He takes the phone and has a nice conversation with the lady's mother.

It's near the end of this short video.

18. Yeah, there's only one person with power in the US and

he's lettin' you down. I don't know why we bother with electing legislators, state and national. I mean when we can just stick one guy out there and throw darts at him, it so much more satisfying.

21. What exactly is your experience of US government then?

I mean, by extension, it's not your government either.

It is so nice to have a President we can be proud of. :bounce:



* I made up that figure but it is on the interwebs now so it must be true.

13. RTÉ reported a crowd of about 40,000.

The expectations was for 25,000.

BBC has only described it as "thousands".

3. The secret service guys were pretty nervous about that.

Can't you get brain cancer from a cell phone?
In the photos I saw they looked worried.
But I thought it was cool too.

4. Did I hear right?

Were there 100,000 people there to see President Obama? How excellent! And everyone, including President and Michelle, were just THRILLED! So good to see him in his element. What a wonderful speech he gave!

I can't wait for us to feel that energy again here. I was lucky enough to volunteer for him recently when he spoke to the graduating high school students here in Memphis TN. His energy and magnetism is something to behold, I will tell you that!

6. US media is saying 25,000.

Fox News probably said "a few hundred".

11. You know I'm right

GD: presidential is usually the place for similar empty fluff threads, such as, "look at these daily adorable photos of the President and family! Aren't we lucky?"

The opening clip is when his car gets stuck.
