If I was Bush I'd be really mad

Say four words, CLAP, four words, CLAP, damnit, why cant they shut up for a second?

I love the guy, but it is to his advantage. He can speak VERY well in short stints, but get him to speak for more than a minute or two... he stumbles.

You have to admit, it's better than: say four words, BOO, four words, BOO, etc. at least it's POSITIVE feedback, which is more than he's gotten for awhile.

LOL

Good point!

 

[Kaervak]

That would irritate me as well. Every few seconds people bust out with clapping. I'd be up there after the first four or say and just break out "SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH DAMNIT". Then they'd probably want my head on a platter.

A public speaker will derive confidence from such a gesture. I doubt he is complaining.

Don't be so sure..."Clappers" annoy me when they don't get it and clap at inconvenient times. They also throw your rhythm. I got the nagging impression that the PR spin-paramedic who wrote the speech actually wrote in where he thought the applause would go and stood up clapping at all those times to get everyone else going...

True true.

And it gives him time to read more of the speech so he wont forget...

 

[TripleJ]

Bush: "You are all losers!" CLAP CLAP CLAP "Shut the f@#k up!" CLAP CLAP CLAP "Goddam it, you halfwits!" CLAP CLAP CLAP "That's it, I quit!" CLAP CLAP CLAP "Thankyou, God bless America." CLAP CLAP CLAP
