However I also think you were closer to the truth with "big".


Either big tipsy or she's straining so hard to hold up the shrub that his weight is crossing her eyes.

Flady needed to tell her to get her left hand to another location

Just kidding, Laura sure was better than that eveil Barbara!

What was it she said about the poor people in Louisiana during Katrina?

I mean, we knew that in 2000.

But when they did the bailout thing, Bush wisely (not two words I usually put together ) told McCain that he didn't want to get involved because that would politicize the bailout and make it more likely to fail --McCain wanted the White House meeting.

So they had the meeting that McCain wanted, at the White House, and Obama ran the show and McCain was a nonentity. Bush and his crew actually were relying on Obama before he was even president, to help get something going.

She's a very sweet person. No evil doing. No bad habits. School teacher. Friendly.

But point a camera at her ... and she gets that exact same thousand yard stare. In every picture, the rest fo the family is looking at something 20 feet away ... and she, with frozen eyes, appears to be looking at a comet that is hurtling towards earth.

And frankly, the fact that Mr Obama would even allow Mr Bush to touch him is disturbing to me.

Michelle told Pickles that she'd kill her with her bare hands if she found any dress-shaped holes in the curtains.

She could do it, too.

He never has known how to bend his arm so his woman can gracefully take it. Jerk-wad.

Remember how he always used to sniff and wipe his nose on his hand?

Remember how he cleaned his eyeglasses on the jacket of someone when he was on TV?

Jerk. No class, despite prep school, Yale and Harvard.

W looks like he just fell off the wagon and Laura looks like a Stepford wife. The Obama's look like they are living in Reality.

Laura has developed the alien-wife syndrome like the wives of Romney and McCain.

I am sure she is a very nice woman.
but her fixed grin while she studiously ignored Bush drunk at the Olympics was such a giveaway.

We don't know where Obama's other hand is? And judging by the little smile on Bush's face, I'd hate to guess where his hand is. Just saying, you can see a lot of things from a picture.
