Even before the speech it started.
I missed the very first part but during the intro, before the prez was even on, the commentator said something to the effect that this was not the correct place to have this speech because energy was hard to come by in NO. I don't remember the words exactly but if somebody recorded it they could review and post the comments that took place before the speech even started. I am not even sure of the network but it was one of the big 3.
Yes I heard the energy thing, but they didn't followup with the fact that the energy was provided by generators brought in by the White Hhouse.....
