the Washington Times:

When Mr. Bush entered the House chamber at 9:05, Mrs. Clinton stopped clapping after a few moments. Mr. Obama, however, clapped for almost the entire four minutes that Mr. Bush took to walk down the aisle.

One of the few policy lines on which the two senators differed came when Mr. Bush said that Al Qaeda is "on the run" in Iraq. Mrs. Clinton stood and clapped, while Mr. Obama did not.

On his way out of the chamber after his speech, Mr. Bush shook Mr. Obama's hand and then Mr. Kennedy's, and made a few quick remarks to both, drawing a smile from Mr. Obama.


Hilary clapped ,Not for the surge, but for Al Qaeds being on the run.

2. not clapping because Bush has failed to find Bin Laden!

3. "On the run"? They weren't even there pre-invasion.

It was hard to watch. I'm not sure if they should have ever applauded.
