It's funny...even when The Shrub does something that should be natural and obvious for a president to do, it feels awkward and 'staged'.

His mannerisms, choice of words and facial expressions just do not convey sincerity--- though I have no doubt he must mean most of what he says. I don't understand how he can make a standard appearance and speech in honor of the fallen sound self-serving and cloying.

*sigh*....even Nixon didn't affect me like this.
