New York, Aug. 28 : A former FBI agent and body language expert has opined that Hillary Clinton may have publicly showed her support for Barack Obama at the recently concluded Democratic convention in Denver, but her body language suggested otherwise.

According to Joe Navarro, there was a mismatch between her verbal support and what she was conveying through her body movements.

CBS quoted him as saying that Clinton''s non-verbals were revealing.

"What we wanted to see was a Churchillian speech, something that would move her candidate to cross that magic fence. And she delivered a speech, but the gestures -- the non-verbals that give us the emotion -- really weren''t there," he said.

Denver, Colorado - Veteran Senator Joe Biden on Wednesday formally accepted the Democratic Party's offer to be vice president to Barack Obama, who made a surprise appearance at the party's convention a day before he plans to give his own acceptance speech.

"I want everybody to now understand why I am so proud to have Joe Biden ... and the whole Biden family with me on this journey to take America back," Obama said in brief remarks on stage at the Denver, Colorado convention.

Denver, Colorado - Former president Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that if Barack Obama were elected president, he could improve the US image overseas "in 10 minutes" with a strong inaugural speech, according to a broadcast interview with Voice of America.

Carter is in the Rocky Mountain state attending the Democratic presidential convention. He put in a cameo appearance along with wife Rosyln before delegates at the Pepsi Center Monday evening, but did not speak.

Denver, Colorado - Former president Bill Clinton Wednesday threw his support fully behind Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, saying the country needed his strong leadership to rebuild the American economic dream and "restore America's leadership in the world."

Clinton's speech came just hours after Democratic delegates formally nominated Obama on the third night of the presidential convention - a prize that narrowly eluded his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, during the primary election battle.

Denver, Colorado - John Kerry, the Democrats' failed presidential candidate of 2004, made the case Wednesday that Barack Obama was ready to take over the party mantle and slammed the Republicans for claiming to have a lock on patriotism.

Kerry hammered presumptive Republican nominee John McCain for using the "same old politics of fear and smear" during the general election campaign, pointing to comments that questioned whether Obama puts the country ahead of personal politics.

Denver/Los Angeles - "With friends like Madonna who needs enemies?"

That thought must have raced through the minds of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign managers, after the pop diva kicked off her latest world tour over the weekend with a video montage of the world's problems - which showed images of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
