"Mitt keeps taking issue with being criticized tonight - did they tell him this is a debate?"
Noticed that was part of McCain's complaint this morning... that Obama was being too critical of poor wittle Mitt.

Perhaps "smirk" would be a better word, but during the split screen,
Romney kept this fixed, VERY patronizing gaze at the president that made me want to punch his
lights out....So take that, Tagg!

(30,468 posts)Haven't you ever seen someone "patronize" or "condescend" to a person
with a smile?...It's a look that says "You are beneath me, but I'm going
to be nice. It's a way of saying "I'm better than you", which, of course,
he's clearly NOT. Obama has more brains (and heart) in his little finger than
Romney has in his entire being.
Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)we are absolutely but not exclusively both right.
Condescending people tend to be very good at
skin-mask smiles.
A real feeling, one that causes a real smile, is
something else, that's what I meant about it
being disconnected from feeling.

I think Romney was trying not to vomit - i read he was ill. He looked it.

(30,468 posts)Was he really ill?...it may be, but it seems I've seen that creepy smile before
when he's around Obama.
