[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I’m watching, but not listening. LOL! Looks like he has gone for the older, grayer, wise black man look.

Damn, maybe I’ll turn it up just a little bit.

[HiJinx]

Fanfare for the Common Man, done live, and done poorly.
JMHO.

The composer changed too many notes, it’s off.

[publana]

I simply cannot believe this. Have they no decency? No sense of decorum? This is supposed to be a MEMORIAL.

[Gritty]

I can’t believe people are cheering at a memorial service...

[SueRae]

This is sickening beyond comprehension. Poor Mark Kelly, I don’t know how he can stand this. And I cannot imagine that little girl’s parents in that audience. Or Judge Roll’s.

[Palladin]

“only if FReepers here suggest there is something worth hearing.”

I personally enjoyed watching Obama flinch as the orchestra drums started out sounding like gunshots!

[Red_Devil 232]

Yes there was! And what kind of music is this for a memorial? Sounds like a roman movie!

[JouleZ]

Together We Thrive Tees @ a memorial is disturbing. So is the list of speakers except for Gov. Brewer. Jeez, poor Arizona should have rallied and said “No”!

[tapatio]

How about some prayers for the dead and wounded .... and some justice!

Brit Hume just said there were no ministers at this memorial.Just a Native American blessing.

[Right_in_Virginia]

See the Flotus is dressed in her respectful, mourning lavendar.

[hugorand]

What the Hell is all the cheering about?

This may trump the Wellstone memorial. They just can't help themselves.

[sarah palin rocks]

I join you in being appalled. More cheering as if they were at a concert.

[AGreatPer]

There will be no minister or a person of faith speaking.
Just a native American blessing.

[Rennes Templar]

Sounded like mostly young people cheering for Zero. We have raised a generation of numbskulls.

[Deo volente]

Six people dead, and many wounded, and they’re having a giant pep rally.

Disgusting.

[Interesting Times]

I can’t believe people are cheering at a memorial service...

They're not, because it isn't.

[opentalk]

This is weird

[don-o]

Decorum is an outmoded concept - an artificial construct created to keep the people from fulfilling their magnificent destiny.

[Red_Devil 232]

And the Native is pushing his Mehican heartage!

[Red Steel]

This may trump the Wellstone memorial. They just can't help themselves.

It appears to be heading that way.
