What Irish Government funded magazine could he have worked for in the early 1980s, anyone in Ireland know? He's claiming he's in his 50s??

Ferguson finn, there is only censorship in the USA when it comes to Obama and his white house. It really is scary and is frightenly like Germany in Hitlers time. It certainly wasn't frowned upon when Bush was in, Sara Palin was maligned by the left press. This is called protecting Obama time. I am so disgusted.

If you think this is heckling in the US you've never seen Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons in the Westminster Parliament in London. Munro (if that's his real name) looks angelic compared to it.

pilib04, this is Neil Munro not Henry Munro. Neil Munro (1863–1930) was a Scottish journalist, newspaper editor, author and literary critic.

It seems that democracy is dead in America..It is the job of a free press to ask awkward questions of government as and when they, the press see fit. Unhappily there is censorship in the media of America when it should be the other way around for a so-called free press. When a reporter takes a brave stand to ask the awkward question, what happens? He is pilloried by his own peers no less. The language of some of the replies/posts etc are reminiscent of the Nazi era in Europe. Thank God we do have a free press in Ireland and politicians are not gods unlike America..I for one, would be afraid to live in America as it seems that freedom of speech is dangerous. Land of the free indeed.

He's a bit intellectually challenged I would say from this interview.
This might explain why he thought Obama had finished speaking even if he was only mid-sentence and midway through his remarks.

Teh guy has a right to make a fool of himself.
But I've never seen such hatred and demonization of the USA President. All of us need to remember that the religious base of the republican party is the southern evangelical / baptists .............While there are of course exceptions, this is the group - the so called bible belt that still long for the days of slavery and the KKK and segregation..................And whose worst nightmare has come true - our first black president.........

Henry Munro was a United Irishman. I am sure he would be disappointed in his namesake.

Refresh my memory, who was the last President who was heckled at the White House??? None, you say? So why should President Obama be subjected to it?

To the author of this article it is not unprecedented for a President to be interrupted by the press to ask a question. Go look up your history before you post your Liberal bias puke all over this page. Reagan and both Bushes have experienced this as well, therefore it is not unprecedented! I thought Munro was awesome! At least he had the balls to ask the self appointed King Obama a question! Obama never answers questions so when was he supposed to ask? He should be praised for his actions. You go Munro!
