I’d like to know who organized this fiasco last night. That hasn’t been discussed yet as far as I’ve heard. I’m betting the Univ. of Arizona had a major role, which is why their Asshat President treated the whole thing like a big pep rally and seemed to bask in his 15 minutes of fame. I actually think the raucous tone of the thing caught even Obama by surprise. What must people in other countries think when they see clips of a “memorial service” with T-shirts and boos when the AZ Governor speaks?

Yet he stretched his 10-15 min speech out to 34 minutes. And he couldn't help fist-bumping at least one person after the speech when he met them. Fist-bumping at a memorial, class act!

I hope so. I thought his speech was okay for the event. Didn't see it, just read the text. However I'm completely embarrassed by and for the crowd by both the cheers and the boos. I'm not angry...too embarrassed to be angry about it actually.

Every one of the people in the crowd that treated it like an Obama appearance pep rally and not a memorial event should be ashamed of themselves.

Now the t-shirts on the other hand I'm pretty mad about. I mean whose stupid idea was that?

Obama and the University planned this RALLY. See the below link showing that the printed T-shirts with the slogan "Together We Thrive" came from Obama's ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA Feb. 11, 2008

Scroll down in the thread

Together We Thrive

They think the socialists have won.
