Wow, this is a terrific capture. Everyone has their hands folded, except for Obama who has his fingers interlaced. It's like playing one of those Highlights Spot the Differences games.

In my opinion hands say lots of inner habits of a person. Here it shows the person is most of the times is to himself, have strong bonds whoever he likes and loves. Will all along hold his family and friends together. On the hole he is to be believed and will remain faithful to all.

What a great photo don't you wish a lot more photographs that go along with a news story in the press had this kind of photograph attached to them. In the UK, broadsheets used to print interesting photographs like this cropped in, to give better impact but it's all a bit same old same old now. Shame!!!

Took training in presentation skills. This use of hands is called the "fig leaf" in this context. If you put your hands behind your back in a similar way, it's called the "inverted fig leaf."

Great shot.
