Romney's eyes
Our local news is right-leaning in its political coverage, so when the run the national politics stuff I mute the sound in the morning. I can't take that crap so early. Well, I muted this morning and continued to watch the TV. What I noticed when they showed Mitt Romney speaking was his eyes. They were so bizarre. They were WIDE open like a frightened animal when he spoke, then he had some sort of rhythmic anxiety blinking when he accepted the audience applause at his planned pause in the speech; and his body was stiff as a board. It was so strange! I have never seen that in a politician. Not even other Republicans. The complete lack of comfort he showed in being up there on display was obvious. What else, I don't know. John McCain certainly never looked like that, no matter how much I disagreed with every word out of his mouth. Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle but he doesn't have that kind of strange facial and body language. The President is just the opposite, looking as comfortable in front of a crowd as if he were just standing with a group of friends.
I was blown away by it, money must be the only way this guy has been politically successful at all, I think he had real disdain for the people he was speaking in front of, as if it was beneath him to even speak to common people of his own party. It was just the strangest thing. His body language made Rand Paul look sane.
Something's lurking around in Mitt, I don't know what it is, but something's there that's just not right, and I mean beyond his points of view and general greed.

well-said. I can't think of thing to add to it.

Mittens has probably had so much Botox that his eyebrows are in the back of his head. But to take it to the level that you did (intuiting his "disdain" for the audience, which I have never sensed) is what I wish I did not have to confront when coming to this forum.
So what? Obama looks so cute or handsome or nice? I go by what people DO and if people send more troops somewhere they shouldn't have been in the first place or if someone makes a call to send drones to drop bombs where they should not, then that is IT. And I may shake my head and think: "But he SEEMS so sweet..." No matter. There is Universal Law and it cannot be circumvented with pretty words or a Pepsodent smile.
The only reason I am bringing up (or did so on the OGR's thread) is because of this thread attacking Mittens and seeming to give our dear leader a pass. The killing of innocents is a deal-breaker.
At least for me 
Now, on with the countdown! 
the guy who had the huge dance hit, "Achy Breaky Heart." For all his singing and playing, he couldn't dance a lick. So weird to watch a musician with a terrible sense of rhythm. Then, I found out he was raised in a Pentecostal Church, a sect that forbids dancing ("unseemly shaking of the limbs"
and it sort of made his a-rhythmia fall into context. I get a sense that Mitt has that robotic physicality because he was also raised 'outside' of popular culture. I know it's weird, but now when I see one, I think of the other.
