Who saw Bush speech on C-Span2 direct feed?
Anyone?

At the end of the speech, they kept the camera live for 15 seconds extra and I thought Bush looked .... literally vacant. A PETRIFIED man.

1. I thought he looked that way during the speech.
In fact, I think he looks like that all the time.

2. Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm looking for people who saw exactly what I saw, the 15 seconds dead-air at the end of the speech on the C-Span2 feed.

3. I saw it on the WH feed
He held his pose for a few seconds, then relaxed but looked, I don't know, resentful? Sullen?

4. Seemed to me like ...
... he held the pose WAY too long. Unsettlingly too long.

If he was sullen, it was because he knew he'd blown it. I'm guessing after taking advice he was warned off by others.

Thanks for the info, though ....

6. Just checked the WH video
They have already edited that out. LOL! Also, I could not get SOUND from the WH link the first time - had to watch their video and listen to radio.

5. I saw it too...
It looked like he just froze in that "deer in headlights" position. It was obvious that he was very uncomfortable, and had no idea what to do. It was almost like he farted and was hoping no one smelled it. I loved it. I hope they show it on the replay. :)

7. Whew
At least I know I didn't hallucinate it, but no damn way it gets on the replay!

I really can't say I loved it, though. It's just too scary having the mind behind that expression with his finger on the button.
