In reply to the discussion: The body language in yesterday's CV presser. [View all]subana
(586 posts)96. I imagine about now he should be wishing...
...he had done something different on viruses that experts & Obama admin had tried to warn him about! I'm sure that really makes him mad! I saw an estimate today of the package the Senate is trying to negotiate & the projected money that will be spent. These are mostly republicans & we all know how much they hate spending money on anything!
that is what yesterday's presser appeared to be - a campaign event.
That's always his motive! In every situation, he wonders how will this affect me & how can I spin it (blame democrats) to my advantage?
oh yeah, speaking of his behavior onstage, every time someone else speaks he stands over their shoulder where he acts like he's trying to read their notes while I'm sure he already knows what they planned on saying anyway. He also stands there, slightly swaying from side to side as if he's a little kid trying to amuse himself during a boring appearance!

Fauci is probably worried he would be fired and that would cost millions of lives.
