1. I was there and didn't hear anything
I was pretty close to the front and off to the side. there was one point where it looked like there was some sort of commotion in the back and I noticed a couple of the TV cameras turned to cover it, but I couldn't tell what happened or what was said. Obama certianly didn't notice anything, or he chose to ignore it.

I didn't hear anything..nothing remotely to a hecklefest as claimed here..there was a little bit of commotion..but later found it was a bunch of people getting sick. I've noticed for these local events that POTUS does attend in DC/MD/VA area, there seems to be a bunch of older,white, retired people that like to stand outside and heckle people going in..I volunteer at a lot of these events..seems to be a well organized heckling crew..this aint it

6. did you notice the LaRouchie standing outside at the end?
wearing a placard saying to invoke the 25th amendment and passing out LaRouche lit. He looked pretty crazy, and was old and white.

7. I watched the longer...
clip, and it certainly appears that someone wanted their 15 mins. of fame. Could have been a plant. Looked like they wanted someone to "start" something with them. Also at the end the guy was complaining his back hurt...makes me wonder what kind of spin will be put on this.

Maybe he wants to be O'Keefe's new partner.

Still shamelessly trying to
attract attention to himself.

10. Only in the second vid--I suspect it was edited in, There's no indication
in the first (obviously UNedited) video.

I don't put anything past the cretins--or the press, even.

11. I think the two videos were from two different people...
and the person that says his back hurts seems to be the person filming the video not the guy that was thrown out of the rally.
