Politicususa: Sociopathic Mitt Romney Smiles During and After Presser on Embassy Tragedies



Sociopathic Mitt Romney Smiles During and After Presser on Embassy Tragedies

What in the Hell is Mitt Romney smiling about?

So this happened:



Associated Press photojournalist Charles Dharapak tweeted a picture of a smiling Romney leaving the podium after his ill-advised politicizing of yet another tragedy.

Which brings to mind what I observed when I watched Mitt Romney’s press conference today:

Smiling while discussing the tragedy.
Smirking while lying about Obama’s response to the tragedy.
Lip smacking after declaring emotions.
Curled lip of contempt when blaming Obama for the embassy’s statement.
Smiling gleefully while answering questions.

To which we can now add:

Smiling while leaving the podium.

p.s. Glad to see the political bloggers are reporting on this now.

He's spiking the ball in the end zone. Only it's the wrong end zone.

4. I'm unnerved by that smirk most every time Romney puts a statement

"out there" for the media to replay again and again.

It's as if he's playing some game and, after thinking over his options, he's decided on his next move and executes it with false bravado. It doesn't surprise me when he reverses his stated position days or weeks later, because that stance did not come from sincere belief, but rather from cold--and often faulty--calculation.
