Romney, of course, lied about everything [View all]
His entire body language screamed "lie".
Other than eye contact, which he tried hard to maintain… He's a supremely accomplished liar to keep it, his stiffness, fake smiling and exaggerated hand movement was extensive. Sure signs of a practiced liar.
Most people can detect when someone else is lying, not just by having a command of the facts over the liar, but by inherently and subconsciously detecting the signs given off by the liar. Mitt Romney's body language was off the charts.
The President, on the other hand, kept his cool in spite of Romney's effort to take him off of his game with his lies.
I disagree with any argument that the President should have gotten emotional and gone off on Romney. Bullshit. The President understands that the "Angry Black Man" meme is a real danger for him. As always, he defeated it. Looks at the entire argument of the Hannity and Carlson last night with throwing that shit out there. After the President's calm, cool and fact based performance tonight, the Fox Angry Black Man crowd will look like nut jobs by offering that depiction again.
Overall, The President looked presidential, he didn't sound like a whiner over GOP intransigence, he never looked cheap, petty and resentful. His style was that of a mature adult.
Romney, on the other hand, looked like a child with his hand stuck in the cookie jar.
I'm sitting here, hearing the praise of Romney's aggressiveness in one breath from the pundits, while specifying that practically everything he said was a lie in the other.
Bullshit! Are they saying that the people actually WANT to be lied to? In praise of lies.
I'm sorry, but that is not how you win a debate.
