As President Obama was speaking at a White House event honoring LGBT Pride Month on Wednesday, he was heckled by a member of the crowd
"Shame on you", he told his heckler, who was protesting deportations under the Obama administration. Obama responded, "Listen you're in my house, it's not respectful."
The interruption persisted, however, and Obama asked for the heckler to be removed from the East Room. Shortly after the incident, an immigration group claimed the protestor was an undocumented immigrant named Jennicet Gutiérrez, who is transgender.
The only problem with all this is that the White House does not belong to any one person or group. The White House belongs to the American people, it is OUR house, and not the property of any one resident during their term of office. For the 4 or 8 years that a President and their family reside there, everything is provided for them by the ongoing financial support of the American taxpayer.
Obama's self-centered, self-absorbed response is typical of this highly narcissistic president whose world view revolves around himself. When speaking to young people celebrating India’s Republic Day in New Delhi in 2012, Obama
went on to refer to himself an astonishing 118 times in the short 33-minute speech, touching on injustices in the United States and in his own personal life. While
giving a campaign speech to a crowd in Sandusky, Ohio on July 5, 2012, Obama said the word 'I' 98 times and 'me' 19 times during his short 25 talk. Last June, Obama
gave a 40-minute speech wherein he packed in 199 uses of "I," "me," or "my.".
So, no, the White House is not "your house", Mr. Obama. It is still belongs to the American people, and the American people think you should start packing, and get out of OUR house.
