18. I was more disturbed at the interaction with Barber

don't have the know how to post the moment, but when biden pats Barber on the thigh while calling him 'boy' - then the barbs from Barber's eyes as he walks past towards Reid - then when he tries to again get handsy with Barber, and Barber pulls back an fiddles with his mic (my physical reading of this is avoidance) then when biden walks past - the Barber eye-roll.

I wonder if biden is too stuck in his status quo to re-invent himself. He has trouble even talking the talk, let alone walking it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

He is not using the gesture to jab. You are intentionally misinterpreting. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #8

That gesture is him telling her what's what. Demit Jun 2019 #9

Do you know what he's saying? Her expression and the nun's Sitting beside her sure don't tell me emmaverybo Jun 2019 #10

I know my mother taught me it's rude to point. Demit Jun 2019 #16

I guess you have not studied gesture. The meaning varies with context. Biden often speaks with emmaverybo Jun 2019 #39

Wrong. She was waving her hands at him when asking her R B Garr Jun 2019 #22

I was listening as well as watching body language. Demit Jun 2019 #24

She was the moderator. She was seated at the end of R B Garr Jun 2019 #27

You are invested in your descriptions which I didn't see. R B Garr Jun 2019 #35

Better than John Lewis getting boo'ed nt NYMinute Jun 2019 #21

Yes, it was unfortunate many did not think Lewis' apology was enough floppyboo Jun 2019 #23

John Lewis is a Democratic hero NYMinute Jun 2019 #37
