ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />U.S. President Barack Obama was interrupted by a heckler on Thursday (May 9) during a speech to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in California.<br/> <br />Near the end of his remarks, a man began shouting "Freedom for Ethiopia! Freedom! Freedom for Ethiopia, sir!" and the President responded, "I agree with you."<br/> <br />The man, who described himself as "an exiled journalist and freedom activist trying to raise the voices of Ethiopians," later handed out copies of a letter he wrote to the president about aiding the "oppressed people of Ethiopia."<br/> <br />Obama said, "You kind of screwed up my ending, but that's okay. We've got free speech in this country, which is great, too."<br/> <br />Obama was speaking at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose to a group of roughly 250 supporters for a DNC fundraiser.
