Romney's eyes [View all]

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.
