We've all seen him strike it, and now the satirical weekly Onion writes this about what it calls Obama's "Looking-off-into-the-future" pose:
When performed correctly, the pose involves Obama standing upright with his back arched and his chest thrust out, his shoulders positioned 1.3 feet apart and opened slightly at a 14-degree angle, and his eyes transfixed on a predetermined point between 500 and 600 yards away. Advisers say this creates the illusion that Obama is looking forward to a bright future, while the downturned corners of his lips indicate that he acknowledges the problems of the present.
"The senator spends six hours a day gazing resolutely off into the distance," said chief political strategist David Axelrod, who regularly analyzes video of the pose with Obama, pinpoints areas that need improvement, and makes necessary tweaks.
When will the paper write about McCain's "Looking-into-the-future-of-Iraq-and-seeing-lots-of-US-combat-
troops-there" pose?
