What Was With McCain's Facial Expressions??

[On the Road]

It was really creepy. Whenever Obama was talking, his eyes bugged out and he had a weird tight little smile.

Not to mention the jaw grinding, the strange gutteral noises, or any one of a number of other unnerving mannerisms.

This was new. I didn't notice it in the first two debates. And I suspect it strongly influenced the viewer perception. Based on that alone, I suspect Obama may get more movement from this debate than eithr of the others.

1. I really think its anger.

I think he beginning to figure out he's really going to lose. McPsycho is clueless.

[primavera]

12. That struck me too

McSame seemed much more emotional and inflammatory this time than he had in the last two debates. Like the whole business about investigating Obama's terrorist links and him being part of some radical pro-abortion faction. He went clean off the deep end and was all but foaming at the mouth tonight. I'm curious whether it's just a reflection of the fact that he's desperate, or if he's trying to pull a Rovian gay-marriage-style boogey man out of the hat at the last minute in the hope of inflaming wedge issues.

2. He reminds me of an albino lizard.

He was indeed creepy. I noticed his weird expressions when Obama was talking, as if he was trying not to bite him.

[Ken Burch]

27. Now that's just mean! John McCain looks NOTHING like an albino lizard!

And here's how you can tell them apart


here's John McCain




here's a lizard.


See?

(This WILL be on the test, class.)

3. He had to convince the world he was still alive and breathing...

and not just a prop...like palin's kid...

18. McCain looks sick to me

[Dem2theMax]

25. He looks like he's been out on an all night bender. LOL.

:evilgrin:

4. McPsycho Anger Management

I truly think that McPain's facial contorted facial expressions are his body's way of trying to hold back his explosive hidden rage....What an idiot...snort...grind...bug eyes out...snort...grind...bug eyes out...say a goofy psuedo zinger and then grin like an idiot...what a absolute jerk!

5. Trying to keep from shapeshifting n/t

[trueblue2007]

7. McCain is a Repilian Humanoid -- NOT OF THIS EARTH !!!

Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of Diana, Princess of Wales, claims that Diana told her that the Royal Family were Reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift.Template:Citation needed David Icke and others have claimed that U.S. President George W.

6. The split screen was used more on all the networks this evening.The contrast was stunning.

McInsane was simply insane looking while Obama smiled on occasion and seemed unruffled.

[Hansel]

8. He's a child. He's never been taught to show respect for others...

or how to act like an adult.

[Raschel]

10. Yep. the entitlement mentality. N/t

[occe]

9. I agree, and how about that creepy

joke/laugh he did at the end about vouchers and sat there laughing by himself for about 6 seconds?

[Raschel]

11. LOL. I was counting on that one.

[morillon]

30. Yeah, his laughing at his own jokes is weird.

He does it all the time, and that makes him come off as unbalanced. It also shows a profound lack of connection with other people. I crack jokes and say goofball stuff all the time, and I pay close attention to which things go over and which don't. My style of humor is more deadpan, I guess, so I almost never laugh directly at anything I've said. Now, if someone else in the group riffs on what I say, then I'll laugh at THAT.

But it's just kind of "off" socially to attempt a witticism and then laugh at it before anyone else does.

[rasputin1952]

13. Gas...little more than gas....

;)

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. What, this is not a normal expression?

I see nothing wrong with that. In fact, there is no better compliment to a chef that for a customer to react this way to a meal.

[tabasco]

15. They had him on uppers.

No doubt in my mind.

[raventattoo]

22. Agreed

No doubt...He was fucking cracked out of his head.

[mscuedawg]

16. His inner lie detector....when Obama had him "where he wanted him"....

...THATS when the blinking went off the charts!!!!

17. The lizard-tongue freaks me out

[beac]

Saw this comment on a YouTube video about his tongue:

"This is exciting. No matter who wins, it'll either be the first black president or the first iguana president."


:rofl:

26. oh jeez!

23. self-delete

20. You didn't notice it in the first two debates because it wasn't as bad then.

Tonight McCranky looked ready to jump across the table and throttle Obama. He was ANGRY. His tight little smile, jaw grinding, etc., were evidence to me of a barely contained fury.

Obama, in contrast, got annoyed with McCain a few times, but he never was acted like he was about to lose control. He was as calm as rational as ever.

[psychopomp]

21. Loved McLame's gesticulations after Obama's closing remarks

Followed by his getting lost on stage and lots of other bush-like ineptitude. You just have to watch that final minute again for pure comedy gold!

[Zookeeper]

29. That was bizarre. 'Just waiting for it to be posted to YouTube...

I'm sure there were people who turned away from the TV as soon as the debate ended and missed McCain's weird and goofy dancing around.
