.

It is rude, bad behavior etc.

They are eating Fucker Carlson alive here.
