Obama couldn't even look Romney or the American Public in the eye. He lied about Romney's plans and parroted simple talking points that have no basis in fact. He showed how "transparent" he really is. He twitched and changed his facial expression every few seconds depending on whether or not he felt the camera was on him. Any college psychology student could diagnose this as narcissism. No plans for the future but more of the same while he asked Romney for specifics. Romney could have elaborated, but was not granted the time.
CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE DEBATES!!!!

TV will do FOR Romney what it did for JFK. Show the electorate who their candidate REALLY is based on body language and facial expression.
