A talk radio guy from an LA station cited it. I'll try to find a link. What would they have done if he turned around and farted at them?

That is funny, but it goes to show just how fired up Obama supporters are. It's been a long time since a democrat that could win came to Texas.

A crowd that applauds someone blowing their nose isn't "fired up" - it's frenzied and lunatic.

Have you ever been to a concert? Did it occur to you that the audience, might, just might, have taken an opportunity while nothing was really going on on-stage to start cheering. I think the fact that he was blowing his nose was a coincidence that the reporter thought was funny.

Let me give you an example of how this might happen, before someone accuses me of making something up: Obama is speaking and the crowd is momentarily quiet while listening to him. He stops for a moment to blow his nose. Someone in the audience (or possibly many people) scream something into the relative quiet like, "Yes we can", or "we love you Obama". Everyone nearby cheers, and then the whole place erupts. Happens all the time at concerts and rallies.

Here it is-


Quote:
Even blowing his nose, Obama gets applause
by John McCormick

DALLAS – It's probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose.

Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold.

And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. "Gotta blow my nose here for a second," Obama said.

Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose.

The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause.

Despite the cold, Obama's voice seems as strong as ever. He has a light schedule today and some time to rest up before his debate Thursday evening with Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

They applauded his booger skills.




Whatever anyone says or the realities of the situation the lines a keeper and hints at the empty nature of his words.

You are right we wouldn't want to get bogged down in the reality of the situation.
