A shallow observation perhaps, but I just like President Obama's voice better.

I saw a commercial for the President this morning where he is talking, and he just had this soothing mannerism in his voice that, even if I wasn't politically prinicipled, I would find preferrable.

Romney's voice has that sort of awkwardness about it, a sense of incredulity in what he's saying, almost as if he's ending his statements with a question mark.

Worst was George W. Bush. Not only did he have the whole fake cowboy thing, but he talked to people like they were 8 years old.

1. yep

2. All sorts of subconscious factors play into why one candidate is preferred over another.

Voice, mannerisms, confidence. Obama is the hands-down favorite on all of these.

3. Love the Jimmuh avatar, man :^) ... nah, with me, it's not awkwardness in Romney's voice,

it's this arrogant-yet-whiny, 'Just vote for me, you poor ignorant morons out there' kind of thing. I can't say exactly, because the second a clip of him starts on NPR, I turn it off for a minute or two.

4. Mitt's voice creeps me out.

I can't explain it, but it reminds me of a story my mom told about how a guy tried to lure her into an alley when she was a little girl, "Come here, little girl..." Ugh!

5. romney

always sounds like the creepy pedophile neighbor--when he says, "I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message." it just creeps me out-- especially with the thin lips, little boy head tilt and cheap black shoe polish hair dye

6. EXACTLY....I cannot watch this man for 4 years..OMG>. n/t

7. He sounds like Reagan to me, and that's not a good thing.

Reagan had that odd gravely voice that made him sound like an old futtie duttie that might be endearing if he was your grandfather, but not if he's your president.

8. What I like about President O is

He is a nice person who is as solid as steel and tough as as an oak tree
The man is comfortable in his skin, so pleased with who he is that he doesn't see a need nor feel a want to put on airs. He is the real fucking Deal, 'paraphrasing Joe here,'

9. Mrs VWolf agrees with you

She says our President's voice is filled with gravitas, whereas Rmoney's simply creeps her out.

10. Romney's voice...ugg. It bothers me in a way that McCain's awkward voice did not.

He sounds like a bad imitation of Buzz Lightyear.


President Obama has a great voice. Not that I would base my vote on that.

[HopeHoops]

12. I sort of like McCain's voice. He's rather soothing, but still a hot head.

[HopeHoops]

11. rMoney always looks and sounds angry. My take on it is that he IS! He's evil.
