bush makes a fool of himself in Europe
Advertisements [?]
The Swedish newspaper Expressen has an article with the headline
"President Bush falls in love - on TV"

http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=244308

It's in Swedish, but here's a translation;

President Bush is talking about an eventual attack on Iran - but his thoughts are somewhere else. Finally he can't keep it in and tells the female reporter, "You have wonderful eyes"

The interview with the Belgian reporters was supposed to be about the conflict in the Middle East, but what the viewers will remember is him flirting with the female reporter.
It takes a lot for a man in a leading position to loose his thread, but it is obvious here. Bush falls in love and can't control himself, says Lena Gustafsson, psychotherapist and expert on sex and relationships.

Exposed several times
During the interview the president shows his interest several times.
the mimicry, the looks and the color of his face, shows that he, despite the subject, has a hard time thinking about anything else than the beautiful reporter, says Lena Gustafsson.

Loosing control
The message that he is supposed to convey is so rehearsed that despite the flirting he is still able to keep talking about world politics. Finally when the interview is almost over he can't keep it in any longer and says what he thinks. He probably thinks the camera is off and therefore gets private. He feels like he has to express his feelings for her. Embarrassed, she looks down and it is obvious that there is an intimate atmosphere.

What happened later?
The question is what the presidents wife Laura Bush thinks about her husbands flirting. She can't be too happy, because one has to wonder what happened after the camera was turned off.
