Overzealous Woman Grabs Obama in Scranton, Secret Service Swarms
EmailSCRANTON, Penn. – President Obama strolled into the Scranton High School gym today to a rock-star welcome, but one of the guests for his speech apparently couldn’t keep her enthusiasm under control.
As Obama worked the fence line shaking hands with a row of supporters, a woman frantically jumped up and down from behind, then lurched forward to grab Obama by the arm. She clasped his hand first, then grabbed his bicep and aggressively yanked him toward the crowd.
Secret Service agents swarmed to the president’s side, though no direct intervention was needed. Obama eventually loosened her grip and continued on stage, never losing his smile.

Worst President since Jimmy Carter. I can’t wait for our country to have a real leader again instead of this guy who has been acting like he’s some kind of rock star… please Obama go away and take all your idiot staff with you and live in some OWS camp.

I’m sure he said “butter gun and bible clingers” . .. . and the clinging was because the butter made the guns and bibles so slippery.

And a right winger apparently can’t use facts to support their allegations of ‘lying’. Go ahead, prove what was said a lie.

Judy, are you meaning all those minimum wage temporary x-mas jobs we get every year. I don’t know whatever figures you are using, but either you or the Obamas falsified numbers AGAIN.
