We've gone around, discussing "Bush on the Couch" and our two cents as amateur psychologists (myself included). But contrast his body language and defensive stance with this spontaneous (albeit delusional IMO) gesture of affection. He is getting himself ready to fight off a hug.

Contrast this to renowned author, philosopher, and educator, Leo Buscaglia and his relishing the human touch, especially hugging. Bush is the antithesis of Buscaglia, who would make it a policy to hug anyone who came up to him. See below.

Leo Buscaglia was a cheerleader for life. "Life is a banquet," he would say, quoting from the movie "Auntie Mame," " and most poor fools are starving to death." He was most closely associated with the topic of love and human relationships, emphasizing the value of positive human touch, especially hugs.

This association with hugging became his trademark at lectures, where thousands of people would stand patiently waiting to hug him after a presentation. It was not uncommon for him to give a talk of about an hour, then stay afterwards signing books and hugging for at least twice that long. This came about when someone spontaneously offered him a congratulatory hug following an early speech. A line formed, and it became an anticipated part of future events. Time restraints on occasion would dictate that those towards the end of the line would have to choose between a hug and an autograph. Nearly all chose the physical connection with this inspiring speaker. And he almost never left until he met everyone in line. Should someone be left out because they hadn't pushed to the front? Those would have been people he would have missed experiencing, he said, and that would have left him a lesser person.

So, my point? It's more than calling Bush on his claim to be a Christian or a "compassionate conservative". This is a human being who is self-isolated and who wishes to remain that way, separate and apart, which, IMO, also denotes a divorce from humanity, compassion, and caring, and perhaps demonstrates hostility towards all of us.

I know, I know, his mother didn't hug him when he was child, his father wasn't home and bullied him, etc. But y'know, as an adult, you can have the potential to compensate for your deficits and either he won't or can't.

And in conclusion, let this demonstration of an anti-hug prove once and for all that George W. Bush does not care for our wellbeing, he just does not care, period.

Thanks for pointing all of this out

who, if he wasn`t the president, could claim sexual harassment or charge him with assault. the guy is a creepy 59 year old frat boy who still can not have a relationship with anyone but himself but i still think that condi and george have a thing going on...they both share the same ideals , are attracted to each others power, and both have`t a shred of compassion.

the guy is a creep that surrounds himself with some of the creepist people on the planet

that he was afraid. I viewed the tape. It appears that Bush is doing a Johnny Carson style facial
mug shot, playfully indicating shock.

He has a history of acting like the class clown and it seems that's his way of avoiding getting close to those around him. When a young child fidgets it shows he's not comfortable if grandma wants a goodbye hug. A kid may act up,pretend he's a smart ass because he is incapable of showing affection. Bush has a tendency of having photos where he has hands on mens shoulder, as if they are good buddies. I often wonder if he's trying to convince himself or the world that he has that many "good buddies".

of any kind. I loathe the frontman but in itself, that doesn't account for much. A lot of people don't have a good handle on boundaries -- people with some types of mild autism and etc.
