Your comment does make me wonder if are you actually stupid or if you are just lying. Here's a <a href = "http://www.ustream.tv/swf/3/viewer.111.swf?&loc=/&vid=355941" rel="nofollow">third angle</a>, though it won't help your case at all so you may not want to spread it around. Maybe you could just say that it's a third event! Elme, two different camera angles do not two events make. Your comment does make me wonder if are you actually stupid or if you are just lying.

He only made one speech that day, I believe. Of course, once is enough!
