WALLINGFORD, PA. -- Barack Obama’s six-day bus tour has been chock-full of local stops through out the state, where he has had personal interactions with voters. However, during a stop at the Italian Market in Philadelphia, Obama had several testy run-ins with a man who wanted to take a picture with the senator.

Run In #1

Man: Senator, Can I have a quick picture with you?
(Obama refuses to take a picture)

Run In #2

Man: “Senator, Can I get a picture with you?”
Obama: “You are wearing me out Brother.”
Man: “I got one with Hillary Clinton and I got one with McCain, come on Senator that’s not right.”

Run in #3:

Man: “Senator, can I please, a quick one?
Obama: “No, you know what no.”
Man: “Can I just say something to you real fast?”
Obama: “Yeah, you can”
Man: “I had one with Hillary Clinton, had one with Senator McCain.”
Obama: “I am sure you do. Because when I was trying to talk to some kids – and I know look
Man: “No, my wife is a school teacher and she was there, she had to go back and that wasn’t right what wont you just take a picture with me, I'm not asking you for a autograph its for my family.”
Obama: “Yeah well whatever. Just take it. I won’t be smiling. Because you’re wearing me out. ….No no, you’ve been really rude about it. Just take a shot.”


Oh Obama, those little people sure are tiring aren't they? :eyes:

11. LOL thanks

[ProSense]

14. It's really funny. It looks like

Hillary peering into Obama's office with a "promise I'll stop lying if you give me the VP slot" look on her face.

[anonymous171]

3. old. Hillaryis44 was late on this one.

[rockymountaindem]

4. I don't expect you'd admit that guy was getting a little too personal

Not to mention aggressive, whiny and obnoxious.

8. OMFG

He's so horrible. How can anyone vote for a man who won't take pictures with annoying psychopaths?

HE MUST BE STOPPED.

I bet he eats babies, too.

[AspenRose]

9. That really isn't funny.

The Secret Service should have been on that guy. If you don't like Senator Obama, fine; but this was a serious lapse of security and that is nothing to joke about.

[islandmkl]

10. "...Just take a shot.” ....

hell, at least Barack offered him a drink....he must not have been that pissed off....

[maddiejoan]

12. Put some Rolling Stones on the soundtrack

and I'd swear Scorsese directed it.

[Bonobo]

29. LOL!

[maddiejoan]

87. Yayyyy!

made ya laff!

[rug]

13. Pfft, I hear that every night.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Every night?

:)

[dionysus]

15. is this supposed to be clever or something?

:shrug:

[malik flavors]

16. Some of you people are as bad as faux news. Why did you leave out the fact that the guy

was trying to make money off of Obama on EBAY? You know that's what happened, and yet you left that information out.

The guy was also a complete jerk. There's video of it along with this article:

<snippet>

It turned out the man was an e-Bay seller, according to campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs. He had been spotted by campaign staff at Obama's hotel earlier in the morning, and was seeking an autograph -- presumably for sale -- as well as a photograph to authenticate the transaction.

[Clintonista2]

19. LOL read the article, the guy said he didnt want an autograph

Just a picture. It also says that "it turned out" he was an ebay seller, Obama didn't know it at the time.


Check mate.

[anonymous171]

21. Actually:

"It was apparent that these guys were seeking autographs on books and magazines to sell on ebay," said Jen Psaki, a campaign spokeswoman. "They wanted a picture to authenticate the signatures. They were first at the senator's hotel and tried to get in front of third graders who were lined up to see Senator Obama. After being disruptive, the police moved them to the sidewalk. They then followed the motorcade to the second stop at the market and continued to push for a picture to authenticate whatever they could get signed."

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/04/02/politics/fromtheroad/entry3989652.shtml

[Clintonista2]

24. Actually:

Obama said, "I am sure you do. Because when I was trying to talk to some kids...." The man interrupted, "No, my wife is a schoolteacher, and she was there, she had to go back and that wasn't right... I'm not asking you for an autograph, it's for my family."


Check Mate.

[anonymous171]

34. It doesn't matter. He was being way too disruptive.

If a man accosted Hillary like that you bet she wouldn't have taken that shit.

[cliffordu]

39. Keep tossing the poop, something might stick sooner or later....

Like monkeys at the zoo: flinging crap, desperately looking for a way to stop Obama.

Desperate to kneecap the man who is plainly, inexorably wholly dismantling the Billary machine.

Just a couple of weeks now till Hillary and Bill go back to where they belong. Arkansas.

It's almost sad. Almost.

:cry:

[malik flavors]

26. Obama says in the video "you're an ebay guy and I know it" Checkmate.

Watch it.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/04/02/persistent_pictureseeker_irks.html#more

[Clintonista2]

30. The guy didn't want an autograph

And people dont buy random pictures of Obama off ebay. That's what google is for.


Check Mate.

[anonymous171]

35. Yeah they do.

Yahtzee

[malik flavors]

38. Holy Jeez...they forge the signatures. Like this:

<quote>
a picture of Hillary signing some random piece of paper as “proof” that she signed this campaign sign.

What this picture guy does is forge Obama's signature, or like 15 of them, and uses the picture on ebay to "validate" that he met Obama and the signature is "real." No one is bidding for a picture of Obama and a random guy. They bid on the "autograph." The picture is just what the guy uses to make it look like he really has real autographs....

</quote>


CHECK MATE

[Catherina]

64. You're so full of shit, as usual of course

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09jeqblwoOw

The first words out of Obama's mouth are "you're an E-bay guy" in this video.

Is there anything you're capable of being informed or honest about?

[cliffordu]

17. So, are you going to call this 'Asshole gate" because he wouldn't

stop for that asshole?

Why was that film crew following the asshole, not Obama, around???

was this a setup??

:hurts:

I would have punched the fucker in the face.....but then I ain't running for prez....

[ecstatic]

18. That guy is NOT a fan. He's a dangerous troll who, frankly,

should have been tased well before the 3rd approach happened. I'm so glad that nut wasn't armed.

[Upton]

22. You're not paying attention

The campaign claims the man was seeking to sell items on eBay, the online auction site.

"They wanted a picture to authenticate the signatures," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "They were first at the Senator's hotel and tried to get in front of third graders who were lined up to see Senator Obama."

Third graders, I guess that's ok with you. Sounds to me like this guy deserved to knocked up side of the head.

[MadBadger]

23. Now THAT guy was a Troll...Just wanted the picture to sell it on Ebay.

[Clintonista2]

28. Nobody buys random pictures of Obama off of ebay

The allegation is that he wanted an autograph to sell, which has been debunked. From the transcript:

Obama said, "I am sure you do. Because when I was trying to talk to some kids...." The man interrupted, "No, my wife is a schoolteacher, and she was there, she had to go back and that wasn't right... I'm not asking you for an autograph, it's for my family."

[dionysus]

32. is that what you really want to resort to?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

40. Those are SIGNED pictures

The guy DIDNT WANT AN AUTOGRAPH, just a picture.

56. Then why wouldn't he use the same picture over and over?

If he's done this before, as is alleged, then why would he get new pictures every single time? Why not use the same picture over and over? Sorry, but your story = FAIL.

[malik flavors]

78. Haha, i don't know. I'm not a sleezy Ebay guy. Maybe he never had a picture.

Maybe they knew who he was because he had done it to Hillary and McCain before.

Maybe they need new photos because it would be too obvious if they didn't.

Just give it up. You're wrong and you know it. You're all by yourself on this. No one agrees with you or has your back.

Just Stop.

48. Are those Annie Libowitz?

Cuz I swear they don't look like photographs...

31. Thats funny---

[DarienComp]

37. I guess I should add "Camera Shy" to my Obama Attack Wheel.

yes, I'm a self-promoting attention-whore. Sue me.

[BlueIdaho]

41. HRC Campaign Slogan - I lie better than anybody!

Really - watch me look right into the camera lens and lie my ass off - hey I don't even have to wag my finger at you like Billy - I can even lie with a smile on my face!

[JI7]

42. just saw the video and the guy is more assholish than i thought

there are jerkoffs like that all over los angeles. the secret service should have done better to keep him away.

[AspenRose]

45. Exactly

I can't believe that the safety of a presidential candidate - ANY candidate - is considered something to joke about.

The man has two small daughters, for pete's sake.....what is wrong with people?!

Bad form and poor taste. :thumbsdown:

[JBoy]

43. Yes, priority number one of all candidates should be to indulge any/all pesky douchebags.

[malik flavors]

46. Haha, now you change to an Obama avatar? We know you're a Hillary person LOL.

Are you going undercover now?

Is that supposed to give your thread more credibility?

[JBoy]

52. Yikes, that's so lame!

You're right, it just changed from Hillary to Obama!

[angie_love]

47. Why does your avatar have a pic of Obama when you're a Hillary supporter and requisite Obama basher?

[AspenRose]

50. Because s/he thinks we're idiots.

:eyes:

[ProSense]

54. S/he removed the signature image because it made Hillary look ridiculously silly. n/t

[Forkboy]

57. He thinks it's the height of cleverness.

[L. Coyote]

49. You should read than more closely, man.

Good night Dick.

[alwaysblue]

59. Obama is feeling the pressure of the campaign

He was very rude to that guy.

[anonymous171]

60. Watch the video, the guy is an asshole.

[OzarkDem]

61. Not suited to be president

Did you ever hear Bill Clinton or Al Gore say anything like that?

[Forkboy]

62. Do you support stalkers as well?

[anonymous171]

63. Actually, Bill Clinton does that all the time.

He's famous for it, actually. Hecklers get the BC treatment.

[Beacool]

65. Oh, the arrogance................

What's the matter Barrie, can't handle a photo? The man said that he already had pics with Hillary and McCain and just wanted to have his picture too. Was that so difficult to do?

[Forkboy]

66. You support stalkers often, or is this the first time?

[Clintonista2]

67. You support racists/anti-semites often? Or only when Obama attends their church for 20 years?

[Forkboy]

70. Keep trying...you're killing me.

:rofl:

[Alexander]

72. Are you uncomfortable with the truth often? Or only when a black person says it?

Let me guess - you're Herman's designated shitter.

[GarbagemanLB]

76. You support people who lie about their experiences in Bosnia?

[Clintonista2]

77. You support people who lie about only interacting with criminal Rezco for "an hour"?

And then accepting back door land deals? SAD!!!

[GarbagemanLB]

85. I'll take that as a yes. How pathetic! Blatantly lying about an experience in order to gin up the

foreign policy experience! Pathetic!

[Alexander]

90. First of all, it's "Rezko", and secondly, Patrick Fitzgerald thinks Obama is innocent of wrongdoing.

[Clintonista2]

91. You mad?

:)

[Beacool]

84. A guy asking for a picture is a stalker? n/t

[anonymous171]

88. Yes. If you read the article it talks about how he followed the motorcade from the hotel

to accost Obama at that location.

[Forkboy]

89. He was hounding him all morning.

[LulaMay]

68. I thought it was "Sweetie"..."Do you want me on my knees"?

[Alexander]

69. The guy put his arm on Obama. What did he think was going to happen?

Obama would turn to the Secret Service and say "Don't worry about this guy?"

Please.

I guess someone had to take Herman Munster's spot now that he's been tombstoned.

[Clintonista2]

71. Yay, do I finally make it on the list?

Or have I been snubbed on the updated version too?

[Alexander]

73. What list? I don't keep a list. Don't be absurd.

[LowerManhattanite]

95. The granite pillow for HM?

Damn, I miss all the fun! :)

[GarbagemanLB]

74. Wow! What a respectable response from Obama! Such a leader. That Ebay hawk was pathetic. Go Obama!

[scheming daemons]

75. PLEASE keep pushing this story.... the guy is a meatspace troll.....

...


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...


Pretty PLEASE, keep pushing this story..... it only makes Obama look good.

[anonymous171]

I don't think so.

And for the record, if someone had done that to Clinton, I'd be thinking the same thing.

Face it, there are genuine crazies out there, and people have to be careful.

Find something else to talk about, why don't you?

82. Anyone ever notice a TROLL is always the last to KNOW he's a troll?
