WND Exclusive CHANGING OF THE GUARD Stress takes toll on Obama, develops chronic facial tic Michelle said to be distraught over spasms under right eye Posted: November 29, 2008 11:40 pm Eastern

The strain of the long campaign and a frenetic transition period is beginning to wear on the face of President-elect Barack Obama, who has developed a facial tic under his right eye.
The tic on the lower part of his right orbital bone is clearly visible in his recent interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. Campaign insiders say it first emerged during the primary season and has now become chronic.
A facial tic is a repetitive, spasmodic movement often involving the eyes and facial muscles. The cause of tics is unknown, but stress appears to increase their severity.
"The patients I've treated with tic disorders had one thing in common: They knew that the tics worsened when they were under stress," said Dr. Robert T. London, a psychiatrist with the New York University Medical Center.

Besides the economic crisis, Obama is having to worry about his own security. The Secret Service reportedly is dealing with more threats against him than any other president-elect in history.
"There are a lot of things that keep me up at night," Obama, 47, confided in the ABC interview...

Mr. T put it there!
but..but...he is “The One”, “The Annointed”, he is the one we’ve been waiting for. he’s going to solve all the problems of the world, everyone will live in peace and harmony while holding hands and singing kumbaya..and he can’t stop a facial tic???/s
Didn’t Idi Amin also have a facial tic? Hmmmmmmmm....
Enquiring minds want to know, Your Excellecy. Whose name is on your REAL Birth Certificate? Was his last name “Dada”?
I wonder how old he’ll look in 4 or 8 years. Presidents seem to age at least twice as fast as average.
Nothing a little Botox can not take care of. Botox is for such tics as Asprin is for headaches. Small matter.
I think the stress of the Office of the President Elect is getting to him. My, OOh my!! Wonder what will happen if he takes office?! Or is this what he’s worried about?! WILL HE ACTUALLY TAKE OFFICE or will he be the only President to be Selected and yet, not meet the basic requirements of a natural born US citizen therefore creating the largest scandal in history?
Ya know that saying about the BIGGER they are...
Perhaps where the father’s full legal name goes, there’s just an “X”.
[tics can also be a “tell”. no matter how “good” they are at it, liars/guilty people/cheaters always have *some* kind of “tell”.]
What a Joke !
I still can’t digest the fact that come Jan 20 this clown is going to be President !
Dude needs to get a God and begin solid and frequent spiritual practice, besides just going to the gym. Unfortunately he thinks he is god. Poor thing is clueless of his ignorance. Maybe he will soon realize he is not god.
"Obama? Tic? BLOODSUCKER!"
they’ll be blaming FR for this.
[tics can also be a “tell”. no matter how “good” they are at it, liars/guilty people/cheaters always have *some* kind of “tell”.]

Exactly!!! I think this is pretty “telling”. He should not really be worried about anything at this point. He’s NOT President... YET. That phony podium is about as fake as the election.
Not to worry Mr. Prez - elect. Those terrorists, the economic crisis, fuel shortage, possible nuclear threats, mad-dog-biting-angry-liberals that you made impossible promises to, conservatives and independents who do not really like you and the rest of the world who seems intent on America’s destruction can wait. Sleep tight!!
I had to pause the video to make some comments...Walters says that he is “EXPECTED to cure the economy and fix the planet” ...wasnt it Obama who said he was going to “change the world” ? ? Now he is nervous. Cant imagine why. Suckers voted him in.
Must have been all that cocaine.
> Perhaps where the father’s full legal name goes, there’s just an “X”.
Could be. I’m leaning toward him being somebody’s love child. Wouldn’t it be fun if it were Idi Amin! That would be Guinnes Book of Word Records HELL FUNNY. The papers would go nuts!
The weird thing is, all this speculation is needless: all he has to do is release his Birth Certificate. The real one.
> [tics can also be a “tell”. no matter how “good” they are at it, liars/guilty people/cheaters always have *some* kind of “tell”.]
Hmmmmmmm.... interesting thought, certainly plausible. He does, after all, come from Chicago. Plenty of guilty stuff to go around in Chicago.
Inspector Closeau’s boss developed a facial tic and we all know how that ended.
Good grief. This guy hasn’t even taken office yet. Oh, yes, he has created this “office of the President-Elect”. Anyway, he is in over his head; he was never even remotely qualified for this job. The stuff this jerk said about Bush is unforgivable. Maybe this is his just reward.
God help us and the USA.
I don’t want to break him down, fer cryin out loud he’s gonna be President. We need a capable president.
But it wouldn’t surprise me one single bit if he’s the first president to go postal... he ain’t got a clue about what he bit off.
I can’t believe it either.
I got a feeling something is coming by Jan 20, but I can’t tell you what it is. I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t know what it is.
Maybe it was just indigestion but I had a funny premonition over a year ago. One that did not make sense, so I won’t name it publicly or privately. I can only assume I’m wrong.
But so many things have happened this year, Russia/Georgia, financial extremes, gov’t bailouts, wild stock markets, etc. Maybe it’s not so far-fetched.
Hmmmm, wonder if diagnosing him with attention deficit was closer to home than not;
http://healthguide.howstuffworks.com/facial-tics-dictionary.htm
Certain medications, such as methylphenidate (used to treat hyperactivity in children), were previously thought to precipitate tics in children already prone to the disorder. However, recent studies published do not support this notion and suggest that these
medications can be used in children with tics who also have attention deficit disorder,
which commonly occurs in the same population.
hmmmm, not Downs, but Tourette?
http://www.neuro-vision.us/Articles/facial_tics_and_facial_twitch_how_to_eliminate_them.html
Such tics are often symptomatic of nervous disorders such as Tourette syndrome.
He’s looking more and more like a James Bond movie villain with each passing day.
Wasn’t Øbama said to be using vocabulary that had a hypnotic effect?
Eliminate Facial Tics With Hypnosis and Nlp(Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/eliminate-facial-tics-with-hypnosis-and-nlp-226706.html
Tics can result from some nutritional deficiencies such as a lack of magnesium, but they can also very often be symptoms of other disorders such as Tourette syndrome, whose causes are thought to be neurological, and, to a certain extent, genetically inherited.
Maybe the pressure of figure out how to break all those promise to left wing extremist is getting to him.
He’ll probably resort to surgery if this keeps up.
I feel the same way. He is not my President.
I noticed a significant change in his demeanor right after he and Plugs got their first top secret briefing. You could see the stress on his face and in his body language. You can't hide that stuff, no matter how much coaching you receive. At that point I think Obammy's "chickens came home to roost." I think it was after that briefing when he realized he'd bit off way, way more than he could chew. He's clearly way out of his league....
This is why you should be tested with a small executive responsibility followed by larger and larger ones...to simply see if you can handle it. His desire to go from the on ramp to the high speed lane in one fell swoop is going to put us all in peril.
He probably will have Bell’s Paulsy by March...if he doesn’t have it already.
I’m conflicted about this. If he does not lose his cool, he can destroy our country and its institutions by his choices and legislation! If he does lose his cool, it will weaken his ability to destroy our country but make us vulnerable to our enemies.
However, we are already vulnerable now that he’s our next POTUS.
We’re screwed no matter which way you look at it. :(
Well, Israel has got to hit Iran before Bush leaves office. That’s a huge possibility.
Brilliant statement. To add to that. Look how he lost his cool when he got one “hard” question at his recent press briefing. God. The guy has not been tested in the least yet. We are screwed.
It's not a tic, it's a tell. It only happens when he's lying.
:D
Yes, that would certainly seem so. Waiting for Obama might have the “citizen of the world” running to the U.N. to try and declare war on Israel.
Yep. The "career politicians" are one of the main reasons we find ourselves in the mess we are in. I think most of the truly qualified business people want absolutely nothing to do with gubmint or the media anal probe that comes with public office.
It reminds me of the old adage about teachers: "Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't teach go into administration."
The same thing is true for the majority of our current crop of politicians. If they could make a living outside of gubmint, they would. Since they can't manage to eek out a living in the private sector, they seek to become gubmint bureaucrats for life...
Regarding “first emerging during the primary season”... My theory is that durng the primary season he experienced his first actual competition. He had never had competition before. If the MSM gives him his continuous free-ride during his Presidency, maybe he can make it.
He is a very weak man and should not be POTUS.
He has aged INCREDIBLY in just one short month, it is incredible. I think he is like the boy that ran after the tiger, and caught it. NOW WHAT!!??
He will not be able to handle the stress and what with these international incidents in my estimation. I look for him to resign in midstream due to health reasons, or otherwise forced out under constitutional provises.
And all the while, these idiots in the streets, 52% of the American people hopeless dumbed down, shouted "Change!" and "Yes we can!" What a joke. What a letdown. What a mistake.

“Stress and anxiety have also been shown to provoke and significantly increase the frequency of facial tics.”
-
... from the article you cited. This would be my guess. I think Hillary and Bill as well as trying very hard not to let this BC thing go public is really wearing him down. (fingers crossed about this weeks SC cases.)
God help us all!!

Are you forgetting his vast experience as a community organizer? LOL
Maybe BO had a look at the video made by www.howobamagotelected.com and saw all his really ignorant voters. You would think he and his advisors (if they can be honest!) must be appalled by it.
And as a result, we are going to be dead meat as Iranians, al Qaeda terrorists, North Korea and their nukes, and Venezuela, etc. all feel emboldened and probably move against the US on multiple fronts come February and March.
My only trust and hope is in the career generals and admirals of our armed forces who will save our Republic if need be--I am sure they would and they have true leadership capability in a crisis.

I agree with you. I think he knows he can’t handle all the stress. Not just that but we know there are some REAL thugs and possible terrorist connections with the campaign. He could be sweatin’ not be able to produce. He’s put himself in a real pinch... and Hillary LOVES it!!
True the punk has a mean tic under his right eye and he’s not in office yet he will fold fast the house shrink is going to have big job ahead with the weak one.
