Presidential Debate

During the Presidential debate, body language plays a key factor for how the candidates are perceived. One thing I noticed during the debate was that President Obama has very good eye contact. He also seems confident while he is talking because he does not fidget while he speaks. While Romney is talking, he seems to move around a lot and looks back at Obama a lot while he is talking. While Obama is listening to Romney’s answers, he shakes his head a lot. Both candidates make a lot of the same hand gestures while they are talking. They also both walked closer to the people asking the questions to signify interest in the question. While Obama was listening to Romney answer some of the questions, he leaned forward and looked like he was listening intently to his answer. Romney blinks and licks his lips a lot while he is listening to Obama, which makes him seem nervous.
