OK DUers who watched Obama

[malaise]

What was the most important visual?

[gateley]

1. Flag pin in his lapel?

Actually, I only heard it and caught a few visual glimpses. Just kickin' this to see the "correct answer".

[malaise]

2. Try again

[gateley]

3. Sigh. I'll see if I can find a vid of it. nt

[patrice]

4. This guy is VERY good at straight talk, no "superiority". Sober-faced. No loaded word choices. nt

[malaise]

7. Visual!!!

[patrice]

15. Not a drop of gloat in his face the whole time. It takes CONTROL to do that sort of thing.

I know I sure as hell couldn't do it.

[patrice]

16. That level of personal control alone is pretty frightening to some people.

Others will be driven just bat-shit crazy by it.

And the rest of us will know that we ARE safer, because of it.

5. No smirk..

.. no hidden agenda.

[patrice]

17. MASSIVE rhetorical message there. What you see is what you get. Period. nt

[gateley]

6. What was with the flag that appeared for a nanosecond then disappeared?

But as to the most important visual, I just can't see it.

The bust of Lincoln in the alcove? The WH.gov logo up in the corner? I can't see anything else! I DO love the color of his tie, though.

[malaise]

8. Yes you can

Look good

[gateley]

9. You're a hard taskmaster, malaise. I'll go watch again.

10. Here's a hint side by side

[gateley]

11. That you DON'T see the POTUS insignia on the podium????

I'm watching a vid (on DU, natch - DU rocks) that beings as he's standing there. I seem to recall when I kind of watched it live that he walked up to the podium from the back of the corridor. Is that when/where the visual you're referring to would be? This is driving me nuts!

[pinboy3niner]

12. It's the same setting where he announced the death of OBL

Everything is the same, except for the President's tie.

[gateley]

13. Excellent!

[malaise]

14. 100% correct

This team is good

[malaise]

18. Jon Stewart got it

19. The President "strolled down 'I Killed Bin Laden' Lane," LOL

Luckily, Jay Leno and NBC News were able to capture all of the President's entrance...

[malaise]

20. Too good

Love it.

[flamingdem]

21. The tiny, tiny twinkle in his eye at the very, very end

Beautiful

[malaise]

22. I didn't even see that

pinboy3niner nailed it and so did Jon Stewart
