Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2610: Nancy Pelosi Body Language Tells Us She Fears for Obamacare's Demise (VIDEO, PHOTOS)



In this brief press interview, U.S. House Minority Leader, NancyPelosi displays multiple expressions of fear. In the first example below, this nonverbal occurs just as she is being asked, "How concerned are you that the Affordable Care Act might be in trouble?".

Note: Since the original writing of this post, the video has since been deleted from its internet source. 



Note the configuration of her mouth in the wide display of her bottom teeth in this image (a mild "Mouth of Fear"). In addition, her momentarily tensed "Neck of Fear" adds to this body language cluster (at 0:01).












In this second image captured a few seconds later at 0:40, Ms. Pelosi's fear face is increased with a slightly but significant greater downward vectoring of the corners of her mouth, increased neck muscle tension and her eyes are opened slightly wider.

What other specific differences are there between the nonverbal displays in these two moments?
