Thank you. It sounded like Amazing Grace at times, then not so I wasn’t sure.
Tomorrow is the big day there.
At least they didn’t prohibit religion from this event, unlike Bloomberg in New York.
Really, a simple memorial would have been enough, cordon the area and declare it sacred ground. All the time and BS not necessary. I hate when self-important people, politicians like THIS one, use an occasion like this to congratulate themselves and their “colleagues” when THEY ARE NOT THE HEROES.
(Did someone in the audience just holler out?)
Thanks, agreed.
Of hundreds of attendees, I see only one black person. What drives this phenomenon?
Why are you counting the color of their faces?
Are you racist? Or a merely a bigot? Or a liberal-socialist
Yes, it is wonderful to see OUR First Couple.
The question is, will we ever get to hear him speak?
(Good to see you too.)
Fox has it streaming and on tv. Has President Bush spoken yet? (I had to race the dog to the groomer, just got back afew minutes ago...dork Salazar spekaing right now...sending an insipid memo from Jimmah Carter?????? Gimme a break.
Cost over 58 million dollars!!!! For 274 acres of land and some cement!
What’s with all the different flags ?
What the heck? He’s reading a letter from Jimmah Carter before GWB has spoken? What madness.
Am I the only one who thinks that Salazar looks goofy in that cowboy hat?
W speaking now.
He’s on now and ..... I have tears.
MUST GO VIRAL
Ground Zero Memorial FLASH SINGING of Amazing Grace When Bloomberg Spks
PLEASE HELP US GET THIS VIRAL FAST!
All of you in attendance at Ground Zero for the 9/11/11 Memorial Service.
When Mayor Bloomberg begins to speak let “Amazing Grace” FILL THE AIR”
The Mayor can keep our Clergy out, but he can’t keep ALL those in attendance from singing.
No. There is no excuse unless he has recently had surgery on his scalp.
Me too, you can tell he is close to tears as well. As goofy as GWB may sound, he always sounds sincere. He may not be a perfect person, but he is a good man. God Bless him.
True, so true.
The fight was against the liberal-Muslims-socialist-anti-Christian-arty-types who were demanding a crescent-and-hammer (er,star) as the focus of the monument. The same who wanted to memorialize the hijackers who killed the Americans on the plane: It would be adding a tablet in Germany at the Berlin Wall to those Communist guards who died of pneumonia while herding their political prisoners in Siberia.
The speeches of the last President and his cabinet members are the only ones I am interested in.
The ones by the current administration are only window dressing and hypocritical for the most part. Aren’t these the same people that told us that everything was done wrong in those days?
One of the lessons of 9-11 was that evil is real...and so is courage. -George W. Bush 9-11-11
