NBC: The Big Chill: A dominant Obama meets a cool Putin at G20 (BARF!)
NBC News ^ | September 5, 2013 | Tracy Connor

President Barack Obama was intent on getting the upper hand as he greeted Russia's Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit on Thursday, according to body language experts who watched the frosty exchange.

From a jacket-buttoning pause to a hard-pumping handshake, Obama displayed tell-tale signs of dominance after he alit from a limo in front of St. Petersburg's Konstantin Palace, where Putin waited to meet him, communication experts said.

There was no outright hostility, but the chill between the two world leaders — at loggerheads over NSA leaker Edward Snowden and a strike against Syria — was evident in clenched-jaw smiles and lack of eye-contact and touching, the experts said.

Obama may as well dress like he's from the 17th century.

Or he could just be FABULOUS!!!....

I saw a picture from the Putin / Obama encounter earlier in a related thread. The picture did give me the impression that Obama was giving Putin a dirty look.

But now that I’ve seen a video, I didn’t get that impression at all. In fact, given the sun was in Obama’s eyes, I’d have given Putin a “dirty look” under those circumstances.

Also, NBC’s title for the video does not compliment the video imo.

I’m convinced that the corrupt media is manipulating multimedia to “stir up dissention,” as Proverbs puts it.

You know what REALLY terrifies me? After 5+ years of NO LEADERSHIP, I’m starting to fall in love with Vlad, LOL!

It looks like he’s squinting, perhaps from the sun in his eyes. Hardly a ‘dominant’ stare or anything close to it.

How the media thinks negotiations go:

Successful Businessman (SB): My company made $1B in profits last year from $6B in sales. I hear you'd like some of our widgets?
Less Successful Businessman (LSB): Yes, we need to fulfill a contract by the end of this month. If we fail, we'll have to declare bankruptcy. Your company is the only one that makes the widgets we need.
SB: Well, I'm sure we can strike a deal. Normally, our widgets sell for $50 a piece, although of course we do offer a cheaper bulk rate. I know you're desperate, so I will offer you as many widget as you need for $50 a piece.
LSB: I can really only afford $35 a piece.
SB: Well, when you came into this room today, I noticed that you shook my hand in a strong and dominant manner. I know who's the boss. I know when I'm licked. I will sell you the widgets for $30 a piece.
LSB: It's a pleasure doing business with you.
SB: Please don't hurt me.

I’ll bet O showed up a half hour late today to try to “play dominant”.


I don’t know if Obama was late, but when watching the video of the handshake, it looked as though Obama said “Thanks for coming,” to Putin........Whaaaaaaaaaatttttt?.....(You’re in Putin’s country, nimrod...)

And, lest we forget GWB said about putin: “I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.

GWB Joint press conference, June 16,2001
