Althouse: "I am just fine with a few hecklers, but not when I'm up in the house. You know what I mean?"

June 25, 2015

"I am just fine with a few hecklers, but not when I'm up in the house. You know what I mean?"

"You know, my attitude is if you're eating the hors d'oeuvres... and drinking the booze..."

Obama's standards on heckling are site-specific.

By the way, I'm fascinated by Obama's mannerisms and facial expressions in this video clip. They're quite elaborately comical.

Big Mike said...: I saw the clip and my interpretation is that he was outraged and pissed off. I didn't see any comedic effect.; 6/25/15, 9:00 AM
Henry said...: "The president gamely continued with his speech before an overwhelmingly friendly crowd."

Reporters included.; 6/25/15, 9:00 AM
TosaGuy said...: Agree with his general point, but not with calling our house where the President gets to live as his house.

But I call bullshit because he let the heckler in the door -- such people don't just walk into the WH.; 6/25/15, 9:02 AM
Charlie said...: Unfortunately, he's good at everything except being President.; 6/25/15, 9:03 AM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: I thought Obama handled that exceptionally well, though I felt kind of sorry for the heckler. It's like someone set her up to go on a suicide mission of personal humiliation. No one should be that gullible or that desperate. Kind of makes me wonder what else is wrong with her.; 6/25/15, 9:09 AM

When he comes into "Obama's house" which isn't really his house, he kicks him out. But when he's illegally in our house? Obama is just fine with that.; 6/25/15, 9:27 AM

jacksonjay said...: Does Obama hate Lesbians? I noticed the assembled crowd was about 95% men. "Up in the House! Know what I mean?"; 6/25/15, 9:45 AM
SteveR said...: I had a hard time seeing, the WaPo should have linked to a video feed from one of the 800 other videos being shot, the ones in the way!; 6/25/15, 10:17 AM

Bilwick said...: I love Obama's Mussolini-esque chin-tilt. It reminds me of a quotation game I like to play with "liberals" (and by "liberals" I mean of course "tax-happy, coercion-addicted, power-tripping State fellators"), "Mussolini or Obama." You pick a particularly statist quote from Mussolini and they have to guess who said it, Il Duce or Il Dufe. (It also works as "Mussolini or Hillary?"); 6/25/15, 1:28 PM
Petunia said...: Obama is a total ass, but the illegal alien is worse. She (or he) shouldn't even be in the country, let alone in the White House, and has absolutely no right to demand anything from anybody in this country. Send her (or him) back to Mexico and see how being transgender there works out.; 6/25/15, 3:43 PM
TrespassersW said...: Liar. He is never fine with hecklers. He is the Light Bringer, the Magic Negro, Barack Hussein Obama, mmmm-mmmm-mmmmm. He's a better policy guy than his policy guys, a better speech writer than his speech writers, a better political strategist than his political strategists. His farts don't stink. How dare you ingrates heckle him?; 6/25/15, 4:59 PM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: Everyone would have a good chuckle if someone tossed a couple of shoes at him, though, right?; 6/25/15, 6:14 PM
Janette Kok said...: My attention was caught more by the many phones and even an i-pad being stuck up in the air to take pictures and videos. Also, when the camera pulled back I noticed the crowd was almost all men, just a very few women. And those few, almost all African-American. I don't know that there's any meaning to attach to any of that. Just interesting.; 6/25/15, 8:35 PM
averagejoe said...: Makes me hate Obama even more. And the crowd of ass-kissers cheered him on and chanted O-bam-a! O-bam-a!...Gawd, I hate them even more now too... Despicable pathetic progressive democrat idiots worshipping a lying corrupt conniving arrogant con-man- That kind of crowd is where Dylan Roof and Dzokhar Tsarnaev and their ilk should go to do their Lord's work...; 6/26/15, 12:05 AM
