When Obama embraced Michelle, it was very sincere and genuine. However, when Romney went to hug his wife, it all seemed rather stiff, awkward - like there really isn't any emotion there.
I've said it all along. Romney has no emotion. The man is either an alien, robot, or sociopath...I'll let you take your pick.

The woman seems so mean-spirited and bitter every time we see her. She doesn't have Michelle's warmth of character.

(82,383 posts)It appears to me that Obamas have a genuine successful marriage in 21st century terms.
The Rmoneys have one based on tradition from the past. There is likely less give and take a lot more man is the head sort of thing. IMO no matter what is said about it, women don't like that and it's why the progress of the last few decades has been made, in making a marriage an equal partnership.

Also noticed that when Romney is in a group of voters, there is a lot of distance around him, while the Pres. gets in close and touches and hugs people.
Then there is the famous different shots of holding a baby. I have seen at least 3 pics of Romney holding a kid at arm's length, while babies in Obama's arms get all mellow and relaxed.

Last debate, their kiss was a bare touch.
