3. Not sure why people think that him talking to Claire means he *Didn't* Snub Hillary

in order for it to be a snub did he have to just turn around and stand there or what?

6. Hillary never extended her hand to Obama though, and Obama and Hillary were pretty far away

Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 06:31 PM by Levgreee

reworded... it doesn't look like a snub to me... but, either way, let people decide from all the photos.

9. Common courtesy states that you start with the most elder statesman (Kennedy) and work

down... Obama was next, and thus the snub. Thanks for playing.

23. He was ignoring her how could she try to shake his hand while

Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 06:55 PM by bellasgrams

he was so intent on looking at the floor to keep from acknowledging her. It's his MO. He starts crap then blames her.

27. she didn't try to shake anyone's hand

4. Whew! I was afraid there wouldn't be a new thread on this over the dinner hour.

I'm not seeing any new information from the other "snub" threads with the same pictures.

Whose outfit did you like better -- Hillary's or Pickles's? (I really couldn't tell them apart)

17. It's been on MSNBC today

And Faye Wattleton, a woman's rights advocate, was pushing the arrogance of the male snub, or some such ridiculousness. And Hillary is saying she tried to shake Obama's hand, and with the entirety of the pictures it is so clear she didn't. But I agree this is a stupid thing to be made an issue.

38. "always the same" - your ego is the same size as Obama's

I don't believe I have ever responded to your drivel before so it can't "always be the same".

As for the issue you want attacked - what it is? Faye = shill. Do your own damn research - she is anything but a shill and you and your silly posts are not worthy of attention.

43. Today she was, do your damn research

and don't read my posts if they aren't worthy of attention. That seems pretty simple.

14. Is anyone else tired of the childish antics of our "top two"?

I've had it. I'm officially endorsing Gravel. He has the momentum and the gravitas to win this thing.

We need an adult in charge.

You may not like hearing it, but after I've seen the spats this week, I'm done with our corporate choices.

16. This was a media manufactured incident

don't place the blame on Hillary, or Obama. Although Hillary decided to play it up... not denying or confirming it.

HILLARY has pushed all the antics in this campaign and I wish some of you people would stop playing the same fucking games the right plays by throwing everybody into the same pot.

19. "Hillary is soooo mad at Barack. I doubt she'll go to the dance with him now...."

"Can you believe he didn't even say hi? What an A! I swear, if he says anything to me, I'll ignore him. Well, not really cuz he's so cute."

21. On live TV it loooked like a snub- why is it important?

Well, could be a mildly important indicator of character. We've been fooled before by affable guys with a message to "unite" the nation.

Everyone watching the SOTU was waiting to see what would happen after the two contenders entered the ring to watch the pathetic, old, former title holder give his lame, laundry list of a speech.

24. Claire McCaskill is STILL clapping so I seriously doubt ...

Claire McCaskill is STILL clapping so I seriously doubt she was reaching out her hand to Obama and he "had" to take it -- unless, of course Claire McCaskill has two right hands.

Obama was desperately trying to avoid having to shake Hillary's hand. He was just using Claire McCaskill as his excuse.

How childish.

28. Nobody said that at all

You're the only one who has said that. She said she was talking to him, I read that she had tapped his shoulder. Can people not talk and clap at once???

34. Claire and Obama were talking...and both were clapping.

Ever been able to clap and still talk.

He's clapping, she clapping.....

What is childish is trying to make something out of nothing for political aims. Can't use real issues......so find bullshit instead.

31. I wouldn't shake that witch's hand either

She voted to invade Iraq and kill tens of thousands of people for political gain and I can't understand how anyone can stand the sight of her after that.

35. And she's not even looking at him. It's a totally manufactured issue and it amazes me...

...that anyone would swallow the media's snub scenario based on this snapshot. It reminds me of the so-called Dean scream and how so many people were willing to buy into that trumped up, over-hyped garbage only because it justified not supporting Howard Dean.

36. This has what to do with ending poverty in this country?

Or helping our homeless veterans? Or restoring power to the people instead of corporations?

This is why so many of us supported John Edwards. It is nothing short of tragic that he had to drop out.
