   I heard an interview with Ronnie James Dio once who claimed that he originated the gesture in the metal context and that it was somehow connected with the evil eye in Sicily. To point it at someone is to give them the evil eye, to point it up was to fend off the evil eye from somebody else.

   That would explain this picture. The president no doubt gets his share of evil eyes.
