Even though he enjoyed the beauty and the climate of Hawaii, it didn’t do much for President Obama’s R and R. The President’s his recent body language revealed the overwhelming tension in his face and body. It clearly shows clearly shows that being the 44th President of he US can definitely take its toll on you body language wise.
IS THAT YOU MR. PRESIDENT
On News Years Day, the drudgreport.com showed a recent photo of a man with short cropped greyish hair who looked pale and drawn. He was standing with his shoulders hunched and his vertebrae and shoulder bone protruding as he stood next to a car looking into the window. The headline read “ Obama Is That You?
Sure enough if you clook closely at the unrecognizeable man, it is President Barack Obama. Apparently he was getting into the car after going to the movies in Kaneohe, Hawaii Thursday, Dec. 31, 2009 where the Obamas vacationed in Hawaii for the holidays.
NO WONDER HE LOOKS WORN
This photo is a far cry from the vibrant looking Obama who was sworn in as President just a year ago.
It is no wonder that Obama looks worn out. With climate conferences , health care issues, economic woes how could anyone look chipper and vibrant? Now add to that a security breach where two “wanna-be party crashers got way too close for the President’s comfort topped off by a horrific Christmas gift – another security breech where an be airline bomber almost blew up a plane over American soil.
THE FACE LANGUAGE
Besides looking pale and graying, facial expression is really the key to showing signs of stress. This is especially true if the facial expression is consistently tense and as in President Obama’s case.
Lately, were rarely see Obama’s radiant toothy grin.
Instead, we see more and more of this expression with tight pursed lips, no teeth, and a lot of facial tension.
It’s understandable that Obama is feeling down in the dumps when he is aware of how much he has dropped in popularity over the past year. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Last week, it showed that only 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President.
Another poll which tracks Obama’s job approval rating , the ever popular Gallup Poll. It recently showed that The President has receded to a new low of 47% in their latest poll.
Gallup Daily tracking from Nov. 17-19 showed President Barack Obama’s job approval slipping to 49% for the first time in his Presidency.
There is no doubt that Obama is definitely feeling the pressure and stress, not only from the Herculean job he must perform each day 24/7, but from the growing numbers who disapprove of him for one reason or another.
Now matter how thick skinned you are, eventually stresses take their toll and it shows up in your up body language. You can’t hide it, even if you are the President of the United States. because the body never lies and neither does the face! http://www.drlillianglass.com
