A symbol of the GWB Presidency

[one...two...tree 2,762]

I think I know what he was doing.

He let the camera have a shot of his face and let the people behind him have a shot of the flag.

That way, people on both sides of the aisle get something.

The man is a true leader. Inclusive till the very end.

yawn.

...you'd be wide awake if it were Clinton holding the flag backwards.

and it being backwards is all dependant on the position of the viewer. those behind bush (and indeed, himself) have the correct view.

But it's the job of the president to think of the country, not just himself and those "behind" him

sorry I cant help myself tonight.... I'll stop

The George W Bush presidency summed up in a picture:

does this mean ... he was railroaded ....

where's gary? Just occurred to me I haven't seen his posts lately. The train wreck shot and Bush's face kinda made me miss that guy.

He quit about the same time I decided to take a short break.

Did he forever quit? Or break too?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think he still lurks...we just gotta egg him onto posting again.

LOL.. Gary may turn into VJ's own Loch Ness Monster... many a fishing expedition will go out to lure him out of hiding but all will fail!

Well to be honest - George has just a bit of a track record with these kind of gaffes.

Bush is the Roger Moore of American Presidents

Maybe he thought this would make us proud, too?

lol...Charles, is he holding it up for himself or for people out, fronting him, off in the distance? Think about it.

I can see how he'd make that mistake and it really has very little to do with intelligence. When it comes to visual perspective, most people will hold or show an object from their viewpoint, even if others see it incorrectly. It's only after their either realize their mistake or are told to reverse it that they change, since it generally doesn't hit people (at least right away). Of course, another way to look at it is he had to hold the flag up quickly and couldn't sit there for even a couple of seconds, pondering how to hold it exactly. Had he wasted any time attempting to figure this out, tons of people would be calling him an idiot for doing that; as it is, many are already doing it for something they themselves have done as well.
