If you go by body language Obama & wife looked wrecked tonight in Iowa. Also....Obama is taking tomorrow off to play basketball while Mitt hits the road....WTH ?! This is only a guess on my part, but perhaps Obama was told this weekend it’s over.
Just the “thought” that America would re-elect him tells me it’s time to prepare for WWIII.
Note that Romney is bout 15 years older than Obama, yet appears healthy and well-rested.
I totally agree—their body language said it all, especially when Michelle hugged him and mouthed, “It’s okay.” Most people say ‘it’s okay’ when facing trouble.
I’m shocked the media, which usually picks up body language (remember G.H.W. Bush looking at his watch?), had no mention of it other than to say that the Obamas were emotional because it was their last political appearance. Heck, I would be jumping for joy if that was the case and I was on my way to victory. No more chicken dinners and living on an airplane.
Another thing I noticed is the two daughters are not anywhere to be seen. I realize they want to protect them and the girls have their own lives with school and their routines, but you would think for historical purposes they would want their daughters to witness their father’s last political victory. I think they are protecting them from a possible loss and want to prepare them for what’s ahead without media attention.
The slimey John Heilman was just on Morning Joe saying the same thing about the Romneys in Ohio. Said they must have seen their internals.
Or Obama knows he has it locked up in OH and Romney’s desperate for a last minute push. Not always the rose colored view is right.
Obama is using a traditional strategy—you don’t campaign on election day.
Romney is using a football strategy—you play till the whistle stops blowing.
You can learn a lot about the two men just by comparing those two strategies.
I noticed that last night Moochelle had that “oh crap, I’m going to have to pay for my own food and vacations now” look.
One of Romney’s spokespersons was on with Shepard Smith, and he asked her about Romney’s last minute campaign stops today in Ohio and Pennsylvania. What she said kind of struck me: She said the Romney campaign does not want to have any regrets tomorrow about not having done everything it could to win.
