I for one applaud his ability to be the bigger man.

3. Whatever they pipe into the air at those Obama rallies, the stuff is potent.

9. I actually agree with you.
It was the first time that Clinton and Kennedy had met since the endorsement.
And since she put out her hand to Kennedy first, he probably thought he should remove himself.

It is the kind of thing I have done.

11. I agree. But that doesnt stop the Hillarzombies' mad fantasies
or should I say, lack of any substantive reason to support their candidate.

12. That was actually my honest impression as well.
That's the natural reaction when two people start a conversation and you're the third.

I'd bet that Obama probably thought they might have something to say to one another and that he shouldn't necessarily be privy to. Ted and Hillary did have a friendship before the endorsement, after all. Why should he be lingering over them while they talk it out?

14. What he supposed to do? Sit there as the third wheel?
He made the smart move.

15. Well, it doesn't surprise me that so many around here...
...don't understand social graces when they see them. After all, they certainly don't display them around here.

The twenty threads on this topic are entirely ridiculous.
