NBC: The Big Chill: A dominant Obama meets a cool Putin at G20 (BARF!)

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.

Let’s put it another way, which one would you want protecting you?

And if Vlad can't handle it alone he can bring some of his buds from the Night Wolves.

Is daily mail the same as Ap...that is where I got those?

[maggief]

True that. That NBC edited video clip reminds me of the crap they pulled on George Zimmerman.

Looks tough, except maybe the guy with the walker

Well, I watched the clip, and didn’t see anything spectacular from either side. There is some obvious tension, but I was expecting something akin to Alec Baldwin’s cameo in Glenngarry, Glenn Ross or something.

Vlad is lucky Barry didn’t try to scratch his eyes and pull his hair out.

Put them in a room for 7 minutes and lock it from the outside. Let’s analyze the body language after that.

Putin would have HUSSEIN on his ass before the door closed.

Good grief! Holy propaganda Batman!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I could barf from the Obama dominance reference. The guy bows the Mayor of Tampa, Fl for God’s sake.

Looks like Joanie Cunningham. ;)
