A man who originally identified himself as "John Q. :Public" interrupted Barack Hussein Obama as he began to deliver a speech at Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio, 05 August, 2008.

The man had been standing in an area for press photographers and it was later determined that the man's real name was John Quinn. Quinn interrupted because the speech began without saying the "Pledge" and he insisted that it be said.

Obama asked Quinn to lead everyone in reciting it, which they did.
