| #16 Actually, he translated faithfully everything Champ said... |

| #15 They did not notice the fraud during obama's speech because the sign language finally made an Obama speech appear credible and interesting. Which should of been the tip off! |

| #14 I'd call 'sign man' a bullet stopper with a bad cover story. Funny you should say that. It was my initial thought before I went with linguistic confusment. Very plausible, especially since he has apparently done this before. He certainly doesn't give off the usual sign language vibe. |

| #13 That fellow's jacket appears to be rather snug fit. I suspect he's wearing body armor. In one of the shots, he's glancing over at a rather sober looking Pieter Van Angerypist, [name of my own creation] but obviously a security lad. I'd call 'sign man' a bullet stopper with a bad cover story. |

| #12 I wonder if this confusion was just 'language difficulties. To wit: American Sign Language (ASL) vs Zulu Sign Language. Or Esperanto Sign Language (assuming there is such a thing). |

| #11 The sign language interpreter used at Nelson Mandela's football stadium memorial was a fake, it was claimed this morning. Poetic justice, we don't listen to him anyway, he lies. |

| #8 he only needed a couple of signs to cover Champ's speech - Hope, Change, Obstructionist, and maybe redistribution. Bobby you forgot the most important words in his tribute to Manny: I, Me, Myself. |

| #7 That's ok. When bumble speaks we don't understand a word he is saying either. |

| #3 You must admit the "funeral" was like an international circus. He was not faking it, the organizers failed to check his credentials. He was using an advanced form of sign language based upon his adopted language: |
