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.

By what demented and delusional measure could that limp-wristed, pencil-necked pansy ever be considered dominant? Absolutely pathetic.

Petulant little punk mf’r. strutting and preening, like his homies in the baggie pants on the basketball court.

Pure show, no class, no integrity

Obungler couldn’t “dominate” Tiny Tim, let alone a hardcore KGB operative like Vlad the Impaler.

Obama can practice his “dominant look” all he wants, but anyone with half a brain cell knows Putin could flatten him in an instant.

There’s NBC, as always, and then there’s the truth.

He does play those dominance games like grabbing another’s elbow when shaking hands, and so on, without ever having actual dominance. Too complicated for MSM to read.

“Obama displayed tell-tale signs of dominance after he alit from a limo...”

NBC never misses a chance to make themselves look like fools.

That’s because Obama has this tendency to bow... he was probably in the midst of stopping himself.

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

I don’t watch NBC. When I want factual reporting, I go to the foreign press, not Amerikan Pravda. I doubt they will spin this story the same way.

Vlad was probably relieved by the queer not touching him all over this time around. :)
