I've been a student of the small stuff when it comes to "character" and "persona". This small stuff, like posture, walk, eye movement, sitting position, facial muscular tension etc.... can really TELL a lot about a man.

Obama has an amazing TELL which he shows or doesn't show when he meets others. Interesting and this "TELL" both shows that he is "anxious" about that person (probably dislikes them) but allows him to be comfortable in this uncomfortable situation.

Can you guess what it is he does with his body? What's his tell?

PS. it isn't his smile or wave.

LoL! Didn't notice that one...

Simply put (and tell me if you think I'm right or not). Obama has the habit with those he is unsure of - of patting them on the back after greeting. Those he is on a strong footing with, he doesn't do this.....

PS. Yes, Canuckistan, too long on the tables but also with many friends. The problem with poker these days is that nobody plays anybody long enough to know about any TELLS other than the obvious... But for me, poker is like chess - a human challenge.
