Excellent example of body language

At the Group of 20 meeting in London, Rudd, Obama, US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were having a lovely chat. Hands were shaken, our Kev threw a matey arm around da Silva's shoulders and everything went swimmingly until Obama gushed that da Silva was "the most popular politician on earth". At this point, Kevin Rudd pulled a face like an old schoolmaster whose students have misconjugated a Latin verb, and corrected Obama: "The most popular LONG TERM politician on earth." Poor Kevin.

@gustavoturm Lie to me is a fiction whereas this video shows real life. Got the difference??

Obama is totally the awkward one who keeps trying to get acknowledgement from the group but nobody is paying attention.

don't look at Obama..

look at the other old man that shakes the hands.. look how he shakes his hands (with 2 hands)

then he unbuttons his jacket (confident, openness etc)

then he cleans his glasses..

perfect

Lula resists Obama's attempt at dominating..the guy next to Obama declares forfeit really quickly.
