Reporter heckles Obama during immigration speech

6/15/2012

Dealing with hecklers is a way of life for presidents and stand-up comics alike — but comics don't get heckled by the press corps. Neil Munro, a writer for the conservative Daily Caller website, shouted questions at President Barack Obama during his Rose Garden announcement of a new immigration policy granting qualified legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children. The president was clearly annoyed by the breach of etiquette, even as he explained his rationale for the policy. "The answer to your question, sir — and the next time I'd prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question," he said, "is that this is the right thing to do for the American people."
