Well, the Obama handshake does pack the body language lexicon into its fingertips. His hand on Bush’s shoulder, the way he embaced Laura’s hand with both of his speaks a chapter: he’s inclusive, not self-centered (Bush’s stiffness illustrates circmspection) and, in leaning towards his “subjects,” says “I’m people orientated.” Hell, yeah, I’d line up to shake his hand!
