Mitt Romney walks funny...

I know it's trivial but it bothers me.

Very short, quick strides, almost robotic.

I noticed it again when he walked on stage to give his speech last night.

It's almost like his laugh. Very unreal.

Is Mitt Romney an alien??

A friend pointed out his short baby steps a few months ago. His unusual short strides are rather effeminate. Must be the skinny jeans.
P.S. He also shakes hands like he's in a receiving line at the palace. A handsome man with a strange bearing for a guy.

And then there's the way he rises on his toes when he thinks he's made a point.

Reminds me of one person --- NIXON!

Romney is the most awkward man since Nixon. I remember how Nixon drove me up the wall when he'd be walking with foreign leaders and he'd watch their feet to make sure they were all synchronized on the right/left thing. And if they weren't, Nixon would skip to stay in step. I'd think, "Gee dude, you're the POTUS, let them stay in step with YOU." Although the idea that he needed to be so regimented was creepy.

Romney is the same kind of creepy. Like he's not sure how to act in the REAL world.

But at least I don't kill and offshore jobs, hide my wealth (lol!) in offshore tax havens, advance neocon war fantasies, and plan to transfer safety net funds from poor and middle-class americans to the wealthy.

My friends can spot me off in the distance, before they can see my face, by my walk. It's nothing like Rmoney's walk, but it is...distinctive.

Hey, you can walk funny and still be cool.

In very short quick steps as if his shoes are two sizes too small and they hurt his feet.

It's a sissy walk, even for women.

as it has bothered me since I first saw him.

I agree about the sissy walk, but it also reminds me of a toddler that is taking baby steps. They aren't even half-steps, but more of a choppy, in-place cadence.

Really strange.

Mitt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Unfortunately he swallowed it and now he is having a bitch of a time trying to pass it! Thus the walk.
