I seem to recall some group doing that to President Bush and I thought it was horribly disrespectful.....so it would be perfect because even the audience could do the same - it would make a powerful statement.
i don’t have a good read on the feelings of the graduating class on this. if there won’t be a majority standing and turning their backs, would that be good? i am still hoping that Obams will be worried about potential controversy and look for a way out via pretext.
