1. What a terrific idea!!!!!

You know it really does look as if the second line in each double line group is in a different format.

[zalinda]

2. Anyone working on this? n/t

[progressivebydesign]

3. That is a strange format! Very little writing on each page..

.. but you're right. There is something written below each line. Hope some graphic genius can get a better view. There is nothing wrong with being illiterate, as some people have learning disabilities that render regular reading impossible, it just scares the shit out of me to think that our so-called leader can't read without that kind of aid.

35. He is over 45 - he might use the large print

so he doesn't have to wear glasses and look prettier. But I wouldn't be surprised if that large print was spelled phonetically.

[LoKnLoD]

4. It's latin

doesn't the antichrist speak latin?

[babylonsister]

6. Latin? He can't even speak English! nt

[mike_c]

5. not enough resolution....

I tried-- it's all just blurry pixels. No letters discernible.

7. The Speak and Spell President.

:dunce:

8. I'm on the job.

I'm already finding things that seem out of place about this.

[charlie]

9. It's that phoney-baloney TexasSpeak

So he doesn't forget and break character.

The Yewnanna Nayshuns needs ta git seriush 'bout nukular t'rrur.

10. Here's the best I could do after playing with it in Photoshop ...

Ooo-ooo-aaah-aaa-eee-ee-ooo (scratch) (scratch) ooo-ooo-ee-ooo-ahhh (scratch) iii-iii-oooo-oooo-aaaah-aa-iii-ii (flings poo) ooo-ooo-aaaa-ii-ee-ooo-ooo

[pointblank]

21. LOL

First LOL of the day award to you. thanks

[toey]

27. how about

ewww eeee ewww ah ah ting tang a walla walla bing bang?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Notice the 2nd line on the page underneath

Notice how the second line seems to be at an angle. It is as if the line or lines have been pasted in.

Notice how the third group of lines on the top page (2nd photo) seems to be composed of two short lines, as if one is some kind of interpretation of the one above it.

Something strange going on.

[ewagner]

12. The two lines

of text appear strange.....I suspect there is a phonetic "translation" for him to follow....

[ck4829]

13. Here's what I could find out

Each page is not very long.

Apparently this thing has an unusual amount of spaces between it.

The first row is typed
While the second row is hand written

The second row is most likely the revision of what somebody typed which is in the first row.

The person who was doing the hand writing has a very erratic style of writing. It would be nice to know who did it.

[Stephanie]

14. Wow!

Can you post your enhanced images? That's very cool.

[ck4829]

15. Of course.

It will take a minute though

[ck4829]

16. Here it is

You see where the green lines are?

That's where the handwriting is.

[Stephanie]

17. Thanks!

It looks like they indicate the pauses for him - or, what are those vertical lines?

[ck4829]

20. I'm counting several of those

These are most likely lines indicating him to pause for a couple of seconds.

[Sydnie]

33. Direction "Try not to pat the air dog too often" n/t

[Scout]

18. probably stage directions

"look resolutely at Condi"

"make eye contact to left of room"
"make eye contact to center of room"

"pause"

"appear to care deeply about this part"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. If they are stage directions, I would expect him to read some out loud

Bush is enough "out of it" that he would be expected to have read some of stage directions out loud, if that is what they are. Mystery deepens.

[politick]

31. Yeah

I think that's exactly what they are.

[Ravenseye]

19. When is this from? Today?

Is this from the September 14th UN speech?

[Stephanie]

22. This is from today

[Ravenseye]

24. I have access to high quality release images

I'll try and dig up a higher resolution photo

[LifeDuringWartime]

25. maybe if you had the original photo

and could scan it at a high resolution, but currently it would be too blurry to make out any words

[coffeenap]

26. I have always thought he was dyslexic. This would explain his

lack of desire to read anything complicated and his need for people to tell him and show him things. (Not that a dyslexic person could not be a good leader--just not THIS one.)

[PublicWrath]

29. A question about dyslexia..............

Is dyslexia a specific disorder with a specific cause, or does it describe a type of reading and word processing problem that could originate in a number of different ways?

Is it possible that the origin in a PARTICULAR CASE could have other associated symptoms?

[goclark]

28. Is that a dunce cap in photo #1

Sure looks like one and sure is appropriate!

[Roland99]

38. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

Sure looks like one, eh?

[rabbit2484]

30. George Lopez said it is

He was speaking after *, and found his notes still sitting there. Lopez took them with him, and said most of it was spelled out phonetically. After ten minutes the secret service came and asked Lopez for the notes for future presidential library.

I have a feeling the public will never see notes like that.

[Stephanie]

32. Are you kidding me? Who is George Lopez?

Do you have an article or quote? Bizarre!

[politick]

37. If it's the same George Lopez

he's a standup comic wh ohas -- or had - a sitcom on ABC, I think.

[hopein08]

39. He has a show on ABC...

I think it's still on. Anyway, I do believe that the story which the previous poster is referring to was a story on the show. George Lopez didn't actually speak after Bush. The fictitious George Lopez spoke after the spoofed Bush on his show on one episode.

[PublicWrath]

34. dyslexia vs. simple illiteracy

Wouldn't a dyslexic be likely to scramble words written phonetically as well?

[KenCarson]

36. i guess that explains "nookular", they should have spelled it "newclear"

.

[Stephanie]

40. I think the photographers at the UN get some very good angles

They seem to have more freedom of the press at the UN than we do. Lots of interesting close-ups from high angles!

[imaginary girl]

41. And is that a bit of a bump on his back?

:P
