Bush FAKES sincerity and warmth better than anyone I've ever seen!

[glarius]

He's on CNN now thanking Americans for contributing to aid of Tsunami relief....I have NEVER seen anyone who can act the part of a caring, compassionate person better than he can....I stress ACT THE PART!!.....:puke:

1. You're giving him too much credit

I always saw through him, and, obviously, so do you. This has just as much to do with a whorish, slavish sycophantic media and a brain-addled public.

[glarius]

4. He has his act down perfectly.....leaning forward into the camera as if

he's talking directly to you....and throwing in little self-deprecating comments....He's a genius at it...IMO

2. He's a great actor

Nobody believes me because he mangles words, but he really gives a great performance. He's adapted the style of evangelical preachers. Just ripped them right off, and he's a good mimic.

11. I don't think so. Reagan was politicall, a good actor, hence his

appeal, but Bush's appeal is something spookier.

3. Is he smirking?

Honestly, I can't see anyone falling for his phony "compassionate" BS. :shrug:

5. When I asked my father

what drew him to Bush --- he said he sees honesty.

I almost threw up.

6. It is all an act. He's learned the body language and the words

in order to convince people that he's "one of them," a nice, down-to-earth guy. But you can often see glimmers of his underlying contempt showing through.

[glarius]

10. To me what gives him away is the cruelty in his eyes

There are times when his eyes look like black, bottomless, pits.

7. Really? I think that he is rather transparent.

[glarius]

8. I agree but everyone is not so discerning as some of us are!

:shrug:

[sinkingfeeling]

9. I don't agree. I think he's terrible at any attempt to act as if he has

empathy for anyone else! Most times his facial expressions and body language are entirely inappropriate.

12. In my day we used to call it being two-faced, a person

who was all smiles and friendliness to your face while he was stabbing you in the back.

[bloom]

13. He might be the best at looking like he is acting.

He is the least best of being convincing of anyone I know.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Heh

I don't think he even acts it very well. He's as transparent as Saran Wrap, as fake as my Aunt Dot's fingernails.

15. Bush is a politician.

Is there a more dishonorable profession?

I don't think so. Well, lawyers are close second, used car salespeople are third, preachers are fourth, ...

[atommom]

16. I don't find him at all convincing myself, BUT I am not one of the many

Americans who have a deep psychological need to believe in his goodness. I don't understand them; they don't understand me. We're not using the same parts of our brains... :shrug:
