"Obama yells at elderly Iowa voter." "The lady that heckled Obama."
Elderly - at 64?? I guess Hillary is elderly too.

Heckled?? Asking a question, even combatively, is hardly heckling.


The art of spin sure as hell isn't lost on DUers!!!

2. Asking a question and not really looking for the answer is heckling. n/t

5. Well, it usually involves harassment or badgering...
It's a bit of a stretch ~ or spin ~ to say the woman was heckling.

3. If true, this reminds me of Dean 2004
- though it may play worse as she's female.

6. The whole story seems crazy to me...
Obama didn't "yell."

The woman wasn't an "elderly" voter.

She didn't "heckle" him.


It's entertaining to read all the spin around here ~ I just hope people realize it's spin.

15. Yes, but without the spin...
Here's the spinless story: A woman asked Obama a question. He answered it. She said he did a good job. The end. lol

7. I saw a one minute and 42 second clip of this on of all places Fox news website.
The sound quality was better and he was NOT yelling at the woman. And, I don't think 60+ year olds in this day and age consider themselves elderly. My aunts still act like their 40.

Also, the woman said afterwards that she was a republican and she didn't think ANY Democrat would be tough enough on security. She said Obama did a good job.

And the woman didn't heckle him either.
