Anthony & The President

A couple weeks ago, President Obama visited Elmendorf AFB. He spoke to some of the servicemen and women, and Anthony was chosen as one of 200 to sit behind the podium. Anthony said that as they were getting going, the announcer started with, "Ladies and gentlemen," and everyone's cameras went into the air to try and get a picture of President Obama entering. He continued, "Introducing Chaplain...," and the audience groaned. The Chaplain joked, "Sorry to disappoint you with just a prayer." When he finished, the announcer again said, "Ladies and gentlemen," and again, all the cameras went up. "Introducing General...". Groans again.

Here is the video of the President's speech when he finally appeared. He spoke about the sacrifices military members make, the lives that have been lost recently, and plans for the Defense budget. It's about 15 minutes long, and if you want to see Anthony, at 2 minutes 30 seconds President Obama asks everyone to applaud the terrific looking Airmen and Soldiers, and Anthony is in the top right corner. You can also see him at 6:47 when they pan across the military members again. Enjoy!
