Very interesting. The blinking contrasts with the lackluster demeanor. Hillbuzz thinks Jarrett has him on beta blockers and other drugs to get him off coke. Shocking claim to some but not so much to me. Obama has always seemed to be on something to me even though I personally have not been around many druggies. Will we ever know with the propaganda media behind, before and all around him?

I thought that was a common body language trait for a liar.

Go to Hillbuzz.com. Scroll down(as of now on p.2)to the article"10 things to know about the Denver debate". Interesting take on why Obama was blinking and acting manic at the beginning. Traffic gets heavy there so you may have to try a few times to get in.

A perfectly understandable nervous twitch. The Obamboozler just isn't used to being in the presence of truth and brightness...

#3...It's Hillbuzz.org

#5 You're right, My bad.

He was blinking at about the same rate as he was lying!

When the voters realize that Obama is lying, Obama is done.

There could be another reason for the rapid blinking - a chemical one. A certain white powder when snorted through the nose does that to you.

My advice to the non-math types who try to write articles involving the count of something:

"Who blinked more times during the debate? Obama did - by a margin of a thousand additional blinks..."

Awkward, but far clearer.

Confusing headline - I even got out paper and pen to work out the math, and came up with Obama blinking 1.3 times more often than Romney. Until I figured out that they they meant that they COUNTED 1,000 more blinks on Obama's part than Romney's. Still, Obama blinked about 30% more than Romney, which is a lot.

But the article doesn't really state the significance of the excess blinking. Many moons ago, I took some acting classes and the teachers frowned on blinking as a distraction for other actors in the scene that are feeding off of your lines. If you watch some of the more classical actors, they blink very little or none at all on stage. Does it indicate the person is being less than truthful? Possibly, but more likely a case of nerves is the real reason.

I wonder if there is a timeline of blinks by candidate? I saw the blinking by both, but IIRC, Romney's blinks may have slowed as the debate progressed.

Good Morning site friends. Wife and I watched the debate very closely together. Though my sweetheart is a disabled Air Force Veteran, she is also a mental health counselor and human behavorial specialist with more years experience than we like to admit, serving and assisting our local law enforcement and court system with individual assessment and clinical treatment of criminals being processed through the system. This is what she saw. Obama is very uncomfortable, angry that his authority and position is being challenged, does not want to be where he is, intimidated by a one on one challenger unafraid to look him in the eye, hiding his inner feelings, issuing responses best suited for the moment, (whether true or false) repetative comments indicating signs of talking points or planned responses, uncomfortable with the subject matter, looking for an exit to a comfort zone, unsure of himself, and generally misrepredenting the facts (spelled lying) not knowing what is actually fact and what is fiction. Overall assessment would be to deny him parole pending further evaluation.
Straight from a pro folks, just wanted to share this with you. Looking forward to November 6th.

I was watching wishing I knew Morse code, thinking that surely with all the distracting blinking he was trying to send a secret message to his Muslim Brotherhood buddies or something. "Achmed, do not dispair. Our cause is great. Allah be praised."

Not getting bogged down in the headline, it seems that Obie was nervous, flustered, caught flatfooted by Romney's informed onslaught. And Romney was relentless, not giving an inch. Obie is not used to that.

He and his minions seriously underestimated the opponent.

With that blinking, you can almost hear him muttering "But, but, but...." as the quicksand engulfs him.

These comments, especially #15, have placed a very scary scenario on these events. What will be his response? Will it cause him be better prepared and more able to respond? Or will he just bow up and start with his Exec. orders and clear the room? We may not really understand the depth and breadth of his fear of blowing it. I'd hate to see him pitch a fit and make a glass parking lot out of Boston.

#18's description of Romney is a good sketch of the Western style of combat: focussed, planned, organized and relentless. As opposed to Obama's natural style, which is also the traditional Muslims style: quick, opportunistic bandit hits on a weak target, then melting away before the surprised target can hit back. Take away the element of surprise, and you see what you saw at the debate: hopelessly outgunned amateurs stumbling and being ground up by a disciplined fighting force. If only we could consistently apply those tactics to actual wars with Muslims, we'd never lose.

He didn't appear to be blinking so much when he was looking down so wonder if it was a tactic to throw Romney off his game. Given how low down and dirty he is, it wouldn't surprise me. You could tell he was pretty irritated at times when you saw his jaw clinch. He laughed at I inappropriate times as well like when Romney said he only picked losers. More than likely he was given the questions and only knew how to respond to them not everything that Romney brought up. All in all, very bizarre!

Morse code:

What I have noticed is that you can tell when Zippy is lying every time he draws-out the word "and" when he is explaining something as in "aaand". It is so apparent he is pulling the answer out of his butt.

I noticed an odd and disconcerting habit of Obama nodding at Romney whenever Romney took Obama to task. It was like saying "You're right. I'm an idiot!"

Also, Obama's face is very long, like John Kerrey's face. Debate night, his jaw was clenched so much, his face was round. Very odd. Then his eyes were bugging out and didn't even look like Obama's eyes. Again, very odd.

Well, when you're high on various sorts of narcotics, these things tend to happen.

Blinking excessively indicates nervous lying...read up on body language!
