Obama To "Occupy" Protesters: "You're The Reason That I Ran"
A group of protesters interrupted President Obama's speech Tuesday in Manchester, N.H.
The Hill reports:
The president smiled through the disruption, saying: "No, it's OK," as other parts of the crowd sought to hush the protesters by chanting his name and old campaign slogan, “Yes We Can.â€
"OK, guys," Obama said after supporters drowned out the hecklers.
"I appreciate you guys making your point; let me go ahead and make mine," Obama said before continuing his speech. "I'll listen to you, you listen to me, OK?"
A few minutes later, Obama acknowledged the Occupy protest movement again, saying: "You are the reason I ran for office."
