Last night's debate: The words mean little when compared to the body language...

and Obama's was small and hunched.

Since I have been engaged in my annual fall cleaning, I was so exhausted last night that I kept falling asleep during the debate.  The good news is you may now eat off the top of my kitchen cabinets (ladder required), and my bathroom is no longer home to a tube of antibiotic cream that expired in 2003 (really!)

While trying not to do a swan dive into my pizza (successful), and before inelegantly having my head fall backwards with mouth, no doubt, hanging open, this is what I noticed.

Obama's ugly posture.  Yep, my reptilian brain was so focused on his head thrust forward on his little pencil neck, chin poking out, and his rather hunched back, I couldn't even concentrate on any words coming out of his mouth (which is a good thing.)


Notice how Romney's head is balanced correctly over his spine and his shoulders are straight?


Say what you will about the words spoken last night, but the reality is people react viscerally to posture and presentation, and Obama's posture telegraphed "petty, mean-spirited loser" to the American people.

And guess what?  The Romney campaign knows this and that's the very reason they made sure Obama's posture was highlighted in this recent ad.

Debate drinking game...

one shot of your beverage of choice for every time you hear Obama say:

  • Look...

  • Let me be clear...

  • Now, there are those on the right who say...

  • Make no mistake

  • Unprecedented

  • Fair share

  • Fair shake

  • aaaaaand

  • thaaaaat

  • Starts a sentence with "so" or "now"

I have purposely  excluded "um" and "ah" because we'd never make it past the first ten minutes of the debate without being flat on the floor.

Have I missed any?

Romney's closing statement...

listen carefully as he lays out your future if Obama is re-elected.




1. “You will continue to see a middle-class squeeze – with incomes going down and prices going up. I’ll get incomes up again.”
2. “You’ll see chronic unemployment. We’ve had 43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. If I’m President, I’ll help create 12 million new jobs in this country, with rising incomes.”
3. “If the President is re-elected, ObamaCare will be fully installed. . . . If I’m elected, we won’t have ObamaCare. . .”
4. “If the President were to be re-elected, you’re going to see a $716 Billion cut to Medicare. You’ll have 4 million people who are going to lose Medicare Advantage. You’ll have hospitals and providers who are no longer going to accept Medicare patients. I’ll restore that $716 billion to Medicare.”
5. “Finally – Military. If the President’s re-elected, you will see dramatic cuts to our Military, that even the Secretary of Defense has said would be devastating. I will not cut our commitment to our Military. I will keep America strong, and get America’s middle-class working again.”
