Another feature of the Obama campaign is the unruly audience. CNN reported in October of 2008 <ref>http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,3565842635.aspx</ref>, that people are calling John McCain a terrorist at these events. According to Sen. McCain, "I've heard the [label terrorist], unfortunately, at Senator Obama's rallies being said about me. There's always a fringe element." Other eyewitness reports are harsher.

==Child pornography arrest and conviction==
In November 1997 Obama was arrested after child pornography images were discovered on the hard drive of a Toshiba laptop that he had taken to the Honolulu Cribbs Causeway branch of PC World for repair. As a result, he was lampooned in both US and UK media over the allegations. Additionally, his appearance in the Spice Girls' film Spiceworld The Movie was cut. Nevertheless, a truncated edit of the scene, featuring a version of Obama's inauguration speech, was still included in the film.
Obama was convicted of possession of child pornography on 12 November 1999 and formally classified as a sex offender, serving two months of a four-month sentence in Horfield Prison in Honalulu. He was also charged with having sex with an underage girl, Alison Brown, around twenty years earlier, when she was 14 years old. Obama was acquitted of this charge after it emerged that Brown had sold her story to the News of the World and stood to earn more money from the newspaper on Obama's conviction.[14]
After U.S press revealed his whereabouts in Spain, Obama reportedly attempted to move to Cuba in 2000 but was thwarted after the Cuban Consulate in Washinton D.C was tipped off and his picture and real name sent to all Cuban ports. He then went to Cambodia, where there was an uproar over his presence which led Cambodian authorities to expel him in 2002 ostensibly for being 'a threat to the security of a country and to the national image of Cambodia'. He had been jailed for three nights in that country on suspicion of sex offences, but was not convicted of any crime.
