Did Angela Merkel 'ma'amsplain' to a 'manspreading' Obama?

There's a photo going around social media of German Chancellor Angela Merkel talking to President Obama. Merkel, arms outstretched, appears to be angry, or at the very least annoyed, about something. Obama, meanwhile, is sitting on a bench, his arms stretched out to his sides along the back of the seat. From what can be seen in the picture, it appears he is "manspreading" — the seating stance of men where they spread their legs.
Here's the photo:
This photo looks suspiciously like another recent photo that got a lot of attention among the outrage brigade — that of a statue of a man and woman talking. In that photo, the woman is sitting calmly on the bench as the man speaks to her while standing with one foot on the bench.

I doubt we'll see the same kind of anger this time around.
