The crowd started to boo the heckler, but Obama said, “No, no.This is part of the lively debate that we talked about. This is good.” The boos became mixed with clapping and cheers. The president then won the crowd over with a quip, “You know, I have to say we actually arranged for that because it made me feel at home.” He got another standing ovation after he added, “I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I didn’t have at least one heckler.”
