    I guess I am a little slow on the trigger. Oops.

    The guy should have been tossed. If you're there covering an event, you don't make yourself part of the story.

    According to the comments, after John Q. Fuckknob shouts demands that Obama recite the Pledge of Allegiance, it turns out he doesn't even know it himself. Good work, douchepumper. ::) ::)

    Who, exactly, did he think was disrespecting the flag?
    And when have you ever even HEARD the pledge since elementary school? I haven't been at any meetings where it was the traditional opening ceremony.
    Fuckstick.

    Maybe the guy just needed a shot of Obama saying the pledge of allegiance...

    He's from Parma. It figures.

    And yet Obama handled the shitbag with grace and class.
    Wonder what McCain would have done?

    The legislature, every morning.

    Lord Obama ought to be used to it.

    Call me a conspiracy theorist, but maybe Obama's reaction was just a little too smooth.

    Was the guy a plant? I don't know, but how does a whack job like that make the press gallery at an event like that? It's difficult enough for legitimate journalists to get there.

    Makes me wonder.

    Yeah, but is he good enough to work for the Plain-Dealer?
