Here’s video of U.S. president Barack Obama being heckled while speaking at a Martha Coakley rally in Massachusetts yesterday.
If you want Obama to get all wee wee’d up and thrown off his stride, just distract the big O by stealing the spotlight from him, which is exactly what several hecklers did yesterday.
Most politicians can keep their composure even while being heckled, but not him. Typical of narcissists, if Obama can’t have the attention of every eye in the room, he’s just not talking.
Which is kind of annoying if you’re one of the hundreds of hand picked Kool aid drinkers who came to hear their Messiah speak.
For those of you who don’t know: Democrat Coakley is in a super tight race with Republican Scott Brown for the late Ted Kennedy’s vacant Senate seat.
What makes this race so crucial is that if Brown wins, you can kiss Obama’s healthcare bill goodbye because Brown will provide the GOP with enough Senate votes (41-59) to filibuster or block the health care bill from passing.
By the way, Brown is leading in every poll, including Coakley’s internal poll. Obama’s own advisers reportedly told him privately that Coakley will lose.
But of course, Obama the narcissist won’t hear of such a thing since his legacy is on the line if the health care bull doesn’t pass. Which is why Obama personally traveled to Massachusetts on Sunday to stump for Coakley. But Obama is not as popular as he was a year ago after his landslide victory over John McCain. His presence couldn’t even fill the 3000 seat venue on Sunday.
We will be watching this race closely. Massachusetts residents cast their votes on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
