Obama loses temper in Connecticut rally
[Iran Press TV] US President Barack B.O.Obama loses his cool at an election rally in Connecticut, amid reports suggesting his party is mulling whether he should serve a second term. "Excuse me ... excuse me. You've been appearing at every rally we've been doing. And we're funding global AIDS (prevention). And the other side is not. So I don't know why you think this is a useful strategy to take," USA Today quoted Obama as saying to AIDS activists who interrupted his speech on Saturday, UPI reported. A group of activists heckled the US president over funding for the global fight against AIDS, as he began his speech for the "Moving America Forward" rally in Bridgeport in the South Side Hyde Park neighborhood. "We're not going to be able to do anything unless we get the economy fixed, unless we can put people back to work, unless folks feel more confident about the future," Obama finally regained control and continued with his speech. The Democratic Party and the US incumbent president are facing heavy losses in the second mid-term elections just days away. Most polls show Republicans are set to gain control of the House and most governorships across the United States. Republicans are expected to win over 50 seats. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... public opinion polls show Obama's popularity is hitting new lows. The Democrats themselves are also divided over whether he should be challenged within the party for a second term. Posted by: Fred 2010-11-01 |
