Whoa! If this picture, taken right after the debate last week, doesn’t speak several thousand words…
 

 
When they’re not “on” for the cameras you sure get a much better picture of the character of these two men (and the First Lady!).
I heard somewhere that right after the debate, before he left the stage, Romney quietly walked over and collected his own papers, etc. (not sure if this is that particular moment or not). Obama just naturally left that menial task to his underlings.
 
This photo also captures a sentiment that’s consistent with what Glenn Thrush said in his e-book, Obama’s Last Stand, about Obama’s real feelings for Mitt Romney via Mike Allen:

“One factor made the 2012 grind bearable and at times even fun for Obama: he began campaign preparations feeling neutral about Romney, but like the former governor’s GOP opponents in 2008 and 2012, he quickly developed a genuine disdain for the main. That scorn stoked Obama’s competitive fire, got his head in the game, which came as a relief to some Obama aides who had seen his interest flag when he didn’t feel motivated to crush the opposition. Obama, a person close to him told me, didn’t even feel this strongly about conservative, combative House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Hill Republican he disliked the most. At least Cantor stood for something, he’d say.”
 
“When he talked about Romney, aides picked up a level of anger he never had for Clinton or McCain, even after Sarah Palin was picked as his running mate. ‘There was a baseline of respect for John McCain. The president always thought he was an honorable man and a war hero,’ said a longtime Obama adviser. ‘That doesn’t hold true for Romney. He was no goddamned war hero.’”

Gee Barack, you’re a real class act.
