Pretty tensed up most of the time there it seemed

Wonder if he was afraid being there that somebody would do the unthinkable???? So he was always rigid and looking around corners

Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping at Zhongnanhai leaders compound... before their private dinner Tuesday, so looks like they did get to talk... The other individuals are their their translators

APEC Summit 2014 China...2014

Obama's Presidential Suite in China for the Summit...I understand of all leaders his accommodations were the most expensive....

I bet he likes that big mirror.

Interesting he wasn't even ON the red carpet....but as expected Putin would be the man of the hour for this Summit..and proved so among the Chinese...will be interesting to see how different things will be at the G-20.

[caww]

Oh sure...though I don’t think his ego was in good shape at this Summit...he knew he was outplayed by Putin...which would be the case since China and Russia have struck so many deals etc. Still i think Obama believed himself to be significant among them but it doesn’t appear it played out as that....at least from photos and media reports.

[caww]

This was my favorite picture....because Obama generally is the one who pats people's back etc.....and Putin rarely does...Obama certainly ook note as he peered out the corner of his eye....both their faces and body language are very revealing.

[caww]

BTW...The G-20 In Brisbane will be altogether another picture....It has been well documented that the Australian government is unhappy with Putin attending there. President Tony Abbott was going to give Putin a piece of his mind at the APEC Summit...so many eyes were watching to see how this would play.....might be what he's doing here.....one thing about Putin International leaders have said...is when you are talking to him you have his undivided attention and he listens well to what people are saying regardless if they like him or not.....

[caww]

At least they're talking....body language says Abbott's getting a point across...
