The Author of Selling for Dummies explains why Bush is great!

[trumad]

"The president walks with his shoulders erect!" lauds Tom Hopkins, a professional trainer and author of "How to Master the Art of Selling" and "Selling for Dummies." "He makes great eye contact! He is buoyant! He walks at a fast pace! You can tell he's a great listener!"

3. Whatever it is, my mom thinks it's in his eyes

She's searched them, see - on her TV screen, which usually only ever has Fox News on it - and has concluded he's a good person. Maybe she sees the listening thing, too.

Me, I look at him, and I can just tell he's a crook. Go figure.

4. Who is this guy talking about?

When I watch Bush, his eyes dart around like Boris on Rocky and Bullwinkle, he stutters, spews, and can hardly finish a sentence. He walks funny, like he has a rod up his ass (probably does) and what others mistake for "listening" I see as him desperatley trying to remember his talking points while other people are asking him something completely different!

Sheesh! I guess that's why this guy is a super salesman, he can say anything positive about the product and know that a certain percentage of people will buy it, no matter if it's true or not!

5. You know he has a point...

I can picture * more as a used car salesman than I can the POTUS.

6. Whaat? The moron has a hunck back

as well as the device and we NEVER see him walk. Is this guy nuts? He also makes NO eye contact! He is shifty. It sound like he is describing Clinton!

7. WTF? In his universe, Spock always has a beard, and only

appears clean-shaven when they travel to the anti-matter universe, right?

Not that they let * out that much, but he looks scared the times I've seen him in front of the press. He's getting better at the scripted stuff, like the recent SOTU, but good God, he's only had five years or so of practice to get that part of the act "nailed down." And Sminkin' Snarl a great listener? Yeah.

The times I see him walking, it looks like an imitation of a cowboy. And his "deer in the headlights" to the question about can you think of any mistakes you've made must be seen to be believed.
