IT.IS.A.FAKE. BACKGROUND.

[cyberswede]

7. Well it may have been on one end of a tent

This is the soon-to-be-in-law

John H. Hager, former Republican lieutenant-governor of Virginia, sits in the audience during remarks by U.S. President George W. Bush about Thanksgiving at the Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, Virginia, November 19, 2007. John Hager is the father of Henry Hager, who was recently engaged to Jenna Bush, one of President Bush's twin daughters.



It may have been a tent. They MAY HAVE been taken precautions should Ga.Gov.Perdue's pray for rain thing goes awry and God rains on Va not Ga (God hates typos but hey let's face it they happen)

3. CORRECTION: It's a fake FOREGROUND

I think the backdrop has more validity that Bush does.

4. green screen?

What's going on??

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Did they have to put down the black gravel so his highness wouldn't have to walk on grass?
