Let me just say first off that I was very disappointed to see the photo of Dubya. Sigh.

As for Obama’s appalling use of a gift from Great Britain to dis Israel, that one angers me anew every time I revisit it.

The body language is interesting.

Asserting Dominance, Claiming and Proclaiming Superiority

  • Flaunting ownership of a status symbol.
  • Making everyone else stand for a meeting.
  • Phallic displays (legs wide apart, hands near crotch).
  • Dominant positioning in the middle of the group where back or back of head will always be turned to some members.

    First, where is everyone? Did someone fart?

    About Romney’s ad. I wish people with money would independently put out ads like this. Even the libs that are ticked at Obama will swallow a Romney ad as all lies. They will automatically shut down and ignore that they actually agree with the ad. They have been trained to react to anything Republican as evil and a lie. The ad won’t make anyone say, “Oh, I agree, and now I will vote for Romney.” The most out of them will be, “Oh, maybe I could agree with the ad but I will vote for Obama anyway because I could never vote for Romney. We can’t let the republicans get in office. ” (I guess a good ad left me ticked off that it ended with Romney’s name on it!)
