Obama Didn't Mind Shaking Shrubs Hand
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 01:30 AM by kerrygoddess


And why is he standing when everyone else is sitting?



Is it the unity thing in reverse?

1. Thanks for the pic.
Looks like he didn't mind at all! Leaning over, looking directly at Bush, mouthing a pleasantry or two.

6. way to keep it petty, Betty.
I think he's standing because Bush had just mentioned his call for Congress to "get this Steroids thing fixed" before my term ends.

8. Buddy?
He also shook Obama’s hand and said hello in typical Bush fashion: “Hey buddy, how’s it going,” he said, according to Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who also sat next to Obama for the speech.

11. well
if I spent half as much timne here kicking my own threads as some people do, I suppose I would be reaching. But I'm not filled with some over-reaching urge to excoriate Obama all the time like some people here are with Hillary Clinton.

32. Point being Obama
Mr Unity turned his back on his opponent with the whole press corps watching. It was tacky. And then he reaches out to shakes Bush's hand. Tacky.

44. Did Senator Clinton offer her hand to him? I didn't see that.
If she had and he rebuffed it, you'd have a point. But I saw her reaching out to shake Kennedy's hand, not Obama's.

45. Well maybe he just didn't give her a chance.
He didn't need to turn his back. After all, Kennedy is the Sr Senator and should have gotten the first recognition. That's called protocol.

48. How do you know why he turned his back? Were you standing next to him?
Or do you have an intimate personal relationship with him, such that you're privy to his motivations for everything he does?

You don't?

Then STFU.

50. I don't blame him if he's got disdain for her. He wouldn't be alone in that, by a long shot.
But it still doesn't change the fact that you don't know what went on there.

There's no unity in either party so how the hell can you bring everyone together. Where's the logic?
