He stepped on some applause to that line and Cameron tries to say it was as if Fred did not know the tempo of his own speech... and it was extremely obvious that Fred was not in search of an applause line but only of honoring an Honorable Hero. They referenced osama getting 18 applause lines, while Fred got 11... but they were hugging Fred and showing love when Fred took the podium... osama not so much!

I saw it also, and agree with your comment 100%.
Had to double check to see what channel was on.
I caught that. It was the lead story on Brit Hume's show today. A highly predictable hit piece. Fox made it sound like Obama was a huge hit with the vets and FredT was out of his league. If you watch Thompson`s entire speech you see it was pretty good. Folks have to realize, FredT isn't a speed talker. OTOH. FNC is fair and balanced, and for Rooty Toot! LOL
What he said was good but it needed editing and rehearsal. I was disappointed.
