This photo just about says it all...

[deminks]

I have looked into these eyes and saw the disdain for the American people.



Am I disrespecting Smirky? Damn straight. I will disrespect him every day until the day I die. Do I blame him for the hurricane? No. Do I blame him for the lack of response? Hell, yes. I am giving something to the relief effort, but I will also shrub bash whenever I can.

1. What I see...

Is stinking fear. He knows that it is all getting away from him.

That is a guy who's flat scared.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

6. Gotta agree with you on this one.

It's the "Oh, SHIT...not AGAIN" look.

He'd rather be playing golf than playing president.

President am too much hard work, Zippy...

[johnnie]

8. It looks more to me like

"I fucking said bourbon, not scotch!"

[Eloriel]

22. Yeah, that's what I see -- the "I don't give a damn about disasters,

I'm the Prezdent" sneer.

[raccoon]

29. I think so too.

After seeing that on the NBC evening news last night, it would've convinced me (except I was already convinced) that he has mental and/or physical problem(s) big time. Thus he is carefully sheltered, every event carefully choreographed, etc.

[Birthmark]

2. I don't know...

...how anyone can look at that face and see anything other than a sociopath. He is nutty as nutty can be.

[benburch]

3. I fucking KNEW they would make a photo op of this.

Same as 9/11. Both of which he helped happen.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. Yes...proof is in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2049007&mesg_id=2049007

...it's the Salon piece on how Bush cut flood funding to New Orleans to pay for the war in Iraq.

It's not tinfoil hat stuff, folks...what happened in New Orleans was a force of nature, but the lives of the people who survived it were made a LOT worse by the "compassionate conservatism" of our fearless leader.

[hlthe2b]

4. let's see, know what is he thinking?

Damn that cursed Sheehan woman for ruinin my vacation..
Damn them black folks--all of em Democrats-- for forcing me back to DC...
Damn that Librul media for exposing me for the fraud I am!


Marshall Law? I'll show you Marshall Law... Rummy, where's that bunker bustin nuke you promised me?

[ck4829]

5. "Hey America! Y'all better rally behind me like last time, or else..."

[jim3775]

7. He looks like a scared little kinkajou

[WePurrsevere]

25. Yeah a bit but Kinkajous are much MUCH cuter. ;-) nt

[mike_c]

9. fear and loathing at 25,000 feet....

eom

[SmokingJacket]

11. Look at that tightly clenched fist!

I'd pay a nickel to know what's going on in that guy's head.

[Lerkfish]

24. its' not worth a nickel.

[unrepuke]

32. I'd give a nickel to see what's in the tiny baggie in the fist

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. This is the face of someone who realizes what we've always known:

"I am way over my head."

[livetohike]

20. I agree. n/t

[mark11727]

41. * is the logical conclusion of the Peter Principle...

In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.

Of course, in *'s case, he was never competent in the first place :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle

[livetohike]

13. The body language says it all too.

Clenched fists and arms crossed, just like a bully on the playground.
But analyzing the body language, he is defensive and scared.

[xultar]

15. YUP! I totally agree.

[WePurrsevere]

27. Agreed.. I think the look is from his trying to fake a good distraught

face but he just looks like a 5 yr old bully in a snit with gas to me.

[displacedtexan]

33. Look at the hunched shoulders.

Almost fetal.

I'm sure he's thinking: "What a totally fucked up photo op!"

[livetohike]

39. Yeah, all part of the defensive posture and fetal like -

He probably wishes he could just curl up and everything bad would go away. I almost pity him.

[displacedtexan]

40. You're a better person than I, livetohike.

:yourock: :yourock:

[livetohike]

43. Thanks but I said I "almost" pity him

:-). I'm not fully there yet.

This is such a horrible disaster. Is there one person who could make it all better? Honestly, I don't think so, but I think Clinton and Carter would make a more compassionate and reassuring presence than this guy.

[xultar]

14. His face and body tells me that he's thinking Aww shit I'm fucked.

[livetohike]

18. Right! Also, I think he finally realized that he is way over his head

in his "management abilities".

[Ioo]

16. "Is this the right look? Or should I go more glazed"

[CottonBear]

17. He is a small, mean, petty and evil man who should burn in hell. eom

[SheilaT]

19. What I see is

someone who has absolutely no compassion for anyone, and is asking, "Did you get the picture you want?" It's a photo-op, pure and simple, an attempt to convince everyone that he actually cares about the tragedy unfolding in LA, MS, and AL. He's faking sincerity, but doesn't even do that very well.

[stellanoir]

21. Three days later

after some golfing, fundraising, eating cake, boring and enfuriating elderly veterans to tears with his lame assed analogy
comparing his totally botched so called war on terror to WWII, strumming a guitar, our fearless leader DOES something about the country's worst natural disaster that could have been mitigated if he hadn't stripped FEMA and not funded the reinforcement of the levies. . .

He looks out the window.

I'm so relieved.

[merbex]

23. I see a "Why can't someone else deal with this"look n/t

28. "How could them New Orleansers do this to me?"

It's been four days, George.

Leaders get a 24-hour grace period to get their act together.

Great Leaders require no grace period, knowing that they are in positions of leadership due to Grace alone.

How about you, George?

--p!

[displacedtexan]

35. The first 72 hours...

are called "golden" by rescue teams.

George W.'s reaction and concern are way too late...

as usual.

[Double T]

30. The REAL EVIL DOER......

....thinking how he can get some political gain out of this disaster.

[peacebuzzard]

31. thinking, "I hope they didn't notice I was playing guitar & partying"

[deutsey]

34. This photo creeped me out the first time I saw it

I saw something really sinister in his face the first time I saw it in passing on television.

Looking at it more closely, I still see something menacing in his expression, especially his eyes...Whatever is there, it sure isn't inspiring.

[atommom]

36. I agree. Something cold and nasty lives in there.

:scared:

[Binka]

42. Cirrhosis

What a petty, nasty, vile, vapid narcissistic fuckwittage. He thinks it's all about him. Fuck the people of the Gulf Coast he couldn't give a toss about them he knows he fucked up so what he doesn't care. He's mad because he is being EXPOSED! The BFEE usually kill people who expose any of their clan, well too bad for them because too many people are not letting this go. They gig is up for these scum sucking fucksticks and THEY KNOW IT!

[displacedtexan]

37. OK. This is even creepier than the picture.

I bookmarked the Yahoo link (for my blog) a few minutes ago.

When I tried to open the bookmark, I got a "Page not found" message.

Hm.

Are the paranoids after me?

Anyway, I did a Gadwin screen capture, just in case.

[ultraist]

38. .

:scared:

[psychopomp]

44. Yes, pure contempt in that scowl

And there it is, the naked chimperor's visage captured in all its sinister glory.

[bertha katzenengel]

45. What a worthless man.

Is he even a man?

Worst president ever. What a waste of space.

Arrogant ass.

[Judi Lynn]

46. Probably thinking that if this disaster damages his pResidency

he might not have the chance to kill as many people as he wants, grab as much money from the poor as he wants, destroy the earth as much as he'd like, and secure control of the world permanently for the homicidal MEpublican Party.

[ObaMania]

47. Rove to Smirky...

.. "slam your fist down and look serious!"
