During an Obama speech in Coral Gables, Florida, a group of protesters interrupted Obama’s rambling about home values going down. The group, Blacks Against Obama, had various messages on the signs including something about the KKK and abortion. So far I have not found a picture good enough to make out what the signs say.
Obama says it’s fine for them to have their signs but they need to let him finish what he has to say, although the group is promptly physically escorted out by a swarm of security personnel.
Let me make a couple of things clear. I’m not criticizing Obama or his supporters or those protesting Obama. Obama went there to give a speech, his supporters went there to hear that speech. So it is no surprise that when someone interrupts said speech they might not receive a real warm welcome. If it is disrupting the event then they probably should be removed. The protestors have every right to protest, I think it may have been better if they had done so outside. Still, I like that more and more people are voicing their opposition of Obama and that that opposition is even getting media attention.
