The politics of body language

Over at National Review David Satter comments on early observations of Obama's Russia trip; including this:
President Obama’s visit to Moscow has begun and a few observations are in order.

Russian audiences don’t care much about the details of nuclear-arms reductions but they are watching the body language of Obama and Medvedev to see who is the demandeur and who is the boss. So far, it’s not looking too good for the U.S. Obama slaps Medvedev on the back and looks at Medvedev while Medvedev looks away.

I don't think it's just the Russians. In truth, it was also my first reaction when I saw this picture:



Obama continues to grow as the anti-Reagan. And that is not a good thing.
