[Vision2020] President Obama at Tucson

[the lockshop]

Well, it's a shade more dignified then hawkers hollering get yer T-shirts 
here. I'll grant you that but still somewhat out of keeping with a memorial. 
What was much more disconcerting was the whoops, cheers, whistles and the 
occasional "we love you Obama" at any number of clearly inappropriate points 
in the procedings.
