1) he runs for president and someone asks him or 2) he writes a book about the administration and he comments on it.

(2,188 posts)2. That's true
Did you see the clip? It got lots of applause but he was quiet.

(32,738 posts)3. I won't comment on his age
but I know as I get older I have less tolerance of sitting through meetings and ceremonies. Perhaps he was tired and just wanted to get out of there.

(2,188 posts)5. Yes but that was about what President Obama did a few weeks ago
On the actual lifting of the embargo, he was silent.

Someone didn't stand. Someone didn't clap. Someone didn't stand and clap.
I don't get any of that crap when just I read it.
