President Bush's realtime response to the "5 fingered wave"
Posted on 11/30/2004 7:41:55 PM PST by Entropy Squared
The "5 fingered wave" has now gone international. For all of you Free Dominioners, and other principled conservatives, who stood in the cold for over three hours to welcome American President Bush to Canada, here is your reward.
Personally...I feel overpaid.
I imagine there were a lot, since socialists don't have jobs.
You know what they say: behind every bird is a pile of crap.
The President said that in a press conference. It was just a fun way to acknowledge the ones that waved instead of giving the "finger".
They waved with their entire hand as opposed to waving one finger at him.
Thank you!
BTW Entropy, love the site, but it has such itty-bitty little type! :( (She says...< <...squinting )
What a great photo of the President! Glad you were there -- waving to welcome him to your neck of the woods.
A five fingered wave is a regular hand wave with all fingers in an upright position.
A one fingered wave is the middle finger up and the other fingers down. You know up your----.
Thats the best I can describe it, those attending knew what he meant because it got a BIG laughj.
Is this genteel enough ? Good for an 81 years of age person, don't you think?

Try this one out - Hold down your CTRL key while you roll that little roller in the middle of your mouse. Roll one direction, you get smaller type, the other way larger type.
(I learned it from another freeper. :)
Yowsa! Too cool!
I like it!
Thanks! But I noticed it doesn't work on Free Dominion... Bummer!
Is the President trying to start a trend with whitewall tires again? I haven't seen them in a while.
From one whose eyesight is aging faster than she would like.
I tried it, nothing :(... Am I supposed to highlight the type as well?
WOW! I got it to work! Wierd! Thanks!
These people at Free Dominion deserve our support and thanks...these Canadiens did a great job and are very proud of OUR President...thanks Freepers from the north for standing up for America and her President!!
Hey E.S.
I was so happy that the Bush supporters got to welcome the President. I was supposed to be there but my plans fell through. I am extremely disappointed, but happy for you all who got there.
From what I saw on the news, the protesters were kept quite far away from the motorcade. Yet it looked to me (plus I heard from someone) that the Bush supporters were lining the route from the airport, a mere 15 feet away from the passing cars. Is this what happened? If so, GREAT. I am so glad he received a warm welcome and probably did not even go near the vermin welcome wagon.
I saw some of them...vermin is being kind.
No. For some reason, it doesn't work on his website. I tried it too, but no dice. But you can try it out on this thread. It'll work on FR for sure.
Good deal! Ain't it great? I wish I could remember who taught us that lil trick but alas, my memory is as bad as my eyesight is getting, LOL!
(The only problem is that it doesn't seem to work on Entropy's FRee Dominion sute :(
