Yeah, Fox showed a video behind the audience, showing Moochelle applauding - they had a circle around her highlighting her applauding while others around her hadn't started. But they didn't say she started it. Very unprofessional of her, but that's normal.
Well, it was a stupid applause line. ZER0caught in a lie and Moochelle applauds.
The country was better when she was not proud of it.
“But they didn’t say she started it. Very unprofessional of her, but that’s normal.”
I watched the clip again a little bit ago and you can not see who starts the first wave of applause (at least I didn’t.) But as Romney - who had been erupted by Crowley - began to retort Crowley’s assertion you hear a clear attempt by someone to initiate another round of applause (a couple people briefly join in) and then an overhead camera is switched to for a couple seconds and you see M. Obama clearly clapping essentially by herself.
SO if you go back and repeat the clip at that point where Romney begins to speak and isolate the loudest clap in your mind, when that camera switches to above M. Obama it is clear, acoustically, that she started the brief and quickly fleeting round of clapping.
Conclusion: M. Obama purposely attempted to disrupt Romney, provably so in Romney’s retort to Crowley. Goes to prove that having money doesn’t mean one has class.
