22. Speaking as a tailor, you are probably correct
Looks like something heavy, a bit bulky, and with some sort of toggle closure. Not up on the lastest in body armor styles, but I see signs of plate lines.

Plus, he has on one of his 'big suits' which suggests to me he has on armor under it.

26. Body armor doesn't have external wires.
The line up near his left shoulder is the edge
of his body armor.

The lines across his back are something else entirely.
No armor has seams there, and they're not at all even.

Those are wires.

44. Then it is wires OVER armor
which is an indication the handlers are doin so well OR the receiver can't receive through the armor.

Why don't they just implant a chip in his brain?

53. Yes. I think he put the receiver on last, just under his jacket, in that pic.
Body armor would easily conceal those wires
if they were underneath; they must have had
some pressing reason to put them overtop it.

Perhaps they were doing some last-minute adjustment,
or maybe his lordship just isn't entrusted with the
expensive shiney things any longer than necessary?

54. or maybe it's just uncomfortable underneath the body armor
It would be much more comfortable to have the transmission equipment on top.

Easy to believe that he's that paranoid

Or just fantasizing that someday trouble might happen
and he'd get a chance to kill someone, up close and personal

Might even be that ornate Colt 45 he "inherited" from Saddam

them look like straight jacket straps to me. :rofl:

20. HERE'S WHAT I THINK IT IS >>>
http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2004/10/08/bulge/index.html

Bush's mystery bulge
The rumor is flying around the globe. Was the president wired during the first debate?

By Dave Lindorff

Page 1October 8, 2004 | Was President Bush literally channeling Karl Rove in his first debate with John Kerry? That's the latest rumor flooding the Internet, unleashed last week in the wake of an image caught by a television camera during the Miami debate. The image shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer.

The president is not known to wear a back brace, and it's safe to say he wasn't packing. So was the bulge under his well-tailored jacket a hidden receiver, picking up transmissions from someone offstage feeding the president answers through a hidden earpiece? Did the device explain why the normally ramrod-straight president seemed hunched over during much of the debate?

21. That bump just off center is awflully big for an on/off switch.
Maybe a GPS in case he wanders off on the pig farm.

Look at the braid on the officer's cap. None on hers and no shoulder rank.

But it does look like she is about to crack up at the bozo.

25. It's part of his transponder
They're afraid that when he wanders off they won't be able to find him, so they've equipped him with a GPS transponder.

It's kind of like the tracking device they equipped Robocop with, but there is a difference: the bad guys needed to track the heroic Robocop so they could try to kill him if necessary. The Secret Service doesn't want to suffer the indignity of making this speech over and over: "Good morning, patriotic citizen. We seem to have lost the President. Oh no, this happens all the time, it's not a big deal. Did you take him in? Oh, you didn't? Well, if you see him, could you bring him inside, give him milk and cookies, and call this number so we can come out and pick him up? Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant day."

42. I'm shocked this still hasn't come out.
I can see it every time he has a press conference. It's so obvious when he pauses and dips his head and waits for his cue. I know the press corps knows what he's up to, and they let him get away with it. Why?

51. It is body armor
what you guys think are wires is precisely a badly done jacket, or he has gained weight

Or... they increased the rating of that armor... becoming heavier and thicker... on the bright side, HOTTER too.

I used to wear it as a medic... and when my clothing did not fit just right it did that

59. It is not body armor. I saw a photo of him wearing something
while he was driving his truck on his fake ranch. I suspect that it is a medical device for brain abnormalities. I suspect that he has has mini strokes, which accounts for his mouth drooping, his eye watering, excessive sweating & salviva dripping from his mouth. This could account for his strange speech screw-ups.
