Reply #33: That walk! [View All]

[Jane Austin]

That arm position is very belligerent. Bush may be smiling, but those arms belie what he's really saying to those around him.

It's an I-can-hit-you-before-you-can-hit-me or a reaching-for-my-six-shooter stance.

As a former middle school teacher, I saw it many times as boys did a kind of prefight posturing dance. They'd stick their arms out like that and sort of circle each other.

Now, as a dog fancier, I see it in dogs. When there's jockeying for the alpha dog or the alpha bitch position, they raise their tails high and push their ears back and circle each other.

Of course in dogs, they're doing that so the other dog can smell their superior glandular secretions.

Surely our Prez isn't unconciously doing that! I mean EeeewwwwwwwwWWW !!
