When President George W. Bush and President-elect Barack Obama met in front of the White House, they didn’t take questions from reporters. But as far as body-language experts were concerned, the two men said volumes.
"Physically, [Obama] was definitely in charge there," says Allan Pease, author of "The Definitive Book of Body Language." Obama grabbed Bush’s upper arm during their handshake, which is a "control gesture."
Pease says Obama was also in charge when it came time to go into the White House, leading Bush in with a pat on the back, basically saying "welcome to my home."
Body language is so interesting...
