I will use the books to answer this one. I will use these abbreviations "The definitive book of Bodly Language" by Allan and Barbara Pease I will abbreviate BL for Body Language. "Bodytalk The Meaning of Human Gestures" by Desmond Morris I will abbreviate BT for BodyTalk.
Mitt Romney's face shows classic signs of fear, eyebrows raised (i would guess this man is afraid to not be in control at all times - classic sociopathic behavior.... and his authoritative hand lowering had been addressed above. This particulary variation is addressed on 188 of BT:
Palm Lower
Meaning: Less, please.
Action: The palm, facing down, is lowered several times rhythmically through the air. Or both palms may be lowered together in this way.
Background: This common gesture mimes the action of gently pressing something down and is used to request less of something. According to context, this can mean: violent action reduced to calm; loud noises reduced to silence; or high speed reduced to low speed.
Newt is displaying and aggressive dominance behavior often shown right before an attack, men sometimes display this before attacking both physically or sexually (either with words or actions). BL p 234-5:
"3. Head down
When the chin is down, it signals that a negative, judgmental, or aggressive attitude exists. Critical evaluation clusters are normally made with the head down and until the person's head lifts or tilts, you can have a problem."
Ron paul is showing inviting behavior, the hand in that gesture is inviting you into him and what he is saying. Also his open arms are showing honesty. BL p33
How to Detect Openness
When people want to be open or honest, they will often hold one or both palms out to the other person and say something like, "I didn't do it!" or "I'm sorry if I upset you" or "I'l telling you the truth." When someone begins to open up or be truthful, they will likely expose all or part of their palms to the other person. Like most body language signals, this is a completely unconscious gesture, one that gives you an "intuitive" feeling or hunch that the other person is telling the truth.
Rick Santorum.
His jaw is clenched in anger, and his fingers are literallly reaching out grabbing and shaking someone in frustration or anger.
Obama is literally forming a gun with his fingers, again head down... and Trump is poking you in the chest ... all that has been explained
Only Paul displays honesty and openness in any of these pictures or those in my OP.. All others are about dominance, anger and control.
