The White House media pool wrote that President Obama's motorcade left the restaurant Fig and Olive at 9:26 pm and reached the hotel at 9:34 p.m. So far the timing of his moves across the Westside seems to be smooth and on schedule. (Yes, Obama took a chopper from LAX to Brentwood, as expected.) The media pool describes the one public glitch that occurred at the House of Blues, after emcee Jesse Tyler Ferguson of the TV show "Modern Family" greeted Obama by saying "The end of ‘Don’t ask, Don’t Tell’ is the signature achivement of our time." Obama came out to wild cheers.
At that point, a bearded young man standing in the front row closest to the stage began shouting, completely disrupting the event: "Christian God is the one and only true living God, the creator of Heaven and the Universe.”Someone threw a jacket toward the stage. Obama said: “Is that his jacket?”
The guy being carried out: "I love Jesus. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is the son of God.”
Obama just stopped speaking and smiled uncomfortably at him as the crowd booed loudly to drown him out. Eventually, police and Secret Service dragged the man through the crowd and out of the theater.
Obama: “Make sure he gets his jacket." Crowd laughs. But the jacket belonged instead to a woman....
The man was still being escorted out and yelled: “Jesus Christ is god, Barrack Obama is the antichrist!"
Obama then said: “Alright where was I? It is good to be back in LA.”
