Showing Original Post only (View all)Obama to heckler: "Show me some courtesy" [View all]
Source: CBS News
President Obama chided a heckler at rally on Thursday at Ohio State University, telling the man, " sir, I'm hear to speak to these folks, you can hold your own rally, you're being rude."
The crowd erupted in cheers supporting the president but the man kept shouting. He wanted to give Mr. Obama a book.
With a grin on his face, Mr. Obama said he would be happy to read the book and added, "show me some courtesy."
The president motioned to Secret Service to get the book from the man.
