Obama Defuses Hecklers


Not much has been made of the photographer who heckled Obama at his Berea, Ohio town hall. A lone photographer in the back insisted that the Pledge of Allegiance had not been said. Obama brilliantly handled the situation, asking the photographer to lead the pledge.

For an update, video and history of this, visit my earlier post.
Obama also defused a situation at another town hall in St. Petersburg, Florida. People can diminish these events but it shows Obama works well under pressure.

I've seen McCain in similar events and he just gets his angry voice on.
