Raw Video: Obama Interrupted by Hecklers [© AssociatedPress] - YouTube
Hecklers apparently connected with the
Occupy Wall Street movement interrupted President
Obama’s speech Tuesday at a high school in Manchester, N.H.
The president had just begun his remarks, urging
Congress to expand a payroll tax cut, when a protester in the crowd shouted “mic check!”
Mr. Obama stopped speaking as other protesters shouted in unison, “Mr. President — over 4,000 peaceful protesters — have been arrested.” The call-and-response tactic has been used by Occupy protesters in other locations around the country.

President Obama
hugs an increasingly
unpopular,
vulgar, and lawless movement.
The Hill reports that after President Obama was heckled by protesters at an event in New Hampshire, he said:
“I appreciate you guys making your point; let me go ahead and make mine,” Obama said before continuing his speech. “I'll listen to you, you listen to me, OK?”
A few minutes later, Obama acknowledged the Occupy protest movement again, saying: “You are the reason I ran for office.”
