...a big piece of stupid cake and then slathers it with his special brand of robot-flavored frosting.

One thing that always kills me about Romney--the man is never, in the least, affected by anyone to whom he is speaking. Diesn't matter if you are disabled, gay or bleeding out of every orafice because of one if his bad ideas.

The man is simply unmoved by other human beings. He's so f'n rehearsed and robotic. There's just no room for humanity in his day!

is most likely akin to looking a chicken in the eye. Alfred Hitchcock once declared that to be the moment when he understood true terror. I'm paraphrasing from a book Truffaut wrote about Hitchcock many years ago, that I read while in college, but I've often thought about that quote over the years, and IMO, it's profound.
