"Can anyone visualize the French looking basset hound giving a speech like this?"
I'm trying, but it's just not possible.
There would be lots of finger pointing, no doubt.
As an aside, look at Bush's body language in these screen captures. He's relaxed, and just giving a little talk, and he's basically showing that he's on the same level as the other folks in the room. He really likes being there, you can tell.
By contrast, JF'nK's finger pointing gives the sense of a guy who's mad at his dog -- he's definitely not one of the crowd, and he's neither man nor leader enough to make that work.
