During a speech on the middle class and housing at a Phoenix, Arizona high school, President Obama was heckled by a member of the audience. (VIDEO: Christie Shouts Down Heckler: ‘Sit Down and Shut Up!’)
Halfway through Obama’s speech at Central High School, considered part of a pre-State of the Union tour to sell his policies, the heckler began yelling. “Is this about housing?” Obama asked, before the shouting stops.

It’s difficult to make out what the heckler was yelling about in the official White House video, but local media indicate that she was shouting something about Mexico, and possibly “no arms to Mexico” in Spanish.
