Obama/Romney Debate No. 2: Body Language Counts!

October 17, 2012 Politix
Body language expert Janine Driver gives “Extra’s” AJ Calloway her take on how President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney handled their second presidential debate.
 
“I think President Obama nailed it,” said Driver. “With that chin up, AJ, the President is saying, ‘Hey, I'm here to stay another four years.’”
 
Driver said it was a different story for Romney. “Mitt Romney's chin is going up, which is not his baseline. He's feeling the heat.” She added, “It's a boxing match, and they're each getting swings in. It is awesome to watch!”
 
Find out more signals Driver detected in the debate!
 

The President and Gov. Romney will conduct their third and final debate on foreign policy Monday, October 22.

To Whomever it May Concern,
You Editors at Extra only took one piece of my comments and used it and twisted it. This is unacceptable. You cannot take my comment's and spin them. I do not appreciate this. I want it to be clear that I said more than just that he was aggressive, and that being aggressive doesn't mean he was overly aggressive, and on top of that Obama was aggressive too, if you listen I said "a little more" that doesn't mean you can just take my whole interview out of context.

I agree with Janine, Obama nailed the 2nd debate. His body language definitely helped him during this debate cause he even looked confident!

I follow Janine Driver on all of her segments about the Presidential debates. I think it's cool how she can tell us what the candidates are saying without saying a word.

I think it's cool how Janine can read the candidate's body language. I guess it really is true, "actions speak louder than words."

I enjoyed this segment very much. Obama seems like a body language pro! Romney needs a little help, however.

It's interesting how Janine Driver points out the body language of each candidate. I did think Obama did better in this debate, and apparently his body language says so too.

I drank the kool aid four years ago...but, unfortunately... for our country, Obama has failed. I won't fall for his smoke and mirrors act again. I am Supporting Romney for his business experience, leadership skills and economic brilliance. Seems like a stand up guy to me. Extra should have shown Romney's strengths in this piece, not just Obamas. It is frustrating watching the media's slobbering support for our failed president.

Never mind the so called body language............Obama's policies have failed America. I am not giving him a second chance. Hoping that Romney's experience and brilliance can help the US.

The major question about how Governor Romney differs from George W
in the town hall debate showed how flawed and inadequate the G.O.P.
argument spun its list of differences.Oh yes, the morning after here
comes Condie Rice in his entourage. Differences? And also the General
of Bush's Iraq war has to make the point THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES.Thanks
to the woman who posed the question.

If lying is a sin then Mitt Romney’s Magic Mormon Underpants are on FIRE! How can any intelligent American vote for a man clouded in secrecy who habitually bends the truth? Income inequality is endangering the Middle Class and making paupers of us all who don’t have those millions upon millions of dollars. Read more about the role of Romney’s riches in this election and the power of his sacred undergarments at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-m... The working class of our country can’t AFFORD to allow this election to be bought and sold!
