Biased wording/misrepresentation of events in #Description
[edit]Under Please_clap#Description
"I will not trash talk. I will not be a divider in chief or an agitator in chief. I won't be out there blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up. I think the next president needs to be a lot quieter but send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national security interests of this country — to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world." [silence] "Please clap." After making such a declaration, Bush was met with silence from the crowd rather than the applause he expected.
The wording here seems quite biased. Looking at a first party source (PBS NewsHour recording of the incident) [1] the incident does not appear to play out in the way the article suggests and an alternate, more accurate wording may be preferable.
