FLOTUS Pool Report #2

Pool was ushered in as FLOTUS began speaking at 6:07 under a white tent in the backyard of the residence of Karen Dixon and Nan Schaffer in NW DC. FLOTUS was introduced by Dixon. Debbie Wasserman Schultz also in attendance.

FLOTUS was wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt dress, with a black belt and pumps.

Most notable part of the event was an interruption from a protester about 12 minutes into the 20-minute speech. A pro-LGBT rights individual standing at the front began shouting for an executive order on gay rights. (Pool did not hear exactly what.)

"One of the things I don't do well is this," replied FLOTUS to loud applause. She left the lectern and moved over to the protester, saying they could "listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice."

Crowd started shouting that they wanted FLOTUS to stay.

"You need to go!" said one woman near the protester.

The protester was then escorted out, shouting "...lesbian looking for federal equality before I die." (First part of the quote was inaudible.) Pool could not get their name before they were taken out.

"So let me make the point that I was making before," continued FLOTUS. "We are here for our kids. So we must recapture that passion. That same urgency and energy that we felt back in 2008, 2012. Understand this -- this is what I want you all to understand. This is not about us. No one back here. It's not about you or you or your issue or your thing. This is about our children."

Loud applause in response to this comment.

Main takeaway from her speech was to stay engaged in off-presidential election years.

"We cannot wait for the next presidential election to get fired up and ready to go. We cannot wait. Right now, today, we have an obligation to stand up for those kids."

Cited the administration's work taking on climate change, gun violence, comprehensive immigration reform, student loans, gay rights.

Railed against the failure of background checks legislation, sequestration, and the budget stalemate.

FLOTUS finished speaking at 6:27, then shook hands and took pictures with attendees. Pool was ushered out immediately after the speech.

Compare the pic of Jay Carney to her. Are they twins?

Michelle Obama confronts gay-rights heckler: 'You have one choice'

Detroit Press, 6/5

Michelle Obama confronted a protester at a fundraiser on Tuesday, stepping away from the lectern where she was speaking to denounce the protester's behavior.

Obama was midway through a speech at a Democratic party fundraiser at a private Washington DC home when lesbian activist Ellen Sturtz, 56, interrupted Obama's speech to demand that Barack Obama sign an anti-discrimination executive order.

"One of the things that I don't do well is this," said Obama, to a room full of applause. "Do you understand?"

A pool report said that Obama moved towards the protester and said: "Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice." The White House official transcript did not include this remark.

Normally I really dislike Michelle Obama, but this was just right!

Hey, she says, either you can speak and I'll leave, or I'll speak as I was invited here to do and you'll shut up: which would people prefer to happen?

There would be a lot less heckling if clear ground rules like that were established at every political event. Hecklers are the trash of society, the vandals of politics.

I hope she starts a fashion for dealing with hecklers in this way.

Evidently Obama believes that transcripts of events involving him and Michele don't have to 100% accurate.

Embarrassing comments can be removed, thus pretending they never happened.

Michelle Obama heckled at DNC event, threatens to leave | The Daily Caller

The pool reported that Obama left the lectern toward the protestor saying that they could “listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”

The Democratic audience begged the first lady to stay, with one woman telling the protester,” You need to go.”

The protester was escorted from the proceedings, shouting about federal equality for lesbians. (RELATED: First lady heckler speaks out: Michelle ‘came right down in my face&#8217

The official White House transcript of the first lady’s remarks did not include the portion of the event during which Obama threatened to leave, it did include the protester’s remarks.

The official transcript reads:


So here’s the thing — we cannot wait for the next presidential election to get fired up and ready to go. We cannot wait. Right now, today, we have an obligation to stand up for those kids. And I don’t care what you believe in, we don’t –

AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)

MRS. OBAMA: Wait, wait, wait. One of the things –

AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)

MRS. OBAMA: One of the things that I don’t do well is this. (Applause.) Do you understand? (Applause.) One of the things — now –

(Inaudible audience interruption.)

MRS. OBAMA: So let me make the point that I was making before: We are here for our kids. (Applause.) So we must recapture that passion, that same urgency and energy that we felt back in 2008 and 2012. Understand this. This is what I want you all to understand, this is not about us — no one back here. It’s not about you or you, or your issue or your thing. This is about our children. (Applause.)

Good thing this heckler was at a democrat rally and so didn't have to fear for their safety

 

[LeftofLeft]

What the First Lady did was quite effective. If you are being heckled and are confident that the audience would rather hear you, get the audience on your side and get the masses to turn on the disruption. I commend her on the strategy.

What you don't hear from the Left is the cries about a small voice being silenced by a bullying mass. If George Bush pulled the exact same effective tactic as Michelle Obama did when he was being heckled or disrupted, the Left would be outraged and disturbed by the President "inciting" the audience to get the "free voice" silenced.

Hope Liberals are good with yet another precedent set by their guys and gals.

Nutters can't even tell the truth obout a documented event. Amazing


Mrs. Obama was heckled....got in the womans face and gave her an ultimatum. The GOP plant backed down and left with her tail between her legs.......Those are the facts but you people don't operate on facts. Fruckin republican POS's. No wonder America is rejecting you more and more.

GOP Plant??

ROLFLMAO.

She is a Gay Activist.

 

[eflatminor]

Care to back up this "fact" that the heckler was a GOP plant? Got a link? Citation? Anything?

Or is this the 'Because I say so' argument?

You were saying something about facts...

I can't stand the wookie myself, but I agree. The people present for that bed wetter love in wanted to hear the FLOTUS stroke their egos and they paid for it.It shouldn't have been interupted by some LGBT malcontent.

That's bullshit. The only people who get violent in large groups are bed wetting leftist savages like you.

ROLFMAO..

If true, She has such thin skin.

Not an Obama fan, follower, or supporter but at the same time she's not an elected official and I think it's completely reasonable for her to get frustrated by a loudmouth that showed up to do nothing more than disrupt her talk.

I mean I guess that's life (she's putting herself out there) but not sure why this is national news.

I mean I guess that's life (she's putting herself out there) but not sure why this is national news.

Maybe because it's one of the only things we generally like that she has done. She's been pretty unpopular.

The White House was worried about it going the other way and left it all out of the transcript!

 

[KevinWestern]

Man what a girl, am I right?

Crying is a pretty standard, normal human function.

Hmm...crickets.

Well color me shocked. RWN is a liar? Say it isn't so!!!

Michelle didn't cry.

She got the lesbian crapazoid booted out.

First time I've felt like cheering for Michelle, but Hooray!
