Obama gets applause for blowing nose

[Mr.Wizard]

um, wow.
The Link

And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. "Gotta blow my nose here for a second," Obama said.

Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose.

The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause.

If this messiah type mania continues perhaps Obama will install a Port-A-Potty on all of his future stump speech stages?

Ah-choo! Even the Messiah gets a little snotty, amen!

It's not that he was applauded for blowing his nose, it was the way he blew it. Only Jesus and JFK can rival his nose-blowing.

Seriously, this is news? We've had 8 years of applause while Bush and Co wipe their asses with the Constitution.

$100.00 bucks says if he farted the crowd would have roared.

that used Kleenex could be a good auction fundraiser.

I remember when someone paid thousands of dollars for some Elvis toenail clippings shortly after he died. Some nose jam from the next POTUS could be high-dollar material.
