Did anyone notice Obamas face after the debate while he was hugging Michelle? It was shocking. He was very solemn, he closed his eyes and looked almost like he was crying. It struck me that it was the kind of embrace one gives to someone at a funeral.

I thought his face and the embrace said something like "Mommy, I'm so glad you're here, make it all better."

I watched Michelle after the debate and she kept herself aloof from the crowd, I think deep down she's shy and self-conscious. It was obvious to me she wanted to burn rubber out of that place.
