The song talked about Manning prison conditions

US president Barack Obama late Thursday faced protest at a fundraiser in San Francisco over the treatment of serviceman Bradly Manning,accused of leaking classified information to whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

In the middle of his speech,a woman in a white suit stood up and said,Mr President we wrote you a song. Obama tried to get her to wait until later,but she persisted and the table of 10 broke into a song that protested the treatment of Manning. The song talked about Manning prison conditions. The US Secret Service then escorted the woman out.
