This past Friday Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama held a rally at the University of Miami that was briefly interrupted after a dozen or so protestors began to wave homemade signs.

The group of mostly black men held signs that read, “Blacks against Obama”, “Jesse Jackson hates Obama”, “Obama for abortions”, “Obama for gay marriage” and “Obama endorsed by the KKK.”

The protestors are said to be part of a Miami based group called “Michael Warns”.

The crowd of over 5,000 people at the event shouted the hecklers down by chanting “Yes we can! Yes we can!”

Obama paused briefly and tried to calm the crowd down by saying, “Hey young people out there – it’s no problem for you to put your signs up, but let everybody – let me finish what I have to say, alright?”

The group was escorted out shortly afterwards by security and with Obama saying, “Alright guys, see ya! Alright, lets get back to work.”
