Obama scolds three black protestors in Florida.
2008-08-03
I smell 'setup' ...
Barack Obama got into a heated exchange with a group of protesters during a speech in Florida on Friday who accused him of ignoring the black community. The commotion started when three young black men stood up in the middle of Obama's address on economic security, holding a banner that asked, "What about the black community, Obama?"

As the men starting shouting, Obama turned around and tried to calm down the crowd, which booed in response to the protesters and initially prevented Obama from continuing with his speech.

After the crowd started chanting "Yes we can," drowning out the three men, Obama scolded them. "Young man, this is going to be a question and answer session -- you can ask your questions after ... sit down," he said. "You don't want to disrupt the whole meeting. Be courteous, that's all."
