Is it just me or is there WAY too much clapping going on during Bushes speeches (although this isn't a bush thing, any big speech made by a politician).
I'm not saying that there are no people would want to clap, what I mean is that do people have to clap after every five words?
And why do people that obviously disagree clap anyway?
If anybody making a speech says something I don't like I don't stand up clapping, I sit there wondring if I should walk out.
It makes it look like all those who attend are mindless sheep.
Is this the first State of the Union speech you have ever seen?
It's always like that with the clapping. No matter who is president. It used to be more unanimous, but now the Democrats seem to like to show disdain by staying seated or not clapping loudly at certain things.
I thought you would have liked the speech. There was a good amount of socialism in there tonight... Some of the more strange:
$23 million pilot plan to encourage student drug testing in public schools... WTF???
$300 million training and placement program to help newly released convicts find jobs...WTF???
That money right there alone could hire 5000-6000 border patrol agents for one year.
Kerensky.... Your rant on tax money was off the wall. Are you sober right now?
