now that things are headed in the "general"

2. i have not seen him do this up to now.

there may be situations in the future - such as the dnc convention where this type of staging may be used and i do not think he would have a say about that if he speaks.

this seems to be a new trend and i find it over the top and in poor taste for a democracy.

same goes for the recent 1/2 time shows during football season and the patriotic celebrations in d.c. at the lincoln memorial.

being democratic and patriotic is not gauged by bigger and more flags on the stage. too much hubris means this to me: false front.
