You must set a very low bar for good speeches. It was terrible. He could have stopped the embarrassment any time he wanted. He didn’t because he loved every minute of it. If you really think he wasn’t in on the t-shirt deal, that you are very gullible.
I really don’t know what speech some of you were listening too.
I agree with you.
Whatever the merits of the speech, he could have, and should have, tempered the crowd to solemnity
It is unbelievable that anyone with a sense of decency could call the Wednesday spectacle anything other than what it was: something for America to be ashamed of. The minute the cheering, hooting and hollering started, I turned it off. When I tuned in again later to see if it was over, there was The One, nose in the air, basking in the glow of a standing ovation.
A standing ovation? He would accept a standing ovation for HIMSELF at an event that was SUPPOSED to be a memorial for the six persons killed by the Crazy Guy? That tells you all you need to know about this sorry excuse for a leader.
And what were Holder and Napolitano doing there, as well as other useless officials? This was an insult and a travesty.
