But, every man has his limits. Watch the video above to see how the Commander-in-Chief has responded to various interruptions throughout his two terms in office. One key takeaway: You can heckle him all you want, but when you’re an invited guest to the White House, too much heckling can get you thrown out. As Obama said after being heckled at a recent event at 1600 Pennsylvania: “I am just fine with a few hecklers—but not when I’m up in the house. You know what I mean? You know, my attitude is if you’re eating the hors d’oeuvres—you know what I’m saying?” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3936690/obama-hecklers-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3936690/obama-hecklers-video/"},"headline":"Watch a Mashup of President Obama Getting Heckled","datePublished":"2015-06-25T21:17:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:33:46.089Z","description":"\"As a general rule, I am just fine with a few hecklers—but not when I’m up in the house\"","url":"https://time.com/3936690/obama-hecklers-video/","keywords":["White House","russia","Barack Obama","Obama","Immigration"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt62cb2ef7fc2b9a80/698858483c163907304588cb/barack-obama-pride.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt62cb2ef7fc2b9a80/698858483c163907304588cb/barack-obama-pride.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"U.S. President Barack Obama (R) and Vice President Joe Biden attend a reception for LGBT Pride Month in the East Room of the White House June 24, 2015 in Washington, DC.","caption":"U.S. President Barack Obama (R) and Vice President Joe Biden attend a reception for LGBT Pride Month in the East Room of the White House June 24, 2015 in Washington, DC.","creditText":"Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3936690/obama-hecklers-video/","name":"Watch a Mashup of President Obama Getting Heckled"}}]}] ```
