3. I think he subliminally resents the control over his life/ his will that |

this country requires. He'll say it was an accident, but accidents have meaning.
Think of it; this is a guy who never experienced ANY restrictions, except the most minimal ones that he accepted, and here he is with his entire life, every second of it, circumscribed by the demands of his job. He's got to be angry and resentful.
The subconscious is a powerful thing.
Explain to me how else someone in his position could step on our flag?

7. Right. Being as High and Mighty |
|
as he is, you'd think he knows political protocols, the do's and don'ts, or at least his handlers like Cheney would've trained him.

8. He's a political creature. There's no way he and his lackies couldn't |
|
know what that image means to ordinary people!
I'm fascinated by these pictures.
How? I ask you HOW? Could that have happened? It's a very interesting question.

9. We should print them up on fliers and hand them out in the streets. |
|
Don't say a word to folks. NO arguing! Just hand them one of these pictures.

6. He hates us for our freedoms, well the ones we have left, the ones |
|
he hasn't yet managed to take away, that is. Are there any left? He's pretty much stifled them all.

15. That's the most bizarre photo op I've ever seen.. |
|
It shows their lack of respect..not only for our country but for all those that died on 9/11.
I finally figured out that the top of the mat says "forever in our hearts". I'm betting it was put there for a tribute to the fallen, most likely up against the wall..I see other items that have been left in the background.
