Obama Leads Heckler, Crowd in Pledge of Allegiance

BEREA, Ohio -- Barack Obama was about to speak in front of a huge American flag the gym of the Baldwin-Wallace College (home of the yellow jackets) just now, a man on the press riser screamed in protest that candidate had not recited the pledge of allegiance.

Everyone in the place started chanting "O-ba-ma" to silence the protester, but Obama hushed everyone to let the man be heard. Then, agreeing, Obama led the gym in reciting the pledge, which everyone jumped out of their seats to do.

The protester, apparently appeased, let Obama continue, and he did so, diving into another attack against John McCain on the energy issue.
