All he needs are his greek columns and a balloon drop like one freeper said in the other thread. This is going to be a national embarrassment...i can feel it coming. One student’s quote:

“Officials opened the doors at 4 p.m., and the crowd cheered. Attorney General Eric Holder also is attending.
“This is going to be, obviously, a huge event. One of those defining moments in American history,” said Phoenix resident David Bier, who arrived at 3:15 am.

“The largest crowd in McKale history was the 15,176 who watched Arizona face New Mexico on Jan. 14, 1976.”

That’s a lot of t-shirts. Can anyone find out what company made them up so quickly? It’s time to update the boycott list.

The crowd ‘cheered’?....OMG.

Did I miss something? From your link, the only cheering I saw was this:

When U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's doctor Peter Rhee arrived at the memorial center, the crowd cheered as he jogged down the line in his scrubs looking for his wife and kids.

I'd stand and cheer for this man and all the staff at the hospital that did an exceptional job for all the victims of this terrible crime.

Tucson High School juniors Kiersten Jund and Melanie Hanson, both 17, had a pizza delivered to them in line. They skipped school and had been waiting in line since 10:15 a.m. for a chance to hear Obama speak. "We're probably going to learn more here than in school," Jund said. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity," Hanson said.

Yeah dude, too bad about those six dead people and all but hey, it's all good.

Uh, that “defining moment” happened around noontime last Saturday.
