delivered perfectly. It appeared to me that early on in his delivery even he was
a bit taken aback by the less than somber nature of the

<div><br></div>Yes, that sounds to me like more of an opportunity for the
participants to show solidarity in the face of ugliness. I think Gary is
mischaracterizing the situation in order to make the President look bad for
political benefit. Kind of ironic, considering how much he has been
railing at others for politicizing something.<br><br>-Reggie<br><br><br>
