Heckler Interrupts Obama Speech

On immigration in the Rose Garden.

Maybe it’s the White House press corps that needs to be better screened. President Obama was heckled during remarks in the Rose Garden on Friday in which the president discussed shifts in immigration policy. The president engaged the heckler, who has been identified in reports as Neil Munro, a reporter for the Daily Caller. “Excuse me sir, it’s not time for questions sir,” the president said. “Not while I’m speaking.” Later the president addressed the heckler again. “And the answer to your question sir, and the next I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question, is this is the right thing to do for the American people,” the president said. “I didn’t ask for an argument, I’m answering your question.”
