ABC News' Sunlen Miller and Jon Garcia report:

Protestors interrupted President Obama’s breakfast fundraiser this morning in a San Francisco hotel, serenading him with a song that included lyrics that decry the imprisonment of Pfc Bradley Manning, held by the US government on suspicion of releasing classified government information.

“Alone in a 6x12 cell sits Bradley;23 hours a day is night; The 5th and 8th Amendments say this kind of thing ain't right,” a woman in the event sang, according to several pool reporters who were there to cover the event on behalf of the national media. “I paid my dues, where’s our change? ... we'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true; Look at the Republicans - what else can we do?”

The woman, who shed her jacket to reveal a t-shirt with Manning’s picture on it, sang the lyrics as others at the table hummed along.

There were no cameras allowed in the event and no press audio recordings were permitted to be released either.

1. Amazing how they stuck that at the end...like it was no big deal

No footage of it. CNN reporters acting like, "oh by the way..and this was funny..." blah blah blah.
I seriously doubt the President took it seriously.. "well, there's something you don't see every day"


Things have sure changed in the last few years...

2. They just laugh it off

Ignoring the real story.

5. Heh. As it is, the bush dis-administration's "accomplishments" are akin to a Super-fund site.
