Obama has been the best public speaker I have ever heard (not read about), and his powerful speeches just do not match his actual behavior.
In latin culture, it is considered DISRESPECTFUL to point your finger at a mans face, especially when he is the President of the United States!

One doesn't become the leader of the most powerful country in history without being an alpha. He ran when everyone said he was to young, and he beat a candidate the establishment was supporting. The fact is a President of the United States can't go around calling out women like any regular guy would, the same way he can't go around calling out dozens of interests groups.
Only in Hollywood Movies do those kinds of guys get elected, while in the real world they couldn't get elected to the school board.

Obama is in need of game, easily the most beta commander in chief of all time. Last beta was Carter, he was nixed in one term.

I'm not American and have 0 interest in local politics or politics in general, so can any of you give a quick summary of what this pic is about, when was it taken and under which circumstances and what's the story behind it? Thanks in advance.

The President was visiting Arizona, but the Arizona governor the female had written a book earlier saying Obama had been "condescending" to her. The issue itself is about immigration. So they got into an argument, and now the entire newscycle is being devoted to a pointless argument between people from different parties.

The Eisenhower with the Pope picture...it looks like the Pope is bowing to him...mutual is much more acceptable in my view. Contrast that with the way Obama grovels before the Emperor of Japan.
Eisenhower with deGaulle..hard to tell if that's a formal bow or just body positioning caught at the moment.
Both of Nixon's photos are clearly that -- body posiitoning at the moment -- in the Mao picture and in the bottom one. In the bottom one, he is equally hunched over, as though he is getting closer to hear or say something. And note the smile on Nixon's face -- it's shows warmth, not obedience.
Contrast that with the deeply servile examples of Obama's body language.

I don't get it, Obama bowed to the Japanese dude, that's a custom and a sign of respect in their culture, how is that any less beta or unjustified than Bush holding hands with the Saudi sheikh.
Sounds like tenderman just doesn't like Obama, maybe you'd prefer if Brock Lesnar ran for president, or is he not alpha enough since he lost his last two UFC fights and retired from fighting?

So now we are determining "alpha" by photo analysis. C,mon guys!
That exercise alone is beta!
Sitting around the computer looking at pictures of guys and judging them!
Unless you've seen a man in a life or death situation, its hard to tell if he is alpha or not.
If I met the King, President, or Emperor of any country or kingdom I would show him respect, but that doesn't mean I am not planning his assasination.

The only way I can see being a "100% true corn-fed alpha all the time 24/7 365 days of the year" is being the dictator of an entire country/world. If someone pointed a finger, you could just have them erased.
Obama is taking care of his business just like everyone else.

Tenderman: your Obama hamster needs a break. Charge up for a future income inequality or Occupy thread.

Why are you guys like, "YOU DON'T THINK OBAMA IS ALPHA!? THEN YOU MUST THINK BUSH IS!! HOW ABOUT NIXON!?"
Why are we bringing up a bunch of shitty presidents? How about someone talk about Reagan, or Washington - Hell, Andrew fucking Jackson was alpha as shit. Teddy Roosevelt, he was an alpha.
Nixon, Obama, and Bush are all pansies.
How about we quit picking teams? That's what they want us to do. Be polarized and immediately pick a team. Fuck the teams. They all suck. Lets just all move to the least inhabited state and declare it our own country - fuck it.
I don't care what we do, but lets stop arguing about how one shitty president was better than they other. It doesn't matter at the end of the day if bush was more alpha than obama is more alpha than nixon, because at the end of the day they were all shitty presidents.
I leave you with an analogy: Just because one midget is taller than another midget, does not mean he's tall. He's still a fucking midget.

Hand-holding in the middle east is normal, even in non-Islamic countries like Georgia. In Egypt, you will find men sitting in each other's laps. Bowing does not make you a beta -- UNLESS you are bowing deeper. The relative depth of the bow indicates who is subordinate in the relationship. Bows of equal depths indicate equality. Clearly, Obama is a beta tool. I have hugged and kissed my male friends in the middle east. Does this make me gay? No. George Bush was just being culturally accomodating.
Seriously, I'm going to be writing some posts on masculinity in different cultures. The geography of masculinity, if you will.
