Have you noticed? Obama does not blink.
I know, I know, I'm pissed at the man but that doesn't mean I don't love him. Watching his performance today, It struck me that he does not do all that blinking stuff. He is clear eyed and straight on. Remember GWB and all the blinking and grimacing and twisting and smirking...how refreshing is this?!!! We have a President who does not blink 60 times a minute. Wow!

5. Ha! I guess it's a sign of insanity too. Well, anyone who would want
to be President of this insane asylum must be a little nuts! :-)

7. Naw, you get a different feeling emanating from Obama's eyes. His non-blinking
is the GOOD kind! :7

3. Yea, its one of the reasons I never quite felt trustful of John Edwards.
He blinks so much, its like he has some kind of eye problem.

4. I think that means he's actually telling the truth.
Isn't all that blinking & eye movements a "tell"?

6. W's facial grimaces blinking may have much to do with his substance abuse issues.
On the other hand if caused by lying there is also good cause.

12. That's because he's a terminator robot from the future.
That also answers the no birth certificate question.:sarcasm:

15. Thank you Ann Dunham for raising your boy to have a SPINE....
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 07:55 PM by Clio the Leo
... with enough self confidence to fill the Grand Canyon (No small feat considering the lot in life to which he was born.)

I always think how he acts as if he could walk away from the whole thing if he wanted to. Some men NEED power and fame. Not him.

He NEEDS to leave this world (a LONG time from now) knowing he did everything within his power to make it a better place.
