Very well done!
Does she call him Papi?
“Merkel and Putin seem to have a good relationship on equal footing. She doesn’t seem intimidated by him and doesn’t exhibit submissive body language in his presence. Putin doesn’t dominate Merkel in the same way he does Medvedev and Obama – as I’ll show later. Of course, Putin exhibits the stoicism of a corpse – something he likely learned in the KGB – so it can be difficult to glean his dominance from pictures. “
An ex-KGB Putin, a person who would probably cut my throat and not think twice, a man who was our enemy for how ever long the cold war was on... and I respect him more than my own leader.
I recall a show on this type of stuff when President Bush was in office. I seem to recall that President Bush was fairly “beta” early on but then quickly showed the “alpha” traits. Same type of thing with lots of clips on him “outmanuevering” Putin, etc. Not sure how much of it was training (they do!) and how much of it was him gaining confidence, especially after 9/11.
Obama will be reduced to crawling on all floors with his snout pushed to the floor.
So basically the president is a master beta?
Ping!
Simply priceless!
I haven’t laughed so hard in quite a while!
And how true!
Great post.
Thank you.
