Maybe Hillary requires preconditions for her handshakes

he is obviously more at ease in social situations than Clinton is.

the two times Hillary snubbed Obama in the past and wouldn't shake his hand. :eyes:

How old are you? You sound just like my backseat when I'm driving the family to Disneyland.

Sorry if it got under your skin. :hi:

PS. I could care less if Hillary did snub Obama but since people like you posted about it 1,000 times tonight I assumed it was something important to you. :shrug:

Get under my skin, that is.

You are the one who went to the gutter and started name calling. And you are calling me a kid? Now that is funny!

to kids.

See, I knew at least ONE of you Obama supporters could be complementary and gracious.

Unlike, you know, your candidate.

threads I see here?

and people are downright dumbasses for making a big deal out of it, especially because they don't even know what the fuck happened.

to talk to Kennedy... knowing he was already unhappy because she had already gave him the cold shoulder...this is even more duplicitous...

God, this woman is sneaky.

to travel back to 1961 and convince his parents to give him his middle name.

"Go ahead... it's a great name! Be proud of it!"

She's crafty all right.

Surrender now. You can't beat that kind of evil.

Googully, googully, goo!

Start at minute one. Edwards comes out, Dodds comes next, shakes hands with Edwards. Obama comes out, shakes hands with Dodd. Clinton comes out, turns her back away from Obama as soon as she gets close.


Poor manners, eh?

It would be dishonest to deny that Hillary has repeatedly snubbed Obama... But not the night before a big primary (we all know those delegates will be seated) when the news of the day SHOULD have been the Kennedy endorsement. Obama could have afforded to show some of that Uniter not a Divider class we're hearing so much about. Now he's going into Florida, and Super Tuesday, with THIS as the big story.

when it comes to decency as a person? No, I wouldn't say so.

This was a mistake at a time Obama couldn't really afford to make one. Hillary 'was' classy coming over to shake hands, and the world will never know if SHE intended to snub Obama or not. He beat her to the punch. If she'd done it, everyone would have said "It's just Hillary being nasty again." But more is expected from Obama precisely because his candidacy is based on decency and hope... He just blew his SC bounce and Kennedy endorsement in one shot, just like he lost his Iowa bounce with "You're likable *enough*."

Is Obama nicer than Hillary? Probably so. But that doesn't negate a mistake like this, which is exactly the kind of thing the press lives for.

on their front page.

Barack blew it.

Does his actions match his words?

if someone has purposely tried to egg him on and snub him... he is human, and he can't ALWAYS show a face of complete acceptance and pleasantry.

if 999 out of 1000 of his actions match his message of unity, it only contradicts his message of unity superficially, not in reality.

I saw the video posted above. I'm certain Obama was expecting a handshake from Clinton (He shook Dodd's hand, then Dodd shook Edwards' hand). That and the various race-baiting throughout the campaign.

I don't know why the Hillary Clinton supporters think the photo is great for them. There IS a story behind it after all and they are just ignoring it.

Bush's last SOTU where you would think that Democratic senators would stand in solidarity and out of campaign mode, even for one night. So much for Hope! Change! Unity!

I saw her take her place in the lineup.

I didn't see a snub there.

if you don't *care* and it doesn't *matter*, then why are people wasting so much time defending Obama on this?
