Regarding Obama’s Body Language

For the Left: No he does not look cool

President Obama look conveys this: Contempt. Derision. Closed Off. Egotistical. Arrogant.

He’s looking at his own Vice President…not some enemy. Or does he now view the Vice President as his enemy?

As for the “optics”, I agree with Glenn. The White House simply does not seem to have the ability to see themselves as others see them. Some people might get excited by seeing the image of the President looking down his nose at, well, anyone. Most people don’t find snobbishness appealing in anyone, even someone “entitled” to be a snob.

    No, this definitely is not any “cool” look. It’s arrogant and very telling – Barry looks down his nose at everyone. This man plain scares me.

    This picture captures the contempt and disdain he feels for the American people perfectly. He’s not cool. He’s cold, calculating and deceitful. Most Americans see right through him. When will the rest of America take the blinders off and see him for what he is and what he’s about? Tick tock…

    While I believe that one can see that in it, it also, as an alternative, could just be a tired and exhausted Obama listening to one last thing at the end of the day before quitting for the evening.

    I’m no apologist for the SOB, I think he’s a two-faced lying charlatan and demagogue. But you should beware of being too quick to demonize, lest you become no different from the same idiocy that led to BDS.

    When there are two possible options for interpreting a scene, one needs to presume the more benign unless additional evidence comes to the fore.

    And it’s not like one needs to actually hunt up (and, in the case of this, “interpret to the worst”) bad things to say about the man. “Inept” is the best one can say about his foreign and domestic policy.

    Looking at the full body shot of this pic and having been a bartender, now don’t laugh, for 7 years you pick up the most unusual body language, because you have to read the body because sometimes the lips don’t move and the speech is impared, if ya know what I mean. Obama is not lit, he is pissed! Arms folded,lips pursed,eyes at a downward cast and even Biden is looking down, he is getting chewed with just a look! Obama is stiff even when his foot is propped up against the wall, another sign of control. No I do believe Biden just told the man something he didn’t want to hear! Body language of a Narcissist I believe that’s what peeps call him. ;)
