Set Design
I understand that the President likes to spend as much time as possible away from the majority black and Democratic Washington D.C. and spend time in “real” America, but doesn’t this setup for his press conferences seem a bit odd?
It’s weird enough for the President of the United States to be holding press conferences on the side of the road, but if you’re gonna go for faux-whateveryoucallit, ensuring that Georgie still has a podium with the Presidential seal to stand behind pretty much cancels out any improptu cred you’re trying to garner. Does this bullshit really work on people? Are there still people who look at the President in his tailored jeans doing camera-friendly busywork and think “he’s just a regular guy like me?”

“he’s just a regular guy like me?”
I’ve seen the pictures.
‘regular guys’ don’t stand downhill from trees they’re cutting
Darwin Award nominees do.

Those are supposed to look like crosses-
see, he’s standing on the side of the road
with crosses, just like Cindy Sheehan!
Except his have the presidential seal, so they’re better. And, you know, he has godlike
authority and all that.
