OWS protesters interrupt Obama's speech (VIDEO) — RT

there is something that Occupy Wall Street Movement uses to communicate en masse, where one person shouts a sentence and the crowd repeats it like a human bullhorn. this “human megaphone” methodology, where one person shouts and everyone else chants what he or she is saying, works really well when used right. here, it did not. “Mic check,” a lone voice yelled during the president’s speech, which prompted a boisterous echo from other protesters in the crowd. A series of call-and-response quips ensued, overwhelming the president and causing him to momentarily stop his speech. “Mr. President: Over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested while banksters continue to destroy the economy,”protesters proclaimed. “You must stop the assault on our First Amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.” You can tell the President Obama tried to listen, but as soon as the unruly people started to chant "fired up etc..." he stopped. With dignity and poise, he thanked them for their effort to be heard and asked them to hear him out then he would listen to what they had to say. “We’ll be talking about a whole range of things today and I appreciate you guys making your point,”responded Obama. “Let me go ahead and make mine, alright? And I’ll listen to you and you listen to me.” The president added to the crowd, “You’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place.” i would like to hear what happened after his speech. i do not believe this should have been called "heckling" according to the press. they should have used the proper term for what they were doing... "human megaphone". now if this had worked out better, their "human megaphone" speech would have made it to actual media like the OWSers did with Michelle Bachman. have a listen: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/occupy-wall-street-protestors-interrupt-michele-bachmann-speech/
