I recently (on yesterday, 13 July 2016), came across this footage on Facebook. CNN captioned it: "First families join hands for a rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" during memorial for slain Dallas officers." By now (the next day (14 July 2016), there were 10.8 Million views, 130k shares, and countless comments and climbing. ALL of the comment were about George W. Bush dancing at the funeral of the five slain Dallas police officers. I was saddened to see how divided we are on many fronts and categories. Sure we celebrate diversity but the constant bombardment of anyone who does not agree with our point of view is ridiculously getting out of hand. Now I will admit that the body language interactions between, Laura Bush, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, Michelle and Barack Obama were comical to say the least. I, too was sucked into the funnel of finding different footages and analyzing the body language on stage only to realize that I was being duped into the abyss of vanity. This was a funeral for Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa. I'm sure most of us would not remember a single name from these five slain police officers five years from now.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die... a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:3-4)...
Stop for a second and realize that, while perhaps 95% of us may cling on the "a time to mourn and a time to dance"... Very few are going to understand that there is also "a time to tear down and a time to build". People, we are ALL are either sounding like Pharisees and Sadducees, or sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. We made this a topic about who danced and who looked how. Sure, we will be blaming the media soon but if we know that it's a game of rating then we must stop entertaining them. It's gonna take a lot of prayer and lots if fasting to bring us together like never before (and I mean it when I say never before). God Bless America

He is dancing? Looks like he is moving with the music, everyone else is uncomfortable and constrained. We laud Donald Trump for being "himself" yet criticize another. Cultures have different ways of worship, the wake is notoriously full of song and alcohol. I think he felt it move him. God bless the man for being himself. He gave a fantastic speech about "we" and our current president also was trying to roll with it!

Looked to me like he was in the moment with the music, good for him. I see nothing wrong with finding joy, even in a somber occasion. If you heard his speech, his sincerity about the event cannot be doubted.

Unfortunately, I was laughing at the way she tugged his hand a couple of times. It was so obvious.

i.e. I laughed out loud at your comment about the "couch material" and being "out in the shop" where it's quiter anyway. He might have been in the doghouse like all married men have (including myself). Sometimes, I deliberately put myself in a situation that would put me in the doghouse

I swear George Bush is either not right in the head or under some mind control. He was out in the White House by his dad and granddad and I swear as a place marker for NWO. Same as Obama and plus it's a little known fact that they are distant relatives. Who is next to get in to office Bush's daughters?
