Obama blink-communicating during the debate?

I, too, thought that the President was having nervous tics and that some of his facial movement was to disguise/calm the twitch.

I suspect zero’s drug use won’t really come out into the mainstream for many years - the rats won’t want everyone to know what they hid from us.

Kevin (hillbuzz) also thinks there is a possibility O has Parkinson’s - that would explain some twitches, why he looks ill, maybe medication to keep things under control ...

The University of Maryland Medical Center says one of the first symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is muscle tremors. These symptoms can be extremely mild, such as a twitching muscle in the face. The tremor can last a few seconds at a time to weeks at a time without stopping.

Could be Bipolar Disorder.

I have a relative on medication for this and one of his tells in a pronounced and distinctive facial tic.

I mentioned it here.@ 7:13:52 PM PDT...anyone wanting to see it could forward the debate to about that point. FR was very slow, so many of us posting blow-by-blow comments were getting *time outs* from the site being so slow. So anyone searching would have to account that several minutes before 7:13:52 PM PDT...the twitching occurred.

Jedidah, I agree with you....it was an involuntary twitch.

Kolb, your theory in nuts...I love it tho!

Lucky9teen, I'm reposting your great gif!

LOL, good ones all! I’ve been looking for video that captured what I saw but have not been able to find any (yet). These were slow, deliberate blinks and always preceded by a stare into the audience (same direction each time).
