2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: My apolitical coworker's comments about the debate lifted my spirits today [View all]courseofhistory
(801 posts)28. In his usual condescending way
he let Leher know he would chop Big Bird's head off also. I read a body language expert said if you turn the sound off on the debate and watch Romney's actions, he is behaving manically and too aggressively. I think many people felt that way. Obama couldn't respond because he kept repeating blatant lies. To his credit Obama did say that just 5 wks before the election he is changing his $5T tax cut prior statements. But it got lost in all the manic behavior of Romney.
This is also in line, I feel with his wife's concern for his mental health if he becomes president. I have a feeling he does some of this sort of behavior in private.

Absolutely will do. Especially since she lives in a republican-held congressional district. n/t

I agree with this. As much as I wanted to see Obama nail Romney, I think a lot of people

Did she say what exactly it was that Romney did that scared them? Just curious.
