Obama was here in Colorado giving a fifteen minute speech to a specially selected closed-to-the-public audience that was "hushed," missing obvious applause lines, according to Denver Post reporter Jeremy P. Meyer. Meyer said the crowd seemed "strangely silent," and, at one point, Obama had to encourage the crowd to clap! Maybe they were confused at his message, which was that we should have "an all-of-the-above energy policy," given the fact that he had just nixed the pipeline from Canada to Houston, which would have created thousands of jobs.

Update: Perhaps there is another reason why there was a hushed, strange silence:
