After the speech began, many in the audience looked back and forth between the copies of the speech in their hands and the president speaking on stage. Virtually every time the president paused for breath, the crowd erupted in applause, and the intensity of the applause increased as the speech moved toward its close.
演說正式開始後，許多觀眾一面盯著手中的演講詞，一面看著台上的總統，幾乎每次段落結束、總統換氣稍作停頓時都掌聲大作，越接近尾聲越顯熱烈。
