:D If you want a chuckle..or a tear...whichever strikes you first, go read Flopping Aces blog post analyzing Obama's speech to the troops in Iraq.
Here is a bit..
HE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you, guys. Let me say [damn, no teleprompter...gonna have to go old school and use a notecard or these people will realize I don't know who they are]…Multinational Force Iraq, Multinational Corps Iraq, Multinational Security Transition Command Iraq First Corps, America’s Corp Band: Thanks to all of you.
Listen, I am so honored.
AUDIENCE MEMBER [State Dept Official/appointee who is new in-country]: We love you.
THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) I am honored — I’m honored and grateful to be with all of you [and grateful that you all have cameras, or I wouldn't have even flown over this place]. And I’m not going to talk long because I want to [get as many photos for the web] shake as many hands as I can. (Applause.) And I’ve been talking all week. (Laughter.) [It's time words mean something-like when I told North Korea to STOP or I'll have to say STOP again!]
