Great speech but did you notice the glass surrounding him
never seen this before was it because he is black and afraid people will try to shoot him
or is this normal

those were panels on the left and right (front was wide open) - not sure why.

I'm not really sure either, especially as to why it was just on the sides unless the police and secret service had all the buildings with a direct line of fire covered already, but there were assassination threats and that did look a lot like bulletproof glass.

Maybe to enhance the acoustics? Or maybe, the panels were in front of the inexpensive seats, so hecklers could'nt take any "cheap shots";):D
