I have to admit I have never seen either of these two gentlemen before, but one thing I know is the person photographed on the left is the more powerful.
Whomever is on the left in a photograph appears more powerful and better.
See how the handshake between the two places one person in the lead position? We can see more of the hand of the person on the left.
People who have been trained in body language and are in the public eye often will jockey for this position.◦

This is interesting. Does he look confident? Is he happy? Is he paying close attention? Is he comfortable?
Answers: NO, NO, YES, NO.
Holding a pen- props give comfort. Arms closed and fold in front of him- creating a barrier and giving himself comfort. The angle of his face is downward, which is not a high confidence posture.
One of the hardest things for politicians to learn, and practice, is to always remain in a high confidence pose regardless of what is going on around you. It is human nature to mimic emotion and for politicians it is twice fold because in many ways they attempt to be a chameleon and agree with what is being said; We have all seen those uncomfortable moments when a politician is being confronted by a non supporter and for several seconds he/she agrees with the non supporter until the brain catches up with what is going on.
What people remember: the first part of the speech/meeting; the last part of the speech/meeting; and any highly emotional incident- it is important for the politican to be a confident leader during these times and make the most of their body language, tone, and image.◦

Botox Warning: Is This Woman Ugly? She Will Be!
Jun 5 2009

My wife is having all of her college girl friends come in for a weekend. Going to spend some time at the spa, sunning by our pool, AND BOTOX! I just learned of this three days ago and gave her the facts.
I don't want her to do it; you might think it is because I will not be able to "read" her emotions as clearly- you'd be wrong. After the decades we've been together I really do not need to see wrinkles to read her, and probably do not care as much as I should...
The real reason I do not want her to have botox is she will be UGLY when she grows old. When we enter into our senior citizen years we judge attractiveness by the emotion that is etched on our faces and those that have lead a happy life will have strong lines extending from the outside of their eyes, and the corner of their mouths will turn upwards. In the picture above, she is getting the botox in the worst possible place.
If you must, and have deep, deep lines the forehead would be where it could improve appearance. People may not be able to tell if you are worried or stressed... It really is best to not mess with nature.◦
