Mi Casa Es Su Casa
Obama to heckler: White House, Palace of Versailles — same difference.

President Obama showed little patience for a protester who interrupted him at a White House Pride Month reception on Wednesday, immediately waving a finger and scolding, “Nonononononononono, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”
“Listen, you’re in my house,” said the president to cheers and applause. “You’re not gonna get a good response from interrupting me like this.”
“Shame on you,” Obama added before having the heckler removed by White House personnel.
This is really what the White House is all about. It’s the “People’s House.”
The White House is known as “The People’s House” . . .
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are committed to opening the doors of the White House and truly making it the People’s House.
