On Secretary Clinton’s official schedule today:

ON FOREIGN TRAVEL WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Do any of you have expertise in reading body language? In the photo above, Clinton, Obama, and Chinese President Hu Jintao all have their hands positioned in the same way while at the Winfield House, the U.S. ambassador’s residence in London, earlier today.

What do you think the people in the photo below are thinking? Obama (not pictured) is talking with British Conservative Party leader David Cameron (also not pictured) at the Winfield House while Clinton (diligently taking notes with her pen), U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and U.S. National Security Advisor James Jones (right) listen. Obama was urging countries to “pick up the pace” in finding solutions to the economic crisis.
