Bizarre Bush photo from official White House site

[Cocoa]

What are they trying to tell us by choosing this photo to represent Bush?

[citizen snips]

1. They must be playing hide and seek at the White House.

Wow - that is totally bizarre! I had to check it out myself to see if this was actually on the website.

[oneighty]

Please help me i'm falling?

I dunno.

3. Is it just me...

Or is there a pentagram on his palm?

[Betty]

4. Those lights look like space ships

landing. One can only hope they are here to take him back to the zoo planet he came from.

5. Talk to the hand?

They've been taking a lot of weird shots of the unelected fraud lately. Maybe this is supposed to make him look like gawd the father almighty or something. Weird shot!

[oceanpoetry]

7. I thought that was a terrier dog

looking over the top of the podium - is it the microphones?

[Cocoa]

11. I thought it was Dilbert's boss

:-)

[carols]

18. He looks more like Thing from the Addams family...

except with less personality.

6. he's just showing the number of votes he "won" by ...

Scalia and Co., right?

[Gin]

9. Maybe one of the web designers is one of us?

Could be?

[JanMichael]

10. Please...PLEASE tell me this is a fake. It is? Yes?

Because if it isn't then...You know...It's getting pretty f'ing weird.

14. Doonsbury's Herr Gropinator Hand !!!!!

Gosh that's weird!

[MrPrax]

15. Zontar! Speaks!!

Reminds me of the Michael Caine's 'great' movies 'The Hand'...Oliver Stone wrote that one...

"The Hand" is reaching out....does the Addam's Family know about this?

[poopyjr]

16. They are trying to show him in a "godly" manner.

[soleft]

49. that's what I thought, the right hand of God

[Old and In the Way]

17. HOLD THE PRETZELS!!!!!!!

[DieboldMustDie]

27. Hey! That sig...

would make a great bumper sticker ;)

[Old and In the Way]

43. Thanks....I think it makes a certain point about the

"War on Terror"*

19. Karl, you see my yo-yo down there? n/t

[salin]

20. er... that he is a 'sock puppet'?

"Don't look behind the curtain..."

[Cat Atomic]

21. Schwarzeneggar!

Hehehe- looks like Doonesbury.

[foreigncorrespondent]

22. A bizarre incident...

...happened at the White House today. Holly water came down from the heavens above and saturated the President during his defending of his SOTU address. Bush's last words were; "Help me! I'm melting!"

[NJCher]

23. ?!?

OK, they publish a photo like this. Prior to this photo, * mentions sex slaves and steroids as priorities for his "administration." He lies about a war and gets a nation sucked into spending $87 billion and that's just the down payment.

But Dean's the weirdo.

24. This is my take on the photo...

I have a photographer's eye...it's been a hobby of mine for years and this is what I see in the photo....the seal of the presidency is also a focal point, not just the hand. Now how does the viewer see both? From underneath. In other words, the message to us is we're beneath this president. He and his office are put into an exalted position and the hand represents power and control. I also find it interesting there's no face. Metaphorically speaking, doesn't that represent this administration perfectly? Secretive, hidden, man behind the curtain, et al.

[Cocoa]

26. I took it that way too

his campaign is going to be very aggressive toward us, threatening us into voting for him. I think they're going to use some of the same occupation tactics they're using in Iraq, bring the tactics back home against us.

[LifeDuringWartime]

28. perfect

that's gotta be its purpose

[Cleita]

36. I would love to see this photoshopped.

How about a yo-yo with the hand.

[Cleita]

37. Okay, the mind keeps going.

A picture of the earth yo-yo.

[leesa]

25. He IS God!

[jokerman93]

29. White House Gothic

Ok that does it. I'm officially weirded out. Get me some drugs.

[shooga]

39. kinda' reminds you of ..

.. this, doesn't it??

[jokerman93]

30. It seems to be gone now n/t

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

[mike1963]

31. Yeah but the one that's there now is pretty weird too...with the big 'halo

effect (yeh I know it's been done before) and the edge of the podium looks a bit like it's a magic wand he's holding...
:eyes:

[Ksec]

32. talk to the hand

[jokerman93]

33. It's baaaack

34. That we would be better off...

if we were being led by Thing.

[Poiuyt]

35. Soupy Sales?

Wasn't there someone who visited Soupy Sales each week and all you saw was this big paw through the doorway?

[mithnanthy]

40. White Fang and Black Tooth....

used to be at Soupy Sales door. I tried never to miss a show. Don't forget POOKIE the lion. White Fang and Blacktooth used to knock on Soupy's door and "speak" in an unintelligable lingo...as if asking questions...and Soupy would interpret for the audience. The show was much more intelligent than this administration! HA!

[bvar22]

38. Daddy, Help Me!!! I'm in WAY over my head!!!

george w bush*...not big enough for the job!!!

[Oilwellian]

41. Oh, here's another one

42. I see a vampire

Coming out of the coffin. I am kind of surprised that nobody else mentioned this.

[leftofthedial]

44. the rest of him is AWOL

[moof]

45. Ok Mr. pResident Once again left.... NO THAT'S YOUR RIGHT !!!

Another practice session to teach the shrub his left hand from his right goes down in flames.

[Printer70]

46. Hypnotizing

Something about those lights in the corners and the Presidential seal.

[Buns_of_Fire]

47. "I got the Presidential Seal,

I'm up on the Presidential Podium,
The country loves me,
It loves me,
It gets down on its knees and hugs me
Yeah, it Loves Me Like a Rock..."

[parkia00]

48. Maybe It's The View From His Dog?

I hear animals are very good at seeing the real characteristics of people.



Run Barny Run!
