    Ah, gee

    look at that body language; squinty eyes cast up so as not to look at the devastation around him, arms crossed in front of him so as to block any approach of feeling or information that might lead to feeling or any human being that might lead to information leading to feeling. It is the very essence of "I'm not looking. Don't speak to me."

    Yep, we have an I'm-not-looking-don't-speak-to-me president. I could weep.
