University of Miami got a visit from the great and mighty Obama today. The presidential hopeful held a rally on campus, but all did not go smoothly.
 

In the midst of his attacks on McCain’s position on women’s issues and the economy, about a dozen protesters showed up carrying homemade signs and interrupted the speech. CBS News has the scoop:

The group of mostly African American men held signs that read, “Blacks against Obama”, “Jesse Jackson hates Obama”, “Obama for abortions”, “Obama for gay marriage” and “Obama endorsed by the KKK.”

The “Blacks against Obama” were supposedly part of a group called “Michael Warns.” MichaelWarns.com explains that it is a site where “you will learn the truth about the current issues of the world politically and religiously.” Whatever "truth" that is.
 

Back at the rally, Obama, ever the diplomat, told the crowd the protesters could stay, but we all know that behind the scenes things were probably not as calm. Soon after the Secret Service “escorted” the group out of the event, but not before Obama supporters fought back.
 

The more than 5,000 people really gave those protesters a piece of their mind, shouting “Yes we can!” which I imagine really intimidated the group.
 

Still it was an impressive display of emotion on both sides. University of Miami students don’t usually get that riled up unless it involves football.
