Interesting watching The Won's body language during the Doctor's speech. The typical Obama upward tilt of the chin, then stroking of the chin, the lowered head, the rubbing of his eyes, the finger alongside the nose and cheek, all are telltale body language messages that help to relay what the person listening is thinking, either consciously or unconsciously. From the site http://1to101.com/Body_Language>, we can learn:

•A tilted head symbolizes interest in someone or something.

•A lowered head is a negative signal that communicates acceptance of defeat.

•Touching or tugging an ear indicates indecision; though it’s also sometimes done when a person is being untruthful.

•Someone may touch or slightly rub their nose if they are doubtful about what is being said or if they are rejecting an idea.

•People place their hand on their cheek when they’re thinking or evaluating.

•A person stroking their chin is evaluating or making a decision.

•Projecting the chin towards another person demonstrates defiance or aggression.

•Failing to look someone in the eyes displays a lack of confidence.

•Lowering the eyes is a sign of submission, fear or guilt.

•Staring is interpreted as aggression and implies a person feels dominant and powerful.

•People who feel insulted, caught-out or threatened, will likely break eye contact.

•A person who consistently looks around them is bored with a situation / conversation.

•Fiddling with items (e.g. keys or a pen) can be a sign of nerves or anxiety; alternatively it may be done as a result of boredom or impatience.

There are other things he commonly does such as forced smiles and his habitual touching of his face, while listening to someone that indicates a self-consciousness that I think he STILL suffers from and tries to cover up. He did not one time applaud the speech, even at the end, which says a lot. His narcissism is innate and will eventually be his undoing. I'm no psychologist, but he is pretty easy to "read" coupled with his own words and ideals.

Basically, obama looked TICKED.

I especially liked the comparison Ben Carson made of the debt load to time; if you counted one number for every second, how many years it would take to reach 16 trillion.

From your lips to God's ear, dear boatbums!

Pride ever goeth before the fall.
