Barack Obama’s face may be one reason he got elected!

We all unconsciously read and react to faces, and this impacts all aspects of our everyday lives. For instance, when it comes to politics – Even scientific research reveals that voters’ reaction to politicians’ faces significantly affects their chances. In one study, volunteers were shown images of candidate’s faces in past, low-profile races, and were able to choose the winner 67 percent of the time, solely based on the candidates’ appearance. In another study, it was found that it’s the politician with the strongest jaw who will always win the election.

So what in Barack Obama’s face might have contributed to his success? Here is what Chinese Face Reading has to say:

1 – His ears stick out. This reveals a highly independent nature, not always doing what he’s told.

2 – His eyebrows are straight lines. This means he evaluates carefully before making a decision, has a very logical and practical thought process, and can have a laser-like vision for the future. (As opposed to Michelle Obama’s eyebrows, which reveal a different decision-making style!)

3 – His hairline is straight. This indicates a rebellious streak, a bit of a rule breaker, and potential paradigm-shifter.

4 – His jaw is well-defined but a bit narrow. This reveals strong values, firm integrity, and yet he’s not too stuck in his own belief system. It means he is flexible, will listen to others and change his mind if merited.

5 – He has a mole near his nose in an important place that shows he has a powerful purpose in life, and a strong need to be authentic, which other people will sense and trust him even more.

6 – Obama’s face matches his message. If there were three words that Chinese face reading would glean from his face about his overall ‘theme’ as a person, they would be: “hope, optimism, and change.” Sound familiar?

    Hi Jean, I was so excited when Barack Obama won, I wanted to call you and say, oh my goodness, look what you saw in his face and you were right!!!! What do you make of all the media photos of him, buttons, posters, etc. Obama is like an icon, I’m sure it’s because of his face. God bless him.

    Namaste’,
    Linda

    Thank you, Linda! I do think that Barack Obama’s face is indeed an icon for us, exactly because his face gives us his own personal ’stimulus package’ – hope, optimism, and change. He gives us a new frequency to entrain to! Let’s continue to attune to that positive energy.

    My cousin had surgery so that his hears would not stick out so much; is he less independent now?

    I love your approach and I love your book! However, and being an Obama fan, I still felt back then in your fall newsletter, that your analyzis of Obama was fairly partial, or selective..? I would have enjoyed your thoughts about his face before he actually became so famous and popular.

    Thanks, yes – I was evaluating Obama’s face to see what kind of president he would make, not to state what I thought of him personally. I wasn’t reading his face to look at his private life, or whether I like him as a person or not, but rather to see if I thought he’d make a good president. This is why my comments were so positive, as his face reveals that he has many qualities that show he can be an excellent president.

    Any change to the face creates a shift to the inner energy. What i’ve found is that the person who has ears like this but then has them changed may have sort of “phantom” sticking-out ears! In other words, he may still have a tendency to be willful, but that this may be more diminished.

    Wow, interesting stuff! But for ladies, we can plug our eyebrows so one brow can take many forms… how would you determine the true meaning?

  9. blog admin says:

    Yes, even the varying shapes of eyebrows have meanings, and I cover these both in my book and in workshops. I recently had one student in a class who had shaved off her eyebrows and drawn in a fancy pattern of curlicues instead, and then discovered she couldn’t concentrate on her job. One of the many things eyebrows have to show us is how someone uses logic. So much to learn about someone from the details of their face…!
