The other night FOX ran a montage of snippets from commencement speeches. Of course Obama was in there along with other supposed luminaries. I watched carefully to see if any of the others engaged in Obama’s defining nonverbal gesture—the repeated upward movement of his chin as he speaks, conveying an air of superiority over those listening.
Not one of the others did this. In fact I’m hardpressed to think of anyone who is so smug as to do this as part of his normal delivery.
He’s constantly looking down his nose at whom ever he’s speaking to.
