This image of President George W. Bush and Michelle Obama was taken this past Saturday during a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches. In this moment as they sat at one end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Mrs. Obama had a very particular group of nonverbals displayed:
- Forehead is contracted and elevated
- Eyebrows elevated
- Head is tilted forward and down
- Eyes looking upwards
What does the configuration of Michelle Obama hands indicate? Is it consistent with her facial display of incredulity?
