photo of bush: 'black folks, I just can't hug me enough black folks'

[mopaul]

yeah, hug as many as you can when the camera is on you, that ought to take care of things.

1. It's a three-fer photo op

Black, elderly, disabled. Grovel, grovel, grovel, bush, as your approval plummets.

6. That's *'s idea of economy. I noticed the same thing.

7. OMG, a trifecta moment...

frightening...

[BrklynLiberal]

2. The other people watching don't look too thrilled.

I sure hope the guy is whispering "George,go F**K yerself"

3. But look at the Black Folks

standing behind Bush. Look to the right. Are they smiling? Do they look happy to see The Terminator?

Now look to the extreme left of the photo, right behind Bush's Back ( how appropriate). THAT's the real face of the average American today, including myself.

8. Best to smile fo de massa.

If we lucky he might reduce our time in de fiel from 13 to 12 hours a day.

4. When Clinton bent down to kiss my mom when

she was in a wheel chair, people were wiping the tears from their eyes!

They were holding their hands together as if to say ,"that is the best thing that I can imagine seeing."

... Smiling and trying to get closer to hear what he was saying to her --- notice no one is gathering around.

I was standing beside my mom, just like the lady in the picture. Tears were rolling down my face, Clinton was so compassionate.

I am African American and I can read my people pretty well.


Go Kanye --" George Bush Don't Like Black People!"
and we get the message in his words, his deeds and his photo ops.

5. Bush should be on his knees, groveling and begging for forgiveness, and

promising to submit his resignation and the resignations of his entire cabinet immediately after the photo-op.

Nothing short of that could conceivably be deemed sincere.

9. The woman standing in the jeans looks like she's about to

yak on him.

[dogday]

10. He got a two-fer there

A black handicapped person is a two pointer on the photo-op scale, is it not?

11. since you brought this up------

have you ever noticed that in all the pictures of bush and his sofa they never ever get down to the same level as the children they hug or as with this picture? when you talk to or hug children you get to their level. although i have no contact with anyone in a wheelchair it would seem that that would not be the way to talk to someone in that situation. i do know when i talk to someone who is elderly i do not expect them to look up to me i go to their level...but that`s just silly me, i was brought up with a different set of values that bush. my mother and father taught me to respect people

12. Anybody know anything about the shakee's identity? Not to be

conspiracy theory, or too insensitive, but is he a plant? What is in the blue folder?

[Rex]

13. To late for damage control you moran!

Floating black bodies on tv just don't lie, Bush hates black people.
