1. Poor Chuckie is trying to down play the reaction

while thousands of Norwegians have a candle light vigil and are waving to the Obamas outside their hotel.

2. Thanks I just turned on the tv

There's a lot to digest today and it's only 11 AM here.

I'm so ticked off at the administration. But this candle light vigil is so moving and I can take heart by how others around the world feel about him and America. Thanks for the heads up, malaise.

:hug:

3. That is amazing

Thousands are outside of that hotel with their candles - very moving.

4. I haven't seen his speech yet

It was on too early for me to see it. But I bet it'll be on C-Span. I know I can find it online but want to see it "on the big screen". So I'll check around later.

:hi:

14. How do you know the candlelight vigil isn't a peace protest against him? They aren't exactly

pleased with him y'know: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7195212&mesg_id=7195212

6. chuck loves to get a 'dig' in whenever he can, doesn't he

[alsame]

7. I've seen Chuckie on three different segments since the

speech and each time he's been negative.

The President only received "tepid applause", there was an "uncomfortable feeling in the room". Once he said the lack of applause is usually the result of the translating delay, but he 'had a feeling' that this was something different. :eyes:

8. And of course Chuckie was dead silent

about the thousands at the candle light vigil outside the hotel.

[alsame]

10. Yep, it ruined his narrative so he just ignored it. nt

[malaise]

11. Chuckie just mentioned the thousands of Norwegians

shouting Obama at the vigil. Wow - color me surprised.

[alsame]

12. Oh, I missed it! I wonder if he's getting some feedback about

his negative spin.

[malaise]

13. No doubt

The Tweets must be tearing him a new one

9. The fact that there was applpause probably irks Chuck
