It sort of reminds me of a five-year-old reluctantly submitting to a hug and kiss from his Great-Aunt Gertrude at Christmas because his mama told him he had to. He's standing still for it, but he doesn't have to like it.
Oh, and if that's the kind of places he's been taking Michelle, it sort of explains why she likes to go to such luxurious ones now, at our expense!
She looks very happy to have a man to hug. Obviously she thinks he is something special. It seems to me that he thinks he is something special too.
Knowing that he was raised to despise the American way of life and capitalism in general, he looks to be already absorbed in how to bring America down to the level of living he is standing in at the moment.
