Someone commented how disturbing he found a newsmagazine cover photo of Obama - seeming to confer upon him a divine aura. "The One" or "the Messiah." I think it was this cover, from Newsweek:

Game theorists will talk about how one should hold one's chin up to convey a sense of confidence/superiority [arrogance] and give the illusion of greater height in order to attract women. This may work on unsophisticated women, but does it work on men? I think men who see someone facing them like this would be offended, even if that man had proven himself to be superior in some way. Wasn't Mussolini known for posing in such a manner? I don't consider such a pose to be statesman-like or even regal, looking at it from the side or from the front.
