Interesting that they tried to soften his image

Notice the screened back pattern of flags and seals that ressemble a country quilt. Notice the very pale blue tie. These were not chosen by accident, these pale colors and the quilt motif were deliberately chosen. Perhaps to soften his appearance while he was talking war?

It's all very carefully staged.

Copywriter here. Amazing how you develop an eye for bullshit after you've been in the business awhile.

8. Way too true.

I hate the business, but the people are mostly great. Sucks to be so embroiled in the machine.

5. They are falling back on the only thing Bush has left.....

The irrational fondness for him and the belief that he is a good guy that
hard core Bush supporters display.

6. I noticed that and mentioned it one of the threads

Generally when the Commander in Chief speaks, the colors are very bright--bright red, bright blue...and they generally always wear a red-toned tie.
What it seems to me is that it is attempting to distract you away from his face while he talks---with the background and the tie. That is where your eyes go--not to him. It almost hurts to watch him intensely.
It also has a very surreal look to it. I am sure this is one of Rove's creations.

7. Maybe so, but his darting eyes didn't help his cause.

He still looked like he knew he was lying and he was looking around to see who might be buying the garbage he spewed...

Pathetic.

9. Ummm excuse me but when is the last time anyone took him as a tough guy?

10. I thought he looked like a turtle

his neck and his head looked small on his body.

He was far away from the camera too - why is that?
