Left to Right: First Lady – Laura Bush, President George W. Bush, First Lady – Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama, Representative (D-GA) John Lewis (Selma, Alabama 3/7/15)
It’s interesting how Debbie Wasserman Schultz chooses to crop the picture:
All of a sudden:
It’s almost as if Team Hillary realized their missing visibility was becoming a liability.

It might just be the perspective but isn’t Michelle closer to GWB than BHO?

Bush is flanked closer by the two first Ladies, yes, I noticed there wasn’t a sense of we and they on the stage. He has a more attractive aura than Obama. Much to Obama’s grief I’m sure.

You Know I am getting so VERY VERY Tired of all these Black Holidays and Celebrations, and meanwhile all the American holidays are being shoved to the back burner.
H3LL Obama has been actually ignoring the 4th, Vets day, Memorial Day and many other days that are American celebration.
We just got done with a F….ing month of Black this and that.(Ok my rant is off).

I remember JFK’s inaugural speech: “Ask not what your country can do for you; but, what you can do for your country” What have any of these people in the picture contributed to make American a stronger, better country? Answer: Nothing, not one positive thing. Their selfish selves have taken from a country that has given them so much, asking nothing in return and they give back nothing.

There are two uses of “bless your/his/her/their heart.” One is used in a way to show true affection (as in “He’s so good to his Mama, bless his heart.” or “Bless her little heart, she’s adorable.”), and the other is the way to which you refer (as in “She’s one sandwich short of a picnic, bless her heart.”). A true Southern lady knows the difference when she hears it. :)

It’s not the same photo, so it is not a case of someone “cropping Bush out” of the image. It was taken from a completely different camera perspective.
The light pole in the “Bush image” is not lined-up with the steel bridge supports in the background. In the “cropped” image, the pole is lined-up with the bridge supports.
