I'm with Dan on this. I'm new to Convention speech-making simply because it was never shown in full over in London while I was awake. While I understand that applause during a speech is good- it COULD be like direct-audience feedback if it wasn't a given that everyone was clapping- I think it interrupts the flow of the speech. The President here gave a speech here for convocation, and it was only interrupted twice by clapping, and it was at appropriate times. Thusly, the rhythm of the speech was preserved. I'd have much preferred the parts of the President's speech that I saw if the applause had been similarly limited to appropriate moments.

The CINC was enjoying it, though...

What did you guys think of the CINC using spanish in his speech?

Thank you,

Solid
