Media Silent as Audience Instructed to Applaud Obama

no one applauded until instructed to... When President Bush gave a speech to the military... the media made sure that everyone knew who the applaud-starter had been... Oddly enough, they were strangely silent when President Obama not only didn't receive applause... [until] from the stage, someone requested of the audience to do so. ... I suppose there's always the possibility that they, like me, didn't realize that it happened, which wouldn't be altogether too surprising considering the WhiteHouse YouTube channel conveniently edited out the beginning of the speech.
