The majority of comments in response to the article, inclucing the one below, pretty much sum it all up.
"Erm... I'm sorry, but that video is misleading."
"The clips from the speech in that video are from the END of the speech. Of course he gets some applause then."
"But it's not like he's hiding anything - a video of the whole speech was uploaded by his campaign. Watch it -
http://youtube.com/watch?v=j1nno1El3-g
- and what do you know, the room IS quiet. You can hear people cough."
"True, there are a couple of points where he gets some mild applause. It would be incredible if there was no applause at all anywhere in the speech, particularly when he's talking about preserving jobs in the auto industry, but at many key points, like right after that when he talks about fuel efficiency standards - complete silence."
"Simply put, his comment that the room got really quiet is true. It did."

I like the comment: "Compared to his usual crowd, that one WAS really quiet."
I guess next we'll get a story about how he said he had a "Really great time" at some event contrasted with actual video of him NOT smiling.
Don't we love the YouTube era?

Papa - have you watched the extended clip? It's clearly not a friendly crowd.

folks, the reason it's quiet is that it's a boring ass speech. there's no soaring rhetoric, and he delivers it like he's giving a lecture in class. i'd have been asleep.
they applaud the line about breaking america's oil addiction, they applaud the idea of stringent caps on carbon emissions, they applaud his line about giving the same speech in detroit as he gave in cali, they laugh at the size jokes, they applaud the line about those producing fuel efficient cars, they applaud the saving the jobs line, they start to applaud the expensive to do is no longer an excuse for failure to do line but he runs over the applause. that's just in the 12:37 available at the link so far provided.
it was a boring speech. that's why he wasn't getting more applause, not that it was a hostile crowd. they were more than willing to applaud him and did so. plus, i'd like to hear audio from a source other than the podium mic as it barely even registers the louder applause. no one can tell me that there wasn't some whooping in that room at some point.
look, folks, i'm sorry they didn't go apesh*t for bammy, but they did applaude his speech and the very ideas he claims were met with stony silence and no applause. basically the story reveals more about the arrogance of bammy: he's pissed that they didn't recognize his genius.

Posted: 5/16/08 at 10:13amhe comes across as a world class scold in that speech and i hope he delivers many more just like it. man people used to talk about hil coming across that way, but compared to this she seems like joanne six-pack.

It doesn't matter how he comes across papa, his followers don't care. Whatever he says is right and righteous.

Posted: 5/16/08 at 10:24amBlood in the streets Papa! I am planning on a big Election night- either an Obama victory celebration or looting. I've got my eye on one of them flat-screen TVs.

Well, since racism is the ONLY possible reason he won't be anointed, I would assume there will be riots and looting.
Which is good, b/c I need a new TV.

His speech was not warmly received at all. As a matter of fact he was flat out told by locals that he made a huge mistake. He still has a lot of kissing and making up to do here. Not answering 'sweetie's' automaker related question the other day doesn't help.
The only automaker he's met with is privately owned Chrysler at a suburban location (he drives a 300C). Obama's clueless about the auto industry.
