Reply #19: When I heard the cheers at Barack and Michelle's appearance

[rebel with a cause]

I thought that it was strange that this was the opposite of what the repub talking heads were telling us. I have heard it said that the military resented serving under him, though it is not the same way I heard it for eight years when Clinton was president. They can't say that Obama was a Vietnam war protester (like Clinton) although they have tried.

As for me, I was thrilled to hear them applaud him in the manner that they did. I did not find it inappropriate just a way of them saying "Thank god you are president now. You have given us hope."

I admit I am an Obama supporter from way back (from early in 2004) and I watched "By the People/Barack Obama" for the second time last night so I am biased in my opinion.
