Hillary ignores Obama and passes him by
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 11:10 PM by NJSecularist
It's amazing how differently each and every person inteprets the cause and event of a picture. I think Hillary passed up Obama, but of course this image captures Obama looking away. The image doesn't tell the full story

1. The photographer who took the picture said
Obama turned away.

3. They are sensationalizing it
If you connect the two pictures, you can see that Hillary passed him by.

2. How do you get that? He is turning away from her. Is she supposed to leap up there?

15. could there be a possibility that he is turning to find his seat or maybe
turning to speak to someone else? Keith says there is no film of this so the camera man is the only interpretor going. He could be wrong. He's not down there.

18. It looks a bit crowded...
maybe he just wanted to get out of the tight squeeze. why does everything have to be because Obama is some Reagan loving slumlord supporting antichrist.

21. Ted's not that fat.... It is clear that Obama turned away. And it has nothing to do with the
fact that he is a dirty Chicago politician involved in personal real estate transactions with a Shady mob connected businessman who is currently in jail on charges of funneling money to Middle Eastern terrorists.

4. I agree. Obama is her opponent and she goes for Teddy's hand
It probably felt strange to Obama considering Teddy just endorsed him so Obama decided to give them space. It was just an awkward moment for everyone.

I think this is a none story. It was just an awkward situation for Obama based on how she initiated things with Teddy first.

7. I would've shaken Ted's hand first, to give me and Obama room to talk.
Obama clearly snubbed her.

11. I think he is clearly feeling uncomfortable
which is not an excuse for turning away but I think that is why he did. I wouldn't make to much of it or try to see too much into it. Who knows what was going through his mind. I just know it would have been very uncomfortable for me had that happened.

12. His look *before* she comes over is very angry, and his look *after* is very angry.
He had no kind feelings for Hillary at that point. I have no doubt that if he stood there she would've shaken his hand and talked to him in length.

5. 'Kennedy shook her hand while Obama, wearing a dark suit and standing between the two, turned away.'

9. So what should he have done? Waited around until they were done with their chit-chat?
So he could budge in and shake Hillary's hand?

ffs...

13. Sorry the networks don't agree with you. He turned his back on
her. But I'm sure you know that.
