8. I'm glad I wasn't the only one...I didn't say it until he was off the stage though
Even to Sniffa. Didn't want to jinx it.

5. I don't know how much they make, but I'm pretty sure they deserve a raise
They do a hard job but they do it well.

12. My hat is off to the secret service for that one. Can you imagine
trying to keep an eye on 84,000 people. They did a great job. Had to be one of the harder logistical tasks they have ever had to do.

20. i have always felt
that when america needs someone or something it always is provided
in the right place and at the right time
our history is filled with stories of the right person in the right place at the right time
i wonder if it is the influence of our creator or just luck sometimes
now though im starting to lean towards creator

19. Yes, thank you secret service agents.
They deserve some cookies or brownies or something. Or perhaps a few Hawaiian vacations?

21. Did any of you jump at the sound of the fireworks?
At the end? I heard them before I saw them, scared the daylights out of me.
