Tagg recently told WPTF radio that he wanted to take a swing at the President for calling his dad a liar. Monday night he crossed paths with Obama onstage at the debate.

“Tagg gets his upper hand on the president's lower back, but did you see what happened… the president leans back… you might try to one-up the President of the United States of America, [but] it wasn't happening last night.”

She added, “What happens a second later is that he pulls up his pants and does this wide broadside display like a cowboy… [as if to say] ‘I took care of that dad.’”

Find out what signals Driver detected in the debate!

That's amazing --Janine Driver's body language analysis is really fascinating. I love watching her on extra--it makes the show seem more intelligent--and not just about celebrities. Please keep her on as a regular--there is so much about body language she can report on--I'd love to see her as a regular. She's my favorite!

JANINE IS FABULOUS! She has such personality and passion for what she does! I didn't know much about body language before listening to what Janine had to say, but now I am a firm believer! Great segment Janine Driver!

Great to see Janine Driver on EXTRA weighing in on the body language of the presidential candidates. She has an incredible ability to pick up on the silent messages that people try to conceal with their body gestures. She is a rare blend of spunk, comedy and charisma!

I am so incredibly EXCITED to see Human Lie Detector Janine Driver on your show again today! Now we're talking! I am riveted by her analysis and her fun personality. The whole "Tag" thing is fascinating and I watched the debate and totally missed that interaction, so thanks for posting! After the President hit Tag back he quickly moved towards Mrs. Obama, as if he was dodging a follow-up hit by Tag! Driver should be a regular on extra!!!!!!!
