I thought that was weird too. I couldn't remember another time I had seen anyone's behind the President there. So weird and pointless.
When Obama announced the passage of ObamaCare, Biden was by his side. I remember it well because just before Obama spoke, you could hear Biden on a hot mic whisper "This is a big fucking deal, Mr President."
I laughed my ass off.
Fair. I dont remember the details, but I do remember that quote. I mostly remember Obama standing there alone announcing Bin Laden's death. It was quite memorable for obvious reasons but also I was in a bar at my buddy's 21st birthday hangout, and things for rowdy.
The night Obama announced Bin Laden's death was also the night he humiliated HitlerPig at the big Press Banquet. Some believe that was the moment that he decided to run for president. So while Obama was roasting HitlerPig in front of the world, he knew that he'd be ordering Bin Laden's killing later that evening. Interesting context.
