    if I were a brilliant orator I would hate speeches like this because artificial interruptions for ovations really fuck up the natural rise and fall of the speech

    Imagine the bitching if he didn't let them

    Obama wouldn't let people clap for his speech. TERRORIST?

    Totally, it's such a cockslap for me to hear him being interrupted in the middle of an inspiring paragraph.

    Man, Joe looks really tired of standing up all the time

    It's like every time he's like "okay, gotta stand up again, christ almighty"

    Oh Joe, how I love you

    If you're good enough to play at this level, you're good enough to not just account for the interruptions but harness them to feed into your rhythm and emphasize your points.

    Yeah, but you plan them in anymore. Obama and his writers made sure to pause for applause lines rather than have things continue on. So far they've only really interrupted regulations...regulations...

    Obama mentioned the G.I. Bill. Professor said today that the G.I. Bill is one of the reasons why there are so many students in colleges in contemporary society.

    Which pisses me off because you don't need to go to college to be a plumber.
