Obviously, he is not looking at Jim lehrer when he makes his ’Let me finish’ comment and to suggest that he is, is ridiculous. If you watch the debate you’ll notice that the president is directing the majority of his comments to Jim Lehrer, who is positioned so the president must look down and to his left in order to talk to him. There is clear evidence of this at 43:58 into the speech when the president directly addresses Mr. Lehrer with his comment "But I think it’s worth it Jim." Notice his head position at freeze frame when addressing Mr. Lehrer. Then notice where he is looking when he makes the let me finish comment. he actually looks up from jim lehrer right before the comment and looks off into the distance, clearly arguing with the little voice in his head. Watch the tape, it’s OBVIOUS. Down...and to the left. Down...and to the left. Down...and to the left.
