This bothered me while watching the rally last night...I guess NOW I know why. Also, I couldn't help but notice our beloved Prez was not his usually effervescent self when he came on stage. No waving, no smiles, no finger points, no mouthed thank yous...like he was ALL business. (Anyone else pick up on that?) His tone was more serious as were his topics. This makes perfect sense if he was talking DIRECTLY to the DS.
