OK ... I have one small problem with Michelle's speech tonight ....

[Trajan]

It's actually a big one - She keeps shaking her head 'no' during nearly the entire speech ....

You should always shake your head 'yes' when you speak .. or not shake at all .....

Still, what a brilliant speech ...... Delighted with the content, but speech coach is not happy about the head shaking ....

1. She actually does that less than she used to

It's distracting, and self-appointed "body language experts" interpret it in an unfortunate way.

But still not as distracting a tic as that bizarre thing Romney does after delivering what he thinks is a good line. I always picture him mentally saying, "Mmmm, that one smelled good." It's a kind of preening, like W's weird internal "Attaboy, you used a big word in a sentence correctly" thing.

4. Sounds like Khoisan - the "click" language of the Kalahari

3. I think shes a little pissed right now....

with everything thats been said about her and her family. We have a real clear choice and the head shaking struck me as a defiance and gave the speech a little edge that I enjoyed. I was ready to punch Sean Hannity in the face after watching her

5. Her words were so riveting that, frankly, I didn't notice.
