Anti-Keystone XL pipeline protesters are anything but willing to miss a chance to voice their complaints against this project. This past Wednesday, some of them crashed a meeting in Massachusetts and interrupted President Barack Obama's speech while he was discussing health care.

“Mr. President, reject Keystone XL,” “Stop Climate Change,” “For our generation, stop the pipeline,” are just some of the things the protesters shouted at the president.

Either Barack Obama saw this coming and prepared in advance, or he is one witty guy. Hence his quickly dismissing the protesters with a joke.

“This is the wrong rally! We had the climate change rally back in the summer,” Barack Obama said.

According to Huffington Post, authorities intervened long before things got out of control, and the protesters were escorted out. Better luck next time!

A video of the incident is available on Huffington Post.
