From MSNBC’s First Read blog:

   

“Early in Obama’s remarks, there was a notable disruption, when Obama acknowledged someone standing near the press riser in the back of the Baldwin-Wallace College gymnasium here who was shouting about the Pledge of Allegiance. Learning that the pledge was not recited in the pre-program before he arrived, Obama then asked the heckler to lead the crowd in doing so, immediately putting his hand over his heart.

“We usually do an invocation and the pledge before we start,” Obama explained. “I don’t know what happened. But I’m glad this young man reminded us.””
