Who was that black soldier at the SOTU?
The looks on his face were priceless.
A sampling:
The "Why am I here?"
The "Oh my God, he did not just say that."
And my favorite, the "Can I stop clapping now?" when Bush was praising the soldiers.

What a respectable person.

1. LOL, I loved that too.
I was like, "wow, a real human being in the audience!" (well, minus Teddy Kennedy among others).

3. Oh God, that was hilarious
and then they came back to him later! Still with the silent clap.

5. I got a kick out of him...
...when he was clapping and shaking his head 'no'.

6. All the young folks in uniform who were in the audience
seemed, shall I say, less than enthusiastic? Keep in mind, these are the hand picked ones. Imagine what the ones who they won't let near him really think.
