CNN is taking a commercial break during this important speech.
Only got a glimpse but it’s stretches most of the way down the Mall. Melanie’s there, wearing one of her typical white outfits.
In honor of the occasion, Melania has dressed up as Dr. Benjamin Franklin.
“The only president of the United States…who was never…president of the United States.”
I hope he doesn’t declare war on Iran during the commercial. :eek:
Ok, the flyover is a disgusting display. This whole “woot military” thing is disgusting, IMO. This is Independence Day, not Military Day.
Not many people know they’re all dead.
White ones though, right? No nasty Muslim Gold Star families.
I hope it’s one about laxatives. Or mental illness treatment pills. That awful “bi-polar disorder” ad springs to mind.
Talk five minutes, couple planes fly over. Talk five more minutes, couple planes fly over. Pacing, man, pacing. This ain’t got it.
Obama used a teleprompter for speeches but the delivery was better because he familiarized himself with the material before hand.
Holy hannah! Is today American Independence Day, or is it Let’s Glorify the US Military Day?
ETA: Ninja’d by Bo.
Applause seems pretty restrained.
Doesn’t appear to be any people of color other than that guy from the Woolworth’s counter.
When is he going to honor the brave men and women who got draft deferments due to bone spurs?
Sorry; my bone spurs are acting up…
Those are the SAME THING,you commie fascist traitor!
“And he wrote two words: Semper Fi”
Fidelis, you fucking twit, Fidelis.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only person thinking it, to be honest. Thanks.
I noticed that as well.
Plus, he could…well… read.
Hey, did you know we got an Army, too?
I’ve learned quite a lot in the last 40 minutes or so.
