Another thing about Bush that I find a little less than likeable is his penchant for rubbing people's heads without their permission.
Rubbing or patting someone on the head is a way to show dominence over them. Putting them in their place, as it were. Doing it to a child is no big deal, because adults are more powerful than kids. But when adults do it to one another it's very demeaning, especially when done in public. It seems like a very arrogant thing to do.
In some of these pictures, these people are obviously OK with what he is doing, but in others you have to wonder what is going through their minds. They smile and put up with it because they don't want to cause a scene.
Is this a smile, or a grimace?
