(I watched the video but didn't read the article)

Body language experts are just discussing what today's body language means and generational changes.

Of course the Obamas' "pound" and the POTUS's "chest bump" (which was funny to see) are nothing new but are now being done in public by people in positions of power.

The body language expert is smart because she knows that you can't scientifically assume what gestures mean and you have to place them in their proper context. Bush was giving an Air Force cadet a chest bump (that he requested) and Michelle and Barack have a personal "pound" that means something to them. They aren't the only couple who do that or have other gestures that symbolize their love and respect. :)

Funny but cute because that cadet requested it.

Bush is generally cool as a fan, even if his presidency has sucked. :) Among other pitfalls.

My point exactly. :)

His presidency isn't completely his fault, though, and the next President may not be better. :)

The story seems to indicate that the FOX Broadcaster said it out of any kind of context and without any kind of follow-up.

As for "The Fist", anyone who has seen or heard of H. Mandell knows he has done it for years.

yeah the context was really random. However it IS Fox News. Theyre good for making off-the-cuff remarks without any context or common sense.

Why'd it have to be a violent reference though? Ooh lets watch the darkies' every move, they MUST be up to something. :rolleyes:
