did anyone else feel like he didn't have a very strong command over the audience???
Seemed like he got somewhat annoyed with them a couple times when they couldn't quiet down when he was trying to get into a flow in his speech, and then there were other times when he wanted a reaction and it took like half a second for the audience to catch up, and then there was an almost unnatural burst of cheers or boos once they realized he was pausing for them (as if a staff member grabbed a cattle prod and poked half the delegated all at once...).
Also - there was an echo in the hall that emphasized the smaller size of the audience and lent a slight amateurish sound to the speech which Obama definitely didn't have in his outdoor venue
(although, I will add, I found Obama's columns backdrop pretty stupid, I mean seriously... really... nobody could do better than replicating the feel of the portico that goes from the White House to the West Wing??? Nobody realized that was a bit too forced???).
