What Is Bush Really Saying?

In answer to this question most of us would probably say "if his lips are moving he's lying". But actually USA Today has published a guide to help viewers interpret Bush's words and is really quite accurate. For example, when he says "I appreciate that question." , it is usually immediately after a complex or tricky question and it means he needs a second to collect his thoughts. Unless of course he has a mysterious bulge on his back, then you better check for a hidden earpiece.......LOL. Another example, and this one is really on the mark, is when he states "Thank you for giving me a chance to come by and say hello" usually at the beginning or end of a news conference, what he is really saying, is that although this is part of his job, it isn't his favorite part. The article also points out that he often tries to connect with viewers, with folksy remarks like: "In this job, you've got a lot on your plate. ... You don't have much time to sit around and wander, lonely, in the Oval Office, kind of asking different portraits, 'How do you think my standing (in history) will be?' " What? You mean he didn't say "it's hard work"? You can read more of this analysis HERE
