DIamond Method” place four people around the crowd to start applause, laughter etc in the places you want. It’s a way of controlling the crowds response.

Unreal. Thanks, jenny. Did he do the (aw-naw-ah-dih-ihnt) middle-finger cheek-scratch, as he spoke those (dual-meaning) words?

Here’s a DUmmy’s take on the speech...
++++++++++++++++

You know those yellow Dummy’s Guide books? Can’t wait for the DUmmy’s Guide to Politics. It’s one page and has one phrase: ‘hope and change.’ This is what we’re dealing with folks.

The best description I have ever seen...but he has his hand on the nuclear trigger...;(

I'm sure he wouldn't know how to operate it without a teleprompter.

I really wasn’t paying close attention and that’s why I didn’t get it right the first time. I still think he was taking a swipe at those who oppose his policies. I’d suggest Obama take his own advice and start trying “the tranquil and steady dedication” approach instead of being in our faces everyday telling how wonderful he is for having done absolutely nothing for this country, much less a “community”. If he’d shut up on occasion, maybe he’d learn something about real love of country from those who actually practice and know it.

FYI ~~ a tragic tale story about one of our own heroes, a FReeper, just months back from Afghanistan he took his own life.

The military is dealing very seriously with this issue, as the suicide numbers are so sadly growing.

One thing that Obama doesn’t know, not being an American, is that the USA always has been, is, and always will be, a warrior nation. They don’t suffer fools gladly.

Of course this happens. I grieve for my fallen shipmates. But the Leftist/Hollywood meme of every veteran a psychotic bum is intolerable.

I wonder if the WH Chef has served pork at any of the dinner receptions since Obama was inaugurated? Then again, all his Muslim buddies KNOW he’s practicing Taqqiya, so that wouldn’t even matter, would it?

The not-eating of pork seems to be the last thing that goes; I had a muslim co-worker who wore spaghetti-strap tops, lived with a guy she wasn't married to, drank heavily, and never went to the mosque. But eat a piece of bacon? No way!

He wouldn’t know pork if it bit him! Then again, I guess that makes sense seeing as he’s a Muslim and all...

Oh, he knows pork.

They will DUB IN applause for the leaders (Hillary was famously booed by the police officers and firemen present and on rebroadcast, CBS dubbed in cheers and that is what you’ll find released on DVD).

This country gets more and more like 1984 every day.

I think it goes further than ostammer not just not respecting them. I think ostammer feels contempt for vets and organizations like the VFW.

Absolutely, and it’s a huge kick in the
gut to our military.

My point importantly is the need for
growing attention being paid to our
troops, who are being so overdeployed to
these hellholes and then, as Maj. Galloway
voiced many times ... their complete morale
decline to witness the press spinning and Dem
politicians bloviating and outright lying
about both the battles and the troops strictly
for their selfish partisan politics.

The troops feel that deeply .. it devastates them
that they have to even hear such garbage from back
home. These loyal warriors, are in the most God-awful
imaginable places, amongst vicious neanderthal
barbarians whom they working 24/7, sweating,
bleeding and dying to help, and their biggest
source of heartbreaking pain is from their own
homeland.

The Dems need a ‘take to the woodshed’ event by
military commanders to shake them into the reality
of the cost of their putrid, unsupportive comments
to our troops.

This is yet another example of rejection of him and his policies and character by the people who are the producers, the doers - the people who protect us, design and build useful things, make things work and have the skills to repair them when they don’t.
