[GreatCaesarsGhost]

it was on c-span2 but no other cable channels. i wanted to post then but had phone problems.

"Laura and I are having a wonderful trip through Europe, and we are so pleased to be back in Paris. It's been a little more than four years since we were last in Paris together, and a lot has changed. Laura wrote a book. (Laughter.) Our daughter got married. (Laughter.) My dad jumped out of an airplane. (Laughter.) And my hair is a lot grayer. (Laughter.)"

the backdrop was pure bush, too. windows with large white crosses. i can't find a pic yet.
and they played "stars and stripes forever." canned recording of course.
