President's Arms Seem To Float During Brian Williams Interview

I noticed the president's arms starting to hover away from his body during the stand-up portion of the Brian Williams interview. He can't seem to help it. Somehow, when he stands, his arms just magically float away from his body and rise like two helium balloons.

I am developing a theory that he is carrying two invisible watermelons. Still seems like the most logical answer for his floating arm problem.

Peace.

I tried to buy some sudefed.

Have to get it at the RX counter.

No confirmation of my name or anything. "Just sign something there, sir"

Our drug laws at work.

Is he tweaking?

Sometimes he just does it involuntarily even when it's not quite 'propriate.

I've been there a few time (got thirsty and left) and did not see any people with this bowed up style of walking.

Just a note: PLEASE QUIT BLAMING TEXAS...HE'S FROM CONNECTICUT.

Maybe in Connecticut there all walking around with their arms out like this, but not in my home state….Well maybe a few steroidal pretty boys at the gym but that's it.

it's my stereotype, he can't well wear a ten-gallon hat with those expensive suits (well, at least not in DC) but he really looks like he just got off a horse and still hasn't straightened out his legs. Peckerwood would be another name for it. And while I doubt that that's a Connecticut affectation, I'll refrain from impugning Texas as its source of origin.

It seems pretty obvious to me what demographic he'd by trying to connect with if he were doing it on purpose though... and no, I'm not thinking "west Texas". I'm thinking generic peckerwood Americana, the kind who would appreciate his comment during a debate with Kerry that he tried to "keep his daughters on a leash". Woof Woof.

"generic peckerwood Americana"

Can't argue with that.

I confess to being somewhat defensive about Texans getting lumped in with the worst President of my lifetime.

Remember, we have Molly Ivins too and she's lived her a lot more than W.

Back to that wierd arm thing...I've tried walking around with my arms out at a similar angle and the only response I've got is, "Are you feeling OK?" This is the exact resonse that Mr. Bush would get if he were not living in a bubble.

he looked like a puppet.

It's discusting the grown men participate in this type of silly dribble. Learn something here, hatred can turn sane people into an absolute idiot.

Just how many sane people (plural) can be turned into an absolute idiot (singular) at one time?

The visual of RM's words is hilarious.

FWIW, as a Texan, I've noticed that men with short arms walk that "invisible watermelon" way.

Is that one of the Harlem Globetrotters acts?

Curly Neal....Now there's a brother who could silly dribble.

Curly Neil was in the house?

(older Harlem Globetrotter - amazing dribbler)

use a dictionary. A place to start anyway.

brawk buk buk buk

I think he does it to make himself seem bigger & more intimidating. Picture a gorilla puffing up before coming against a rival. That's Bush. Sometimes I feel like Jane Goodall trying to understand Bush's behavior.

he walks like he's got a lobster in his drawers.

That is wonderful. May I use it.....please?

Same os those animals that sense danger and start using various tricks in order to look bigger.

Peacocks, puffer fish...

Since he's using a personal trainer for 2 hrs a day, maybe he feels that he should be muscled up enough to require such a posture.

Hitler had the arm problems too and his doktor was injecting him with meth all along. Doktor Morrel may still be cooking his shit in the basement at the White House! We all know the higher ups in the GOP were always Nazi lovers and converts.

he even walks like one

I think that even chimps allow their arms to meet the sides of their bodies occasionally.

Mr. Bush seems to be unable to do that.

when they perceive to be threatened. Same with Bush*...it's an act of passsive-aggression meant to intimidate.

that during that interview, mattresses had to be propped against the windows because the protesters were so loud outside they could be heard. I think that a more truthful interview would have included those voices in the background.

We are NOT alone.

I have been making my modest effort to spread this obvious weirdness as best I can. I have met more that say, "That is some strange posture." than say, "I never notice anything funny." But I do meet both. They trend about 4 to 1 with those that see the weird arm thing.

Now the great majority that say nothing...who knows?

Trying to puff themselves up and look beefier than they are. I don't think they're even conscious of it.

Is that done with free weights?

yes, that's right. And you need to use chalk. Seriously- don't try to tough it out.

They spread their knees wide and take up three seats, the implication being their balls are so HUGE they coudn't possibly close their legs a bit. Meanwhile all the women on the train are left standing. Very manly.

the wires that lead to the earpiece that tells him what to say.

If he gets all clenched up and mashes 'em wires, he can't hear what Rove is saying.

than the bullet proof vest story that a lot of GOPeople have offered up.

then we will all be intimidated by his manliness. LOL I don't know. That is my guess.

Like those lizards that puff up a collar of skin behind their heads to make them look bigger and more dangerous (I can't think of the name), but when I read the description in the OP, I thought of those lizards.

Here!

Bring it on!

Something called "The Frilled Lizard."

But that's good too!

of the puppetmaster. He is otherwise occupied right now, so everytime he looks away, it makes the arms come up.

In the electric sense, not the coked up sense.

I have a friend who is a private investigator; some of the cases he used to work on involved sex offenders. My friend's theory was that sex offenders tended to hold their arms a certain way, sort of forward and out to the sides. He'd look at some of these guys and say, "He did it; he's got The Arms." The weird thing is, he was almost always right. Not too long after Bush got elected, I was watching him on TV, and it suddenly occurred to me that he, too, has The Arms -- just like all the pervs my friend investigated...

Now, I haven't heard that one.

I remember Bogie in Petrified Forrest had a strange arm thing going on ... he was a pretty vicious criminal (wasn't it Mad Dog Earl.) "Lookit the handle the hung on me."

Does your friend have any further explanation of this correlation?

Question is that if "he did it" in this case, what is it that he did?
