I noticed him whistling through his teeth also. I think he does it when he tightens his mouth up while telling a lie.
I assume there will be green, yellow, and red lights visible.
Probably Lehrer won’t say anything unless the red light has been on for a while (maybe 15 seconds or so). From past memory he’ll make some weak attempts to stop the politician and then they’ll often just ignore him.
At the UN they have time limits but no one enforces them.
Netanyahu gave a 32 minute speech even though the red light starting flashing after 15 minutes.
Let me be clear....
I/We will not rest until...
I have noticed that one also.
What’s the statistical likelihood that if Romney calls Obama out on his use of the Strawman, the next few newscycles will be dominated by accusations that Romney was being racist because of how Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow in The Wiz?
Thank you.
yes and the whistle gets worse the more he lie’s
“Make no mistake, ...”
“Let me be clear” and “Make no mistake” and then he looks up and to the left. Classic liar’s tell.
And I expect to see his Mussolini impression early and often.
If that is an accurate quote, then I agree with Wiki Answers.
“I will stand with them” refers back to “Arab and Pakistani Americans,” who are American citizens and not necessarily Muslims. “I will stand with the Muslims” changes the meaning slightly, and coupling it with pictures from the middle east compounds the problem.
My father-in-law thinks 0bama will be given the questions before the debate. OR he will write the questions for the debate and provide them to the moderator.
Other tells will include it being obviojs that Lehrer never asks him a question he isn’t already expecting.
That’s the only question. My guess is Axelrod’s team has had a hand in th e questions for both candidates.
He also has the look of the intellectionally superior of “Looking Down” at the rest of us.
He tilts his chin upward so he’s looking down.
If his mouth is open and he is speaking...he’s lying!
I hate that. I really, really hate that. I call it the 'Whistling Esses'. It is more of a lisp to me. But it drives me nuts.
A little 'street knowledge' helps here. Trav, I included you because you like these.
In the 'urban setting', people who live in the urban lifestyle will say "folk" quite a bit, dropping the 'lk' in the pronunciation, as in "Dat is too a full eight-ball, fo'."
When challenged, they can deny they were calling you a fool. "Ah was callin' you FOLK, fo'."
Been there, challenged that.
Another street term, they call police "folk" too. Same pronunciation.
You’re on to him. I, too, have confirmed that everytime he says “folks”, he is winding up to tell a whopper. A sure ‘tell’.
For the first time in my adult life.....I’m actually looking forward to and making a point of watching a presidential debate.
Wish me luck (I will keep the mute finger poised over the remote if it gets to be more than I can take).
