Barack Obama received widespread praise for the calm and composed way he handled a heckler at a rally in Newark. Although he had announced his retirement from politics after leaving the presidency in 2017, he remained active in supporting Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey.
During the event, a woman shouted at him, and Obama responded with humor and poise: “I heard you, girl; relax. I’m here to talk to everyone, not just you. You look nice, but I’m married, and Michelle is fine too.” His response drew laughter and applause from the crowd, highlighting his charisma and ability to stay in control under pressure.
Social media users praised his composure and grace. He also used the opportunity to critique some of Donald Trump’s policies and address issues concerning voters, such as inflation, rising gas prices, and the challenges of buying a home.
