When a person folds his/her arms about the chest firmly, a feeling of being threatened may exist, since most people may use this gesture as a defensive manouver. This gesture signifies a nervous, negative, or defensive attitude.
People also fold arms by keeping their thumbs out to indicate superiority. While a folded arms gesture with one palm outside and the other firmly placed between the other arm and the chest may indicate a confused state of mind. In addition, some people fold their arms while keeping their fists firmly clenched to indicate hostility.
The partiallly crossed arm gesture in which one arm swings across the body to hold or to touch the other arm to form a barrier is often made by a person when he/she finds himself/herself lacking in confidence. Holding both your palms just below the stomach can mean that the person either is trying to de-stress himself or is in a position where he has to take orders from someone.

Who painted those, Thomas Kinkade, or R.Crumb?
And I wanna know what they’ll do once they run out of room in the WH to hang these bad portraits of bad former ex-presidents?
To: Lucky9teen
I don’t think it looks anything like him.

I would put money down and bet Michelle's portrait will have a lot more bling bling than what is considered tasteful.

Madam First Lady, thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends (laughter) to my hanging. (Laughter.) I sure do miss a sense of humor in the White House.

Those portraits (especially of W) are U-G-L-Y.

Barry’s backhanded compliment:
“Thats certainly been true of President Bush. The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time. We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldnt know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been. And still, over those two and a half months — in the midst of that crisis — President Bush, his Cabinet, his staff, many of you who are here today, went out of your ways — George, you went out of your way — to make sure that the transition to a new administration was as seamless as possible.”

John Howard Sanden painted them. He is considered the dean of American portrait artists. I like his work, though I agree that it’s not innovative, and I too might have chosen someone else. We do have so many extraordinarily gifted portrait painters in this country, the best of them meeting in Philadelphia this week. Who would you have preferred to paint them?
P.S.: It’s very hard to judge the quality of an oil painting from a photo like this, since you can’t see the layers of transparent glazes that go into creating a realistic skin tone.
