Can someone tell me what the Romney's are doing with their hand?

[trumad]

Or---is this an EarlG Photoshop?

[Tennessee Gal]

1. They are space aliens.

After the 47% speech was made public, they asked for Scotty to beam them up!

[lunatica]

2. It's their version of the fistbump

[hlthe2b]

3. telling the proles to kiss their rings?

[PA Democrat]

4. The king and queen of awesomeness are presenting their rings

to be kissed by their loyal subjects.

[longship]

5. Secret Mormon salute.

It says, "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

[madokie]

6. Probably a hand rail of some sort

maybe the fence where they keep the horse. I'm sure its been edited

[iemitsu]

7. they are mimicing ann's dressage horse.

clop, clop, clop. oh ann isn't this fun? we're horsies.

[Enrique]

8. looks like the macarena

[MatthewStLouis]

9. That's how very special aristocrats wave; with a light and haughty flick of the fingertips.

They are different from the rest of us, you see.

[Faux pas]

10. Looks like the international sign for 'shoo'.

[Lucy Goosey]

12. That's what it looked like to me, too

They are shooing away common people.

[Faux pas]

29. lol looks like we're right

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. The SS GOP is sinking - the handrails have already gone under the surface of the water

[C_U_L8R]

13. International sign of the Yo-Yo

and these are the Yo-iest Yo-Yo's of all

[randome]

21. Say that three times fast!

[CoffeeCat]

14. They're doing the one percent bat signal

Fingers down and thumbs out--is the secret signal of the one percent that says, "I've successfully hid my tax returns from the nation's bloodsucking victims and entitled food stealers!

[Berlum]

15. They be throwing up the 1% Republican GANG SIGN

Obviously you are one of THOSE PEOPLE, and not, ahem, among the Republican FatCat Elite - or you would know that.

[Animal Chin]

16. They're holding up the check

they wrote to the IRS.

[AsahinaKimi]

17. It looks like the kind of jesture that says

Move along please, yes... you..move along.. go away... yes.. go now.. move along please..

[Turborama]

18. Beckoning a minion

To come and polish their shoes with their butt.

[MineralMan]

19. It's clearly a hand gesture of some kind.

They're both doing the same thing. However, I looked through a long list of hand gestures and didn't see this one anywhere. But it's not an accidental thing, clearly. It has some sort of meaning to them, but I don't know what it is.

Note the little finger tucked under the adjacent finger on Willard's hand, and the position of the thumb on both hands. Those are deliberate, and are not natural positions for the fingers. I'll look further.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Bunny hands.

I really don't know.

[HopeHoops]

22. Elitist terrorist fist bump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Sic em Bears (Baylor U)

[HughBeaumont]

24. It's almost like they have their hands on an invisible person . . .

[tblue37]

25. It’s just an awkward moment in a wave

caught forever by a camera. Watch when our Michelle waves as she walks onto the stage at the DNC to give her speech. She holds her hands up and waves at the crowd with both hands. If a photographer were to snap a shot at just the right moment, her hands would also be frozen in just this position.

Nevertheless, I love that these two were captured in this awkward pose!

[Denzil_DC]

26. For some reason, they do this quite often

Here's another example:

[rock]

27. They're sticking it up each other's ...

Oh. You mean the other hand. Never mind.

[bevb]

28. These replies are sooooo funny

Thanks for the laughs.

[hifiguy]

30. Squirrel hands. nt

[pinboy3niner]

31. "Seamus looked cute when he begged to come inside the car. Like this..."

"We couldn't stop laughing."
