Caught On Tape: A History of Presidential Hecklers

The President was heckled while addressing the crowd at Notre Dame. But he's not the first POTUS to be interrupted by an irate audience member...

Does pomp and circumstance necessitate call and response? Apparently at the University of Notre Dame it does. This weekend, President Obama gave the commencement address at the nation's largest Catholic university; of course anti-abortion activists took the opportunity to act the foolvoice their displeasure with Obama's pro-choice stances.

Be real people: the right wing is down to protest Obama at the drop of a hat—if he mentioned that his sneakers had laces they'd try to call him out for being an elitist who looks down on common folk who can't tie their shoes. Still, he's not the first Commander-in-Chief to have (figurative!) darts thrown at him by an audience member, as you'll see with our History of Presidential Hecklers...
