Obama Speech to soldiers met with
silence
Daily Caller – Neil Munro –

President Barack Obama
was greeted with fleeting applause and extended periods of silence as he offered
profuse praise to soldiers and their families during an Aug. 31 speech in
Fort Bliss , Texas
His praise for the
soldiers — and for his own national-security policies — won cheers from only a
small proportion of the soldiers and families in the cavernous
aircraft-hangar.
The audience remains
quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited
the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan
The White House’s video-feed cut off
10 seconds after the president finished his speech, before the audience’s
reaction overall could be gauged by viewers.
