Obama-stare puts a spell on Romney

By Imo Trumpeta / October 24, 2012

The key to President Barack Obama’s triumphant performance in Monday night’s debate was not his command of the facts, his well-crafted answers or his cutting comeback lines. It was one thing: the stone cold, laser-like stare Obama shot his opponent when Mitt Romney was answering questions. I call it “Obama-stare” — but unlike Obamacare, this Obama plan may not be good for your health.

For those, like me, who watch the other candidate closely when his opponent is answering a question, the contrast between Obama and Romney’s reactions was like comparing Darth Vader with Honey Boo Boo. Romney’s look vacillated between forced smiles to that of a person whose stomach was alarmingly churning and was worried he wouldn’t make it to the bathroom in time.
