During the media portion of Obama and Netanyahu's get together, I couldn't help but notice Obama's body language.
As PM Netanyahu spoke about Israel's right to protect itself, Obama's body language began to change.
As time when on, Obama became tenser and tenser. In this screen grab, he appears to be ready to bolt from the room. In his mind, the meeting was over.

Agreed. Not only does Obama appear tense, he has none of the "tells" which would represent a "meeting of the minds". He is not "mirroring" Netanyahu, his legs are crossed "closing himself off" and he is taking up as much space as possible from his chair...a posture of "dominance". Obama is "speaking" in this picture and it is not positive for Israel.
By the way Christine...I very much enjoy your posts.
Apparently Obama doesn't understand body language. He has been "busted" so many times. You would think his people would give him pointers on how to avoid this.
Thank you Anonymous.
