CBS News reports:
Barack Obama’s six-day bus tour has been chock-full of local stops through out the state, where he has had personal interactions with voters. However, during a stop at the Italian Market in Philadelphia, Obama had several testy run-ins with a man who wanted to take a picture with the senator.While that might certainly be annoying, it's not a crime. Just take the photo already.

Melissa Ewing at Shakesville has an excellent take on the exchange:
That "You are wearing me out, brother" qualifies as a "testy exchange" is a perfect example of the bar being set so low, he's got no choice but to trip over it.
Meanwhile, if it were Hillary who was slightly less than totally gracious to someone repeatedly hounding her for a photo, before relenting in the end anyway, the headline would be "Clinton Tries to Murder Photo-Seeker in Philadelphia." And if it were McCain, the headline would be "McCain: Jesus?"
