Who Are They Pointing At?
This is a
bi-partisan political post.
Have you
noticed that when a politician, no matter the party, no matter the office,
meets a crowd, they do that pointing thing?
Politicians
gaze around the crowd and then selectively point at a few people in the crowd
as if they spotted some old friends and need to acknowledge them. I suppose it humanizes them, they all do it…every.
single. one!
Oh yes they
do, watch, you’ll see.
When
President Biden entered the studio in the Trump debate, he pointed to a friend
in the empty of all but two narrators studio. The pointing move was so engrained that he
could not avoid it.
At a local
Christmas parade in my town years ago, the Mayor was on a float doing the
pointing thing. When he passed me,
someone he had never met, I started pointing at him…he started to laugh…he
knew.
Too bad
Trump did not spot the sniper, he might have pointed at him and spared the
snipers victims and his ear.
Is there
anything wrong or nefarious about the political point?
Nah, I just
think it is funny and like calling them out on their bull shit.
