The “Corpsman, get that woman a drink of water. she looks faint” magic has faded.

In his final campaign swing, President Obama rallied voters Sunday in Connecticut and Pennsylvania for Democratic gubernatorial candidates, but his first rally of the day was interrupted several times by protesters demanding more lenient immigration policies.
Mr. Obama’s event for Gov. Dan Malloy at a high school in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was roiled at the start by incidents of people heckling him and forcing him to stop his prepared remarks. Police hauled two young men out of the crowd after they repeatedly shouted down the president; one was wearing a T-shirt that said, “Obama Deports Parents.”
“The Republicans are blocking immigration reform,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s one more reason we need a Democratic Senate.”
After the young men were led away, Mr. Obama said, “Let’s try again.” But a few moments later, a woman started screaming at the president.
Mr. Obama again halted his speech to say “I am sympathetic” to people complaining about the lack of immigration reform in Congress.
“That’s why we fought for immigration reform,” he said. “It’s the other party that’s blocking. Unfortunately, folks get frustrated and they yell at everybody.”
