What Was Dmitry Medvedev’s First Impression of Obama?

Written By Becky

One has to admit, the picture below of Barak Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s first meeting in Moscow is very entertaining. For one, Obama is shown attempting to shake Medvedev’s hand with an obviously unclenched fist; for two, the expression on Medvedev’s face is the icing on the cake! Medvedev’s sly smirk, lack of eye contact and turned away poise pretty much reads in my mind, “I can’t believe I actually have to touch this guy… is he getting ready to bow to me?”
