I'd like to present a comparison, if I may...

Yesterday, when Senator John McCain was speaking to a crowd in California at a Memorial Day event, he was heckled by someone who referenced the 1967 USS Liberty incident.

McCain had the man thrown out, and called him a "jerk" when he resumed his speech.

Now, I'm not defending what the heckler did, and he may well have been a jerk. After all, McCain had nothing to do with that incident. Still, it kind of stands in stark contrast to Mr. Obama, who tends to take hecklers with a grain of salt and let them speak. And stay. And it all assures me that voting for Obama was the right choice in 2008, and will be again this year.
