Everyone goes through different emotions and different experiences so we cannot really judge anyone just by the looks of it. Probably there is a better reason why Obama looks the way he looks in this picture.

Obama looks really pissed like his teleprompter refuses to work.

Want to call me a racist? Fine, then I will wear it proudly. Just be careful what you say to my face. I am so sick of all of this. Want to call me a racist? Fine, then I will wear it proudly.

Clearly that’s the persona the White House flacks were hoping to evoke." Then they failed utterly: Connery looks self-confident, standing straight and tall, poised, and alertly looking the viewer straight in the eye. In contrast, Obama leans back with both arms crossed, eyes slitted and chin tilted up, looking down with a gaze reminiscent of Mussolini. The former tells the world that he is a man of competence and character on whom we can rely in a pinch. The latter is telling the world that he is a thug to whom we must submit. “It’s not hard to see the Connery Bond in Obama’s tuxedoed posture with crossed arms and crossed legs.

(you know they are all young actors between auditions, do you?) Naturally, that image would appeal to White House PR people: it presents the ideal they and their base aspire to. A perfect limousine liberal (or caviar socialist, as I'm told they are called in France). Stylish, obviously wealthy, confident and successful but considering of the "unfortunate ones", a benevolent aristocratic do-gooder. Add to these qualities sex appeal and race appeal - the combo is irresistible. And it was irresistible- to all those voters who propelled that Mr. Nobody into the highest office chair in the country...
