Barack Obama's Body Language By Ron Ross 6.14.10
Psychologists say more communication takes place non-verbally than verbally. Consider, for example, Barack Obama's body language. Probably more than anyone I've ever seen, he literally looks down his nose as he speaks. He physically lifts his chin and looks down his nose at his audience or the camera. It's not something he does on all occasions. It's most noticeable during commencement speeches and similar events.
"Looks down his nose" is a phrase everyone understands. It's as familiar as "hang dog," "chin on chest," or "spring in his step." Thefreedictionary.com defines "looking down your nose" as follows: "To think that someone is less important than you or that something is not good enough for you." Many of us feel that is exactly what Barak Obama feels about us. We use such expressions to convey not just physical behavior, but to also to describe attitudes. They are used more to describe what's going on inside a person than outside.
Usually the two are the same. A person whose chin is on his chest is probably not feeling very positive. Looking down your nose is not a behavior or attitude that helps you win friends and influence people. In fact, it is an offensive and insulting. Frankly, however, I'm glad he does it. One way or another, I want more people to see who and what he is. In this way, at least, he's delivering on his "transparency" pledge.

FUBO!!
The attacks of racism on the Tea Party are a snow job to distract people from thinking about what The One is really about.
Farked Up Beyond Obama?
...-—...-—
Gee, and here I was wondering if if he EVER looks at the center - er, non-telepromted - of his audiance?
Does he EVER give a speech and look at the camera?
Better than we are? He’s much, much WORSE!! A slimy, lying corrupt politician from Chicago. Not MY president.
He is a racist punk....it is obvious.

Right back atcha, Barry. I look down my nose at despicable, lying, anti-American spoiled-brat little snots such as yourself.
Farked Up Beyond Obama?
To put it nicely: “Screw U Barack 0bama”.
Excuse me, FReeper ladies.
This is the way people from the hood look at their fella gangstas.
Didn’t he use the TOTUS today talking to the Gulf residents? I wonder if he ever has an original thought.......at least one that isn’t anti-American, anti-conventional, anti-us.
Just after the farce that brought him to office (I speak of the election), I found stacks of ‘historic’ Obama-is-god/king/president memorabilia discounted at Walmart. I stood there, disgusted at the electorate looking over a mountain of bad photographs in picture frames, on coffee mugs, place mats, clocks, etc. And then I began to notice that - regardless of size or textile - not one photograph showed him looking straight into the camera. All these rather idolatrous graven images of the ‘man’ and none, even by accident, portray him looking at the camera. I believe the most sinister candid photos of him that I have seen on the web are those which show him looking straight into the camera. I think he has been groomed to look aside because his ‘handlers’ realize that he would not be electable if understood or perceived correctly.
“Showing emotion is another important form of non-verbal communication.”
How does this apply to Obama? His way of showing emotion is by announcing: “I want to know whose ass to kick”. Is this guy incapable of feeling emotions? Or is he just too clueless to have an honest opinion?
One of his favorite things to say is “as president of the United States” like we better recognize!!!
His demeanor bespeaks internal conflicts; his mannerisms are affected, not genuine.
We all struggle with our true identity.
He still doesn’t know who he is.
Narcissistic serial liar.
Theoretically, a person with a severe personality disorder does not feel emotions the same way others do. However, they do practice mimicry and learn how to appear to react to situations the way others do and others mistake this for emotion. The willingness of bystanders to assume that an empty, malignant narcissist actually feels the same way they do about injustice or tragedy can help to conceal the true nature of the narcissist for years. WHen the mask comes off - other recoil and declare that he has ‘changed’ or is ‘not the man they thought he was’.
Friend of mine married an extreme malignant narcissist. She said in marriage counseling, the counselor finally pointed out that her husband did not know what a feeling was - everytime he was asked to describe his feelings he replied with his thoughts.
Hillary should have told him he had a booger at that moment.
I think he has been groomed to look aside because his ‘handlers’ realize that he would not be electable if understood or perceived correctly.

It is also a stock pose in totalitarian propaganda.
Think of the images of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Che.
They do not look at the viewer, as the viewer is too insignificant. They have their eyes on the shining future.
Sickening, I know, but check the images and you will see the same pose. Even their agitprop is plagiarized.
