WND Exclusive CHANGING OF THE GUARD Stress takes toll on Obama, develops chronic facial tic Michelle said to be distraught over spasms under right eye Posted: November 29, 2008 11:40 pm Eastern

The strain of the long campaign and a frenetic transition period is beginning to wear on the face of President-elect Barack Obama, who has developed a facial tic under his right eye.

The tic on the lower part of his right orbital bone is clearly visible in his recent interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. Campaign insiders say it first emerged during the primary season and has now become chronic.

A facial tic is a repetitive, spasmodic movement often involving the eyes and facial muscles. The cause of tics is unknown, but stress appears to increase their severity.

"The patients I've treated with tic disorders had one thing in common: They knew that the tics worsened when they were under stress," said Dr. Robert T. London, a psychiatrist with the New York University Medical Center.

Besides the economic crisis, Obama is having to worry about his own security. The Secret Service reportedly is dealing with more threats against him than any other president-elect in history.

"There are a lot of things that keep me up at night," Obama, 47, confided in the ABC interview...

I remember Obama complaining that he had campaigned for 18 months and was tired....And that was after giving up his day job.

I'll say it again...He has a scrambled brain. It's why he's so lacking when speaking off the cuff. And I'm talking about what he says...Utterly stupid things like the quip on "conception"..."Above my pay grade" (or something like that).

I’ll be honest, I am just taking the word of the WND article. I cannot and will not listen to or watch BO. ;)

Everyone has their weaknesses when exposed to extreme stress. Like it or not he will be our president come January 20, 2009. Our own security will be tied up with his making the right decisions. We can’t complain too much with the cabinet choices he has made thus far. Would we feel any better with McCain in there with his many temper tantrums and the like?

Thinking back, probably the only president in recent history who didn’t age considerably and deteriorate was Reagan. I think he enjoyed his presidency because he knew what he wanted and was comfortable in his own skin. Just be glad Obama is not Jimmy Carter II. Now if you want a truly bad president, you have one there. He was horrible and continues to be horrible.

It seems he’s got Tourettes too

Uh Uh Uh

Except he lets his middle finger do the talking

Get popcorn, we’ve never had such an empty suit in the White House. The press spin should be exhausting for those who believe this man to be brilliant

From now on, Barry will only address the public from behind a full Berka. (or a curtain like the great OZ)

“Something seems to be getting to him bigtime.”

Maybe he’s detoxing
It’s a lot tougher to get your speed fix when the Secret Service is on you like white on rice 24/7 and your candy man has to be body searched before you meet him at the gym

Obama acts a LOT like my severe ADHD kid when he goes off his meds

I agree with the ADHD idea and have said something is not quite right with his brain. One noticeable thing is that he's not really "listening" when being interviewed and that produces stupid responses like "above my pay grade".

In one case...he starts talking and the monitor says..."But I haven't asked the question yet". Obama responds "I'm anticipating"...and keeps on with a blah, blah, blah dissertaion.

I’m sure we’ll soon hear about Lincoln’s fight with depression.

If his nerves have gotten to him there is no way he quits smoking and if the SS wasn’t always around I bet he would go back on the white powder (but the booze supply will be very tempting )

Okay.

But before I exhale, I want to know who is being appointed to the rung beneath the public faces.

These are the ones who will chart the course.

Yeah, I’m not sure the drive-bys can photoshop tics.

For all the talk about him being cool. People who are cool don't handle stress very well, because they don't know what channel their emotions or just suppress problems.
It emerged in the primary. HRC gave him gray hair and now this tic, what will he do when he has to work with her every day. LOL.

No problem. Everything’s under control. No stress in Obama. It is not a facial tick. He’s just doing what his teleprompter tells him to do.

Lying increasing tics.

Sexual deviancy increases tics.

Smoking crack increases tics.

Selling crack increases tics.

Aborting babies increases tics.

Cowering before tinhorn third-world dictators increases tics.

Horror of shtupping Michelle increases tics.

Knowing you're an empty suit with no knowledge or experience increases tics.

Accepting campaign bribes from foreign countries tro get elected increases tics.

Being a Communist increases tics.

Stealing an election by stealing votes and committing voter fraud increases tics.

Selling out the left-wing morons who voted you and thought you were some kind of god, and then they realized you were just a street-hustling racist thug in the mold of all Democrats who gone before, and now they realize the at they wasted their chance at REVOLUTION, always increases tics!
