Obama’s speech lasted 33 minutes 44 seconds and was interrupted for applause 51 times.
What a disgrace. Obama hijacked a memorial service and turned into a campaign rally ala Paul Wellstone style.
Even the Washington Post could not ignore the tackiness:
"The Washington Post said it is not “offering a judgment on whether or not it was an appropriate tone for a memorial service, but rather that it made for at-times incongruous sounds and images on television.”"
