I’ve heard that West Point cadets do not normally applaud something that is political. So the weak applause could have just been the civilians nearby. I seem to remember how the press tried this ‘gotcha’ with GW several years ago.
Just sayin...
“I’ve heard that West Point cadets do not normally applaud something that is political.”
Exactly. But that’s the whole point: the obamanation’s bilge was clearly political. Compare and contrast to the contents of and heartfelt laughter and applause to VP Cheney’s speech for the 2007 WP graduation (even though it’s heavily edited): http://m.youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DvBKxg9zJ6WY&v=vBKxg9zJ6WY&gl=US (Sorry for the mobile link. I’m on my Blackberry. Could some freeper post a better link? TIA. And maybe pull down a copy in case Google’s YouTube pulls it because it shows by comparison how pathetic the obamanation really is? Again, TIA.)
