Why does he look so awkardly STUPID in 90% of the photos taken of him?

Here he looks like he's trying to perform the Robot.

[saltpoint]

1. It's just that the other 10% have been photoshopped to make him look

sentient.

[w8liftinglady]

5. LOL!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Because he's an awkwardly stupid guy

who couldn't piss a hole straight in the snow.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Because he is awkwardly stupid 90% of the time, maybe.

[gravity]

4. It's because he is awkwardly stupid 90% of the time

[madokie]

6. it takes a stupid mo fo to look that stupid methinks

an American shame, huh

[hlthe2b]

7. Because he is "acting" as President... He knows he is NOT...

and never deserved the office. But, he is also NOT a good Actor...

[Botany]

8. As noted before he knows he is not really the president. It shows

Hell, he has problems waving.

[CatWoman]

12. he should take lessons from the Queen

:)

[Botany]

18. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others .... Keith O has been showing a clip
where he is holding his right arm at 90 degree angle and he
is moving his wrist 180 degrees back and forth with his arm
no moving. It really is quite strange.

I really can't describe "it." Almost robotic.

[CatWoman]

42. awwww, Botany

:)

[zippy890]

9. Because he IS awkwardly stupid

AWK

AK

ECHH

ACK

can't believe he's still the frikkin president

[devilgrrl]

10. The camera just captures his true self...

he's very photogenic in a very awkwardly stupid way.

[southerncrone]

11. Doesn't that question answer itself.

[CatWoman]

13. I agree with that

but I know photographers take several shots of a subject including different angles, lighting, etc.

this is the best they can do??

[southerncrone]

15. Maybe the photographers are on OUR side!

[ninkasi]

14. He IS awkwardly stupid

He looks stupid in the majority of his pictures, but one in particular stands out, and always makes me shake my head, the one where he's wearing a Stetson, cowboy boots, a long coat, and carrying his dog. It's just about the dumbest one yet, except for the one trying to open the door while in China, or the one with Kofi Annan, who looked dignified, while Bush had that doofus grin on his face, and oh, yeah, falling off of the Segway, or dropping poor Barney, and of course ANY picture of him in his serious biker gear, complete with the helmet that makes him look ridiculous.

Come to think of it, I think it must be 95% of the time he looks awkwardly stupid. One thing for sure, the camera doesn't like him, does it?

[rocktivity]

26. This one?

:headbang:
rocknation

[ninkasi]

40. Yes, thank you!

That makes the U.S. look like the laughingstock of the world. He is either acting like a buffoon, or an arrogant, ignorant, wanna be emperor.
The difference between Bush and Annan is striking.:hi:

[kestrel91316]

16. Um, because he's stupid?

[Octafish]

17. Perhaps because he is 100-percent stupid...

...100-percent pure evil, too.



As for the photos, the other 10-percent of the time is an accident of lighting.

[Graybeard]

19. He has so much to hide he's afraid some of it may be showing.

It was always said about Richard Nixon that he was uncomfortable in his own skin. Like Nixon, the Chimp in Chief is awkward in his speech (trying to remember what he has already lied about) and in his demeanor (can't look like a former cheerleader, must appear macho at all times). He always looks like a man with a lot to hide.

[BlooInBloo]

20. Because he looks like that 90% of the time?

[indepat]

21. Vacuity in the extreme?

[Kahuna]

22. Because, stupid is as stupid does.

[scarface2004]

23. does the president always have to wear..

an effing shirt and tie buttoned all the way?!?!?! on sunday?!?! on weekends i wear an old t shirt 24/7 to celebrate!!!

[Bitwit1234]

24. Folks the best...the very very best picture of him

was the one of him at some plant in Ill taken along with Hastert. I do not know who in the hell was stupider looking. Every time I needed a laugh I took the picture out. I accidently threw it out in some of my old stuff and can't find another on the web. Come on didn't you think it was hilarious.

[rocktivity]

25. This one?

or this one?


:rofl:
rocknation

[CatWoman]

29. ROFL

The first one looks like Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum

:rofl:

[libodem]

30. this makes my day

what a stupid, awkward, jerk, 90% of the time, anyway! My spirits are lifted and my heart is lightened. Thanks for the laugh.

[CatWoman]

31. I'd like to see a dialog bubble inserted with one word coming

from both of them: "Brains"

:rofl:

[Graybeard]

37. Igor and his assistant Igor II...

...They just love dressing up in the Mad Scientists clothes.

[Ghost in the Machine]

39. I've seen a lot of stupid before...

and that's a lot of stupid there! :rofl:

Now I must go floss my eyes...

:hi:

Ghost

[cassiepriam]

27. Because he is drunk most of the time. America is in denial about his drinking.

Ask Laura under oath. She will tell you.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

28. Because the camera doesn't lie?

:shrug:

[baby_mouse]

32. Because he's on horse tranquillisers 90% of the time.

... probably...

[Hamlette]

33. It's a sign the MSM is not as fond of them as they once were.

They did the same thing with Clinton. There are zillions of pics of bush to pick from, the editors pick which picture they want. If they want him to look dumb and less than presidential they pick one like in the op.

I remember noticing that with Clinton. After he left office, during the "he trashed the WH" era, they published the worst pics of Clinton ever.

It's my own little secret way of deciding what the press really thinks about someone. If there are no unflattering pics, even if the story trashes the person, the media likes him or her. And vice versa. The media would get pounced on if the "printed" "George Bush is desperately over his head and has made a mess of everything he has touched." But...if they print a pic that "says" the same thing? Gets the message across.

Notice you didn't see many pics like this before about a year ago.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto. Domo Domo... Domo Domo...

[Libby2]

35. Because he is!

[Sabriel]

36. He may be awkwardly stupid, but he's got fashion sense

[CatWoman]

43. LOL

How could I forget that one?

the "belle" of the ball?

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

46. YES!! I printed this one out before! "Scarlett O'Bush"!

[rocktivity]

55. And here's George in a hard-working ensemble

whose neutral tones and classic lines transistion perfectly from being photo-opped with disaster victims to commanding respect at impromptu press conferences. Thank you, George!



:headbang:

[CatWoman]

56. LOL - He looks like he's posing for the Sears Catalog

:rofl:

[Eurobabe]

38. Simian son

[Hubert Flottz]

41. Because no matter how much you...

polish a turd...there is still the underLYING turd. Or should I have said overLYING turd...or maybe just Lying Turd!

[Jamastiene]

54. And he is not even as useful as a paperweight to boot.

Great response, btw.

[Rex]

44. It's because he is a legendary failure. That look is from partying and

not giving a flying crap until the very last second he appears in public. Unprepared and unfocused on anything to do with running the country. Party party party. His Presidential GPA would be a 0.8. Don't ask me how he got the 0.8.

[WinkyDink]

47. Graded on a curve.

[Rex]

49. Must be.

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

45. Trying to emulate human behavior. It's what psychopaths do.

[MiniMe]

48. Because the photographers don't like him either

I think they choose the shots to use

[malaise]

50. Didn't you watch Chris Rock on SNL last night

He's fugging retarded.

[paparush]

51. Muh Precious is still in my pocketsess!!

[MoonRiver]

52. We don't call him dimson for nothing.

[Jamastiene]

53. Because makeup cannot cover that much stupidity

corralled into one person. In other words, because he REALLY IS that stupid.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

57. Good Lord, he's literally walking on marines now.

Stupid idiot.
I think he drank too much on his flight.
Duckie

[Poiuyt]

58. He looks presidential to me

What are they looking at here:

[kskiska]

59. It started early on

Then, in office, he perfected it…

[Grandrose]

60. You people owe me a new KEYBOARD!

:rofl:

[lutefisk]

61. To be fair, when he's being vulgar with a dog under his arm...

...he comes across as much more confident and sure of himself.
