Disgruntled Russert doesn't even bother to shake Obama's hand after Interview!
For those of you who haven't seen the interview yet in your time zone...be sure to check out the end of the interview where Russert doesn't bother to shake Obama's hand but just shuffles his papers as he closes off.

Russert couldn't shake Obama off his message as much as he tried and Russert's face becomes more and more "resigned" as his blows fall off Obama.

BTW..MTP viewers can remember that after he interviews Republicans or "friendly Dems" he always shakes their hand. I've seen him shake Joe Biden's hand more times than I can count....but, his lack of graciousness to Obama shows exactly where he comes from...

1. I didn't notice, but that just goes to show Russert is a LOSER. We
already knew that, didn't we. Seems to me, it makes Obama look like the bigger man, but I already knew that, too.

3. Nonsense! What are you talking about??? Russert wasn't combative
with Obama at all. He has always liked Obama and has always treated him with respect. Today included. :eyes:

5. I've stopped watching Russert. But I really
would like to see someone stand up at the end and slap the hell out of Russert.

9. Timmeh's pissed that Obama made a reference to "Big Russ" ...
... and everyone knows that Timmeh reserves exclusive rights to trot out that bullshit.

12. I was thinking that was the reason, too
How nice that Obama worked that into the discussion. We've all loved people who hold beliefs that are less than admirable, right Timmy?

13. I suspect that Timmeh's "inner bigot" was ready to leap out and throttle Obama.
Timmeh's red-lined upbringing occasionally peeks out.

14. YESYES YES, I keep replaying the end on tape
he was confused, he didn't get what he wanted, Obama was up to the task. I thought I imagined, He seemed surprised and defeated.

15. What's the matter Timmy?
Some reason why you won't shake the hand of a fellow American?

20. It falls upon a show's host to close a segment out definitively not the guest.

18. He gets a really pissy, pinched-up forehead and glowering eyes,
(like snoopy on the doghouse roof, I believe, when he is the red baron) if things aren't going his (repuke) way.

19. Oh the other hand, maybe he was a little shy to
shake the hand of the next president.
