Larry Summers Looks Like He’s Trying to Sneak Away

I caught this picture on the front page of the New York Times‘ website in an article about President Obama’s budget:

The first thing I noticed was Larry Summers. He’s the only one of the president’s aids who doesn’t have his hands clasped together in front of him. His facial expression says he’s disinterested. He’s leaning away from the others, as if to say he’s not with them. Seventy five percent of communication is nonverbal, and Larry Summers is saying, “get me the hell out of here!”
