5. You're right! Why does he always have that look?
Does he really think that makes him look serious or is the only other facial expression he has beside the smirk?

19. That look...
He always looks really pissed...his mouth set in a line like that. I don't get it. Is that his grieving, heavy-of-heart demeanor?

Ya' know...I wonder if anger, spite and viciousness are the ONLY emotions available to him; if he's incapable of any but the basest of emotions. That would explain why his repretoire, so to speak, is so limited, and no matter what the occasion, it always comes off as "I'm pissed!".

23. "Who we’all honorin’ here today?"
http://www.lewisnews.com/article.asp?ID=105971

So when Sheehan received an invitation to meet privately with President Bush at the White House two months after her son died, the least she could have expected was a bit of compassion or a kind word coming from the heart.

But what she encountered was an arrogant man with eyes lacking the slightest bit of compassion, a President totally "detached from humanity" and a man who didn’t even bother to remember her son’s name when they were first introduced.

Instead of a kind gesture or a warm handshake, Sheehan said she immediately got a taste of Bush arrogance when he entered the room and "in a condescending tone and with a disgusting loud Texas accent," said: "Who we’all honorin’ here today?"

24. Bush doesn't understand the social cues
that normal people integrate into their personality structure by the time they're oh...uh, 8 or 9 years old.

People with functional personalities understand the tone that's called for in particular social situations. The dissonant tone, in the context of meeting the mother whose son has died, is what's so jarring in that statement. "Who we’all honorin’ here today?" is so "off" it sets one's teeth on edge.

Bush has an infantile personality structure. In so many ways his words and actions are appropriate to a MUCH earlier stage of psychological development. Why that is, I'm not exactly sure. Is it congenital, or because of some trauma early on (death of his sister, maybe)?

In any case, it's more evidence that he isn't equipped to be President. From what I've seen, his problem solving ability is developed to about the same level as his ability to pick up on social cues. :scared:

25. Exactly!
He has no remorse or even an ounce of regret for those killed in action.

20. Too much time at the pig farm

3. He looks like he's pissed he missed his tee time. ("Watch this drive!")
He's such an incredible embarassment -- what kind of imbecile would even consider him for dog-catcher? :eyes:

Man he looks not somber, not respectful, just peeved.

9. He looks like he's missing his REM sleep.
And I don't mean because he is up late or he is too upset to sleep well. He looks like the drugs or alcohol is interfering with his sleep. Someone needs to explain to him tha tgoing to bed at 9pm on drugs or lit up will interfere with rest, no matter how many hours are involved.

12. Damn, I hate that face!
He looks like this gesture (laying the wreath) is not worth his time, as though he really does anything important anyway.

Gawd, I don't harbor bad thoughts or hold a grudge, but I've never felt so livid towards anyone before.

14. That look says, "This wreath laying ceremony
is a pain in the ass and the part of this President gig I hate most."

I'll bet he threw a big tantrum when Rove told him to get his ass over there because photographers had already been notified. Looks like he got woken up from his nap.

18. And people wanna know why he's hated? Just look at that face.
What a piece of shit, mother fucking, scumbag asshole, shit for brains, moranic turd blossom. LOOK AT THAT FACE. LOOK AT IT!

Anyone who fails to understand why the very sight of that fuckhead inspires anger and hatred is not human. He has an expression that says as loud and clear as any words how much he hates us. No wonder it is reciprocated.

I see him and am put in mind of that famous snippet of the court proceedings against Jeffrey Dahmer where the sister (I think it was) of one of the victims just screams "I hate you, Jeffrey Dahmer!" at an implacable Dahmer. I see George Bush and get the same righteous urge to scream like that woman. "I HATE YOU, GEORGE BUSH! I HATE YOU!

21. Hmm..interesting thought, husb2
At a visceral level, we (who are awake) just KNOW that he hates us. That's why he turns our stomachs. You may be onto something.

22. Or like the end of the Polly Klaas trial
(famous case of a girl kidnapped from her house and murdered in the early 90's) where Richard Allen Davis, the killer, turned around and flipped off the reporters.
