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.

That picture looks shopped. Is Obama’s head really that big compared to Putin’s?

So happens I read lips. Putin said post handshake, “go on, dude, take your skinny butt on inside...Go On! GET! I’ll school you later.”

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

I’m thinking 90 seconds,,and Putin wouldn’t even have to break a sweat.

This reminds me of one of the Bush/Gore debates from back in 2000. At one point, Gore was getting all up in Dubya's face, standing real close and puffing himself up. And Bush just looked him up and down in the most dismissive way. In one instant, all of Gore's empty posturing was laid bare for all to see.

What about Dingell/Norwood?

Tracy Connor isn’t too brilliant...she has a twitter account (seems to be VERY interested in the shooting deaths of children, from the quick perusal I made)....and she, um, POSTED HER PHONE NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES to SEVERAL people...I would assume that is her work number, but still....not too smart.....

I still remember that moment. Al Gore was trying to be an Alpha, ended up looking like a fruit.

It doesn’t help when you are trying to bludgeon somebody with the words “Dingell/Norwood”...

It is amazing that the American Media has to make an event out of the fact that President Obama managed to exit a vehicle and walk twenty feet without stepping on his crank. Have our standards really sunk so low?
