I’m sure we can all agree that President Bush is neither qualified nor capable of answering these type’s of questions

A small group of protesters interrupted a speech by Barak Obama in Florida, Friday. The group calls itself Blacks Against Obama, and aims to show that not all Black Americans support the Democratic presidential candidate.
Obama was in the middle of speaking about the economic crisis when a roar rippled across the crowd of supporters. When the cameras turned away, they caught a glimpse several black protestors holding up signs against the Democratic presidential candidate.
The "Black Against Obama" group of about 10 protestors held up several signs, such as one that stated that Obama was for gay marriage and abortion, and another that said his candidacy was "endorsed by the KKK." Another sign said, "Jesse Jackson hates Obama."
Obama originally said the protesters could stay inside the event, but they were escorted out when they would not stop shouting and causing a raucous.
10 protesters interrupted Obama's speech and had to be escorted out of the rally by security. It is believed that this is the same group that interrupted a rally earlier in the week in St. Petersberg, Florida.

Obvioualy a plant by the other side. Notice how the signs were uniform and did not seem genuine. These are more dirty tricks from the originators of dirty tricks.

I think that in order to post comments you should have something of meaning to say. I know as americans we have the right to protest and that is fine, but you don't interupt peoples speach to call attention to yourself. If you have that much to say run for president. All protests should be kept outside where only the people that care to listen can hear them. I totally agree that they should have be told to leave. It was disrespectful not only Obama who was talking, but everyone that was trying to listen.
