Seize the initiative and completely control the attack. Aikido uke. This is what POTUS always does.

See Morihei Ueshiba in action: http://aikidojournal.com/morihei-uesh…
Smother uke, snuff out the attack… like O-Sensei does!
One of the characteristics of Morihei Ueshiba's technique is his unique ability to seize the initiative from the start of the encounter. In other words, it is Morihei's action as nage that triggers uke to react. The result is that uke's response is weak and cannot really be considered an attack at all.

I believe POTUS has studied this.
