Obama heckled on AIDS, gay rights at fundraiser
Quote:
NEW YORK — President Barack Obama has been heckled at a fundraiser by protesters pushing for more funding for AIDS programs and quicker action to allow gays to serve openly in the military.
Obama responded by insisting he's increased AIDS funding and was working to overturn the military's so-called "don't ask, don't tell" policy. He told the protesters to go shout at Republicans, noting that a vote on "don't ask, don't tell" failed this week in the Senate, with Republicans united in opposition.
The protest happened as Obama raised money at the Roosevelt Hotel for the House and Senate Democratic campaign committees.
Activists yelled and held signs aloft reading, "Obama broken promises kill." Supporters of the president tried to drown them out.
