Peres

I get the feeling my president is recoiling somewhat in this photo. Do you? Oh–that’s my president, on the left.

    RE: "I get the feeling my president is recoiling somewhat in this photo. Do you?"

    MY COMMENT: I once respected Peres, but now he strikes me as the type of person that I would like to keep my distance from. That change really accelerated when he came to the U.S. following the Lebanon '06 war to do a PR tour. His rationalizations really 'turned my stomach'. He now seems coated with a very slimy, malodorous oil.

    Two boxers assessing each other at the weigh-in, with their coteries watching every move and nuance of body english. The symmetry of the photo broken only by the fact that Obama's legs are crossed, while Peres's hands are clasped. The video would be interesting, to see if one imitates the other's posture, which one looks away first, etc.

    Body langage: Obama: You won't rape me. Other guy: I'm protecting my privates.

    The photograph looks like a scene from Rosemary's Baby.

    It's sad when successive members of the Rosemary's Baby coven move into the White House. First the Bush's, then the Obama's. I don't even want to know about the rituals that go in the First Residence between the Obama's, the Emanuel's and the Axelrod's any more than I want to know about the ones that went on between the Bush's, Rove's and Perele's. We live in deeply depraved times.

    Criminals of a feather, flock together. Maybe Obama will introduce the Israeli creep to his new best friends—the CIA torturers and Nazis he recently congratulated on their inspiring service to their country, assuring them all that naturally, none would face charges for what they'd done. Curses on the leaders of America and Israel. Skin tone is about the ONLY thing distinguishing these hateful monsters.

    Look at the difference in the slope of the foreheads (notice how Peres' forehead has a very large and extreme slope compared to Obama's). Study physiognomy some time…it's interesting.

    Jews aren't White…they are genetically distinct from European-derived Whites; see – http://scienceblogs.com/gnxp/2009/01/how_ashkenaz... Jews are also culturally and religiously different than Whites.

    "I get the feeling my president is recoiling somewhat in this photo. Do you? " Not at all, but I DO get the feeling that you are dreaming.

    Well it was intended to be a light-hearted comment Ari but since you mention it I've noticed that Jews come in all shapes and shades.
