The body language of the candidates is highly analysed, selected and rehearsed. The body language of Obama is extreme and becoming more extreme. Very annoying to me. In the debate he was leaning forward and so jutting out his jaw I'm surprised he didnt' fall over forward.
It is the famous jutting jaw body language Mussolini used. It is extreme dominance over everyone in a very arrogant statement of power over others.
Have any of you noticed that or any other annoying artificial body language for the cameras?
Obama uses his deep voice and jutting jaw to project authority | World news | The Guardian
"Similar messages about power are conveyed by Obama's body language, especially by what he does with his chin. If you watch him closely you'll spot his characteristic jaw-jut.
This makes him look visionary, like a man with his eyes fixed on the distant horizon, but its real purpose is to make him appear tough and determined, someone who can take it on the chin. It's no coincidence that the jaw-jut appeals to politicians such as Obama, because men with larger chins have higher levels of testosterone, and they're judged by others to have greater leadership potential."
Just a min ago someone was complaining that Obama was bowing to some muslim guy.
If your refering to the 2nd debate, then it's called listening. Obama was trying to hear what Romney was saying.
