I love this so much, and not just for crazyass Josh. Ann is looking at Obama like he’s something stuck to the dog’s behind. How do you be a candidate’s wife for 20 years and still be completely unable to hide your emotions? Guess there are some basic human skills money can’t buy.

Ann Romney looked VERY unhappy with her Mitt right after the debate – dreams disappearing at the hands of this guy who couldn’t have even been ordained in her awesome church just a few short decades ago.
Didn’t look to me like the families did that handshaking and greeting thing after the debate – bad blood!

@Rosalita: Romulans and Vulcans are related. A Vulcan would be completely unemotional and young Josh certainly is anything but that.

MS. CROWLEY: Governor, if you want to reply just quickly to this, please.
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, I — I certainly do. I certainly do. I — I think it’s interesting the president just said something which is that on the day after the attack, he went in the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror. You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed.
MR. ROMNEY: Is that what you’re saying?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed, Governor.
MR. ROMNEY: I — I — I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Get the transcript.
MS. CROWLEY: It — he did in fact, sir.
So let me — let me call it an act of terrorism — (inaudible) —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy? (Laughter, applause.)

She doesn’t seem to have created a personal style for herself. She seems to dress on the principle of “I like the color and design”. Maybe she goes to too many different stores and just buys what she sees and like.
Yes, the shawl (or whatever it is) does look like a remnant. Or as my mother might have called it — Eastern European Bedspread.

@Steve Crickmore: I don’t really care what Ann Romney wears, but everyone is judged by their appearance to a certain extent. Part of it is just biological–“are you one of us”– and unfortunately it’s just part of being human.

Sorry to spoil on the fun and satire. I suppose I do seem like a kill joy. More seriously ..(well some people really do take these type of photos seriously), there are several photos such as this, of Hillary Clinton, Queen Elizabeth, etc. which dwell on ridiculous lizard conspiracy theories. All are the consequence of the red eye or iris effect of the camera, which, in this photo, is even more pronounced with the bearded gentleman sitting the front row.

Josh totally got that look from the Donald, who tried to use it against Obama at the White House Correspondent’s dinner last year. You know, when Obama was lauding Trump for firing Gary Busey instead of Meat Loaf, and how those were the types of decisions that would keep him up at night (as opposed to the decision to take out Bin Laden, which he’d basically just made). The Donald was giving him the same stone-faced-scowl-with-evil-eye look the whole time. And to similar effect.
