True, but its true of all politicians when they try to act tough. Id be honestly worried if a politician sounded convincing when he promised unrelenting opposition and defeat to his political enemies.

Yeah, he apparently got 17 standing ovations during the speech.
All lead by his officials at the front of the audience,( and kind of reluctantly followed like sheep by some of the rest ) as was pointed out by last nights TV news bulletins.

A very DRY put on performance I thought.
