That hand pose looks SO out-of-place in a church, much more Hare Krishna than Hallelujah. Or is it just me?
It isn't you. It a namaste greeting from Hinduism and Buddhism which I have zero problem with.... except when John Kerry fakes his way through it. It's a secret gesture to his followers that he's hip and cool. Y'all in flyover country aren't in on this East Coast/West Coast thing.
John F Kerry is so AFFECTED. Really, really fake.
And this "I'm so 'umble, so very, very 'umble" pose with the hands is over the top.
