4. We need a few of THOSE posted right here in the good old USA...
I've gotta wonder when the whole thing will blow up and we just start have riots and molotov cocktails in our OWN streets.

Maybe next year, when Junior attempts his "fair and simple" plan to further shift the tax burden from his base to the middle class.

We'll see.

5. Notice the secret service guys?
The security people are all wearing those tags. The open jackets are always a giveaway, the person in the second picture in the blue suit is listening to something.

9. Reminds me of Banksy's work.
http://www.banksy.co.uk/

Here's some of my homemade 8X10 posters for wheat pasting and or whatever you want to do with them. You can erase the captions and add your own. Some are one to a sheet, others are 4 per sheet.

Did you see how they would not even show the face of the person?

Flat hand shake , no warmth.

7. There is no way anyone can get near * without being investigated
before hand somehow. And that's only 2 wellwishers they could find apparently.

11. Photographer taking first pic is in the second.
Is this the only hand he could shake all day? He is, effectively, in a trench. brick wall on one side, raised area on the other. Everyone in the 2 pics are in suits/dresses, and most have identity tags around their necks.

Heavy security.

OTOH, Laura's meeting the press in the open on a ranch, easy prey for snipers. Then again, perhaps in Argentina peoples spouses aren't considered fair game.

15. And it was obviously staged. The "well-wisher" has a press ID tag.
It's clearly visible too.

17. The half-dozen "well-wishers!" Where's all those thousands who protested.
his visit 'emphatically?'

Isn't it ironic, how one or two carefully staged photos can entirely misconstrue a situation of entirely opposite intent...merely by the act of 'ommission' of a few thousand facts.

20. Look at the structure behind B*sh in the first photo.
It looks like a platform. I think all these pictures were taken at the clubhouse for the golf course that his hotel abuted. They sent a guy inside the clubhouse to shake the idiot's hand out the back window. That's the golf course behind pickles in the last picture.
