The Bush hand gesture: a three-frame sequence

He's either flipping off the media or his right thumb belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records. But, to my eye, the middle frame shows most accurately that he raised his middle finger.

thumb turned over.

definitely, without question, a thumb.

who were protesting him at a mall in tallahassee when he wizzed by in a little sports car that he had, and as he wizzed by, he gave them the finger too and that truly is how the bushes feel about the world. it is their rule of law, you are with me, all the way without questioning me, or you are the enemy the bushes... they are so primitive...all that money and power has not bought them one ounce of compassion, refinement, or humanistic souls.

the left side of your hand COULD be useful, but I never noticed it on Bush.

And, yes, the Guiness Book might be interested in that, too.

It is a finger. maybe index finger or middle finger but most definitely a finger

:eyes:

in the first reply. pretty clear.

watch yourself. pause the clip and go through frame by frame using your arrow keys. it's the thumb.

that is, unless, you can recreate a situation where his middle finger is able to slide across his hand and separate like that.

that is no thumb.

if you don't have it you can't see it.

try it myself? sure...thumb up, wrist turned to show the imaginary group of people behind me, thumb down.

yeah, that works.

Can even see his index and middle fingers outlined on the left side.

You must be almost blind or working for the Bush admin. Which is it?

:)

as i posted. shouldn't be hard. then tell yourself it's not a thumb.

...after he executed the hand gesture in question. It has no bearing on the issue.

just because i've got the time and the ever so rare certainty that i'm right, i'll break it down frame by frame for you. just you though...because i care.



thumb up, knuckles out. (as seen in yours as well)



ooh...what's that, that's a strange tilt to the left. how could that be the middle finger?



oh that's easy, because it's not.

Not at all.

Of Bush giving the finger, before a interview in Texas, when Bush was young.

Though I haven't actually watched past the commercials from this sourse yet, it's nice to know how they're SUPPOSED to treat women in Texas.

It's not a middle finger. What convinced me is the width of his wrist. Look at that third shot. Does anyone actually think he has the narrowest wrists of any human being? That's his wrist from the side, which means that can't be the middle finger we're looking at, it's his thumb.

Sorry. Jump me, whatever, I don't care. I hate the motherfucker to pieces, but that's his thumb.

LOL. You should do stand-up comedy. Seriously!

I do wish it was... it is telling that people and the media think he would do that (I think he would)... and the stark fact we dont trust a damn thing they say or do... but I'm honest to myself, and that really is a thumb.. the wrist is turned sideways.. look at the wrist and hand widths.

Back, and to the Left.

There's no point in making up lies to make Bush look bad, He already looks bad. So we should be satisfied sticking with the truth. He was giving the thumbs up gesture. No question about it.

Have whatever fantasies you want, but please let's not play fast and loose with the truth like the Repugs do.

Bush is the typical angry white male who knows he can't actually flip the bird to the media without reprisals. So, he flips the bird in a stealth way. It's so obvious the finger is the "FUCK YOU" finger.

C'mon, people. Bush is a radical and a fanatic. Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. He flipped you the bird and he's laughing at you for frantically searching for a reason to believe a sitting president would "never" do such a "dastardly" thing. He hates you. He's an asshole. He's a prick. Of course he would find a way to flip you off without causing a media storm. He achieved that same goal in Iraq, thanks to you folks who think Bush can't be **THAT** radical. Well, he **IS** that radical. Stop acting like the New York Times and Judith Miller. Bush told you to fuck-off and you're frantically seeking excuses to explain his immature behavior. STOP IT! Bush is LAUGHING at you.

we are objectivly looking at the picture, forget WHO it is and look at the details... like investigation, notice the relative width in the wrist and hand... this hand is NOT facing back of hand to camera. The thumb is extended with arm extended... hold your own arm up and point the thumb to the ceiling.

truth matters..

On the nose, buddy, on the nose.

:applause: Just consider what he was giving his "thumbs up" for. Arm twisting for CAFTA. That is a big fuck you to American workers.

It works well for them. People are so afraid of getting a little dirty and then bend over some more. Screw that, It's his middle finger and i swear on my child it is. If it gets him closer to being impeached so be it and i can live with feeling dirty about this.

if you look in the other thread there is a post that says something like "lets compare", which has a thumbs up from the side.

He has a super long thumb! Here it is:

But in the third frame, it appears to be different color than the rest of his hand. It also appears that it is not attached to his hand.

Why does he hate America so much?

Because he's already fist-fucked America.

you people want it to be a finger but it is not
