White House body language

Who's good at reading body language?

This photo presents an interesting collection of people. What sort of story does it tell?

President Bush shows a definite lean to his right, toward Tina Turner.

She, in turn, is leaning away from Bush, toward Robert Redford.

Redford is tilting his head toward Tina, and his arm is linked with her (and with Rosemany Harris' on his right).

Tina's other arm is NOT linked with Bush's. But Laura Bush, on the president's left, is angling her head in the president's direction, like she's watching him out of the corner of her eye.

Why does Redford look so short?

And what's with Tina wearing a long dress? That's a disappointment.

Several of the people in this picture look dead.

You might be able to attribute Redford's shortness to the onset of old age. Gravity has taken it's toll. A while back, in the fashion of most vain people, Redford got plastic surgery done to his face which as I understand and according to several pundits didn't improve his appearance.

I might add, that Redford has said some disparaging things about 43 and was probably greatful that Tina's usually gorgeous self was planted between him and 43. Redford is probably well aware of the battle cry, "Don't Mess With Texas."

It ought to be a criminal offense for Tina to hide those lovely legs. How dare her to deprive us men of salivating over that wonderful chassis.

As a body language expert who works with law enforcement and the media I do photo body language reads. Looking at this, I find it interesting that Bush has chosen not to touch Tina or his wife. This communicates his desire to single himself out in this group of illustrious people. The lack of touch, intimate space or leaning towards anyone when placed in the front and center postion says I am seperate and above. www.Thebodylanguagelady.com
