The truth, according to the popular television show "Lie to Me," is "written all over our faces," but psychologists say that visual clues are only one part of the way humans read each other's emotions.

Tecce "admits the 2000 presidential race eluded his call." Maybe because Gore won and Rove stole the election from him.

It was hilarious how sheepish all the talking heads were as they said that exit polls had never failed so badly. Maybe because the exit polls were right?

Obama should have stayed out of it. It was not his business. It was a local matter. He brought the problem upon himself. He spent more time on this, publicly, that the issues of health care for all.

The President in my opinion owed no one an apology, absolutely no one.

Good now he is NOT going to answer any more race baiting questions and I"m THRILLED to Death.

Now we can continue as the ra cist count that we are instead of giving the nonsensical illusion that we've somehow overcome race. Lets go back to our trueselves all this FAKENESS annoys me.

Non-verbal communication leaks do not always mean what we think they do. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar too.

This whole have beer night at the white house is a joke. We could have had serious discussions on the problem of police abuse and brutality across our country. This was not about race. If Gates had been white Crowley would have still showed him who was the boss by arresting him on that frivolous charge. Disorderly conduct almost never leads to a conviction. That is a blanket charge police use to punish people that don't bow down to them.

Crowley broke the law and then lied about it. Watch the proof here:

Nah, not gonna bother reading it. I've studied non-verbal behavior and that picture of GWB is clearly MISlabeled as him having "pursed lips" . That is clearly NOT the correct expression on his face.

"There's a close connection between fast blinking and discomfort, psychologically or physically."

So:
McCain: 104 blinks per minute
Obama: 62 blinks per minute
Me: 9 blinks per minute

I didn't realize I was so comfortable.

Pelosi - 0 blinks per minute (although she can't physically blink)

"Obama generally has a gaze aversion habit," he told ABCNews.com. "He looks down a lot."

In most instances, according to Tecce, gaze aversion means the person is shy, intimidated by oncoming "verbal repartee," or lying.


Hey it's in the article.

Why aren't they scrutinzing Crowley's body language, especially after he lied on the police report?

They've decided to ignore the lies he told because they don't know what to do about it.

I agree they have decided to ignore the lies he told, but I don't know if it's because they don't know what to do about it or just don't care.

What was the lie? And why would Obama invite a police officer who lies on police reports to the white house?

If you read the police report, which has been blasted all over the internet, and then listened to the 911 caller on the tape, you will know what the lie was. The media is keeping quiet about this because they want to make this entire incident about Obama, to support their right-wing notion that he was "sticking up for the Black guy."

Secondly, the invitation was made BEFORE the 911 tapes were released.

There were lies, and there was entrapment. One complete fabrication was that Lucia Whelan said she saw two "black men with backpacks" when she never mentioned race, even when repeatedly urged to speculate on the ethnicity of the men she saw. Here is a link to the police report:

As to why Obama would invite a police officer who lies on police reports to the White House, I'll leave that for you to decide.

Because stu pid folks like you can get easily bamboozled by the media and Limbaugh.

Obama was right Crowley behaved stu pidly but because the media refuse to look at the facts of the case and see that this was a FALSE arrest. Obama is forced to recalibrate his words cause senstive folks are hurt that he took the side of a AA as oppose to a white police officer.

He lied on the police report and most whites just dismiss it. Typically American.

I wondered about that, too. A police report is a legal document. And the 'public trust' that is afforded police officers requires that they be held to a higher standard -- which begs the question: Why is he getting away with having 1 ied on a POLICE REPORT???

And just imagine the damage if the victim hadn't been Professor Gates. If it were an everyday, non-influential, non-high profile Bl. ack man, the outcome could have, and likely would have, been much different.
