Obie is a weak little man. And a liar. He cannot win a stare-down with Romney. Mitt has spent his life in one on one dealmaking and playing hardball with both other businessmen and scam artists, looking them in the eye, and being able to perceive one from the other.
Obie can try it, but he will lose. The only question is will he do a Joseph Stalin and thrust his chin in the air ridiculously as he looks away, or will he look down and sideways like the choom gangsta he is that's just been caught.
He'll go with the Stalin/Mussolini look this time. The base will love it, but how he thinks it will win over remaining undecideds is beyond me. Given Biden's tactics, it seems clear that they believe all they have to do is turn out their MSNBC base to win. Maybe he'll up the ante - the phones aren't enough, so he'll offer free ObamaPads to the whole 47%. :)
I think it was Mussolini who always thrust his chin out and up even on horseback. Hitler did it sometimes too but preferred to point his finger to make a point to the worshipers. Stalin usually just looked as if he had nothing to tell the world but he knew everything. Obama has some of each behavior if you closely observe him. I believe he has studied these men to learn about crowd influence when he isn’t snuggling up with a joint.
