Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in
South Texas, asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every
few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my
hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
Then, little 10 year old Darrell, with a proud Texas drawl, pierced the
quiet and said: "Well, stop clapping!”
