Don’t sleep on Michelle Obama.
Yesterday, a heckler in the crowd who must have forgotten Mrs. Obama was from the South Side of Chicago, screamed out during her speech … and got dealt with accordingly.
Obama was addressing a Democratic Party fundraiser in a private Kalorama home in Northwest Washington when Ellen Sturtz, 56, a lesbian activist, interrupted her remarks to demand that President Obama sign an anti-discrimination executive order.
“One of the things that I don’t do well is this,” she said to applause from most of the guests, according to a White House transcript. “Do you understand?”
A pool report from a reporter in the room said Obama “left the lectern and moved over to the protester.” The pool report quoted Obama as saying: “Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”
Of course the audience responded by saying they would like Obama to stay. A woman nearby said to Sturtz, “you need to go.”
Well damn!
And what does Sturtz have to say about all of this?
“She came right down in my face,” Sturtz said. “I was taken aback.”
Damn right!
