Romney's Game Show Phonyness was especially evident in his remarks today

[Armstead]

In his remarks at todays non-campaign campaign rally, the fundamental slick phonyness at the core of Mitt Romney came through, at least to this listener.

Romney said all the right things about the shared concern for the victims of Sandy etc.

However, there was a serious disconnect between that and his carefully modulated tone of voice and the half-smile look on his face. His "concern" seemed to ring very hollow and came across more as an obligatory statement than anything remotely heartfelt or concerned.

He looked and sounded like a bland game show host from the 1970's, listing in a completely dispassionate manner the rules of the game or reading the plug for "one of our fabulous sponsors."

Maybe it's nitpicky, but one hopes the seeming coldness did not go unnoticed by voters.

1. It isn't nitpicky.

He is hollow inside.

2. I thought the same

He said it as though he just wanted to get the sympathy stuff out of the way.

7. "yeah,yeah,yeah, this is a terrible tragedy....Now go out and vote for me."

3. Mitt Romney vs. Chuck Wollrey

Honestly, I can't differentiate the two of them in my mind.

They are ONE and the same.

See ya in two and two.

4. I listened on the radio, and had similar thoughts

Serious disconnect between the words and the feelings.

He sounded scripted. Looked plastic.

5. probably not

if they haven't noticed his blatant lies, his lack of concern for middle class americans, well then....

6. You mean the 'canned photo op'?

[GentryDixon]

8. It was told in his snake eyes darting back and forth,

and that incessant grin. He creeps me out.

9. yes, if you turned the sound down, he looked like he was delivering good news
