Quick Observation

Have you ever noticed that whenever Bush is talking about something that is bad for America (e.g. "the Enemy", "terrorists", "attacks") he reflexively gestures toward himself? I've noticed this in his speeches before but it's been very noticeable during the debates. Is he trying to send us a message? Or does his odd syntax affect his gestures as well? The third debate on domestic policy won't offer quite as much opportunity for Bush to refer subconsiously to himself as an enemy. But keep an eye on his gestures. They may be more revealing than you think.
