OMG..Hillary and her spin on the Handshake
Unbelievable. I'm sorry people...all she had to do was say, I don't think he snubbed me...instead of the drivel and non answer she's giving.

Her hand is extended to Obama and she looks forward to shaking his hand very soon?


Omg! :eyes:

politics.

70.  Obama's tactic was to "let it lie" when it came to the "fairy tale" distortion,
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 12:16 PM by oasis

gracious would have been, to just answer the question dead on and instead of the spin..with a smile.

Do you think he snubbed you or not? Don't do the BS dance..I hate that shit.

25. You are so totally wrong!!!
Obama can answer straight on...yes or no. He's the one who did or didn't snub. It is not Hillary's place to say what Obama did or didn't do. Unless she can read his mind she can't know whether it was intentional or not. She answered PERFECT!

Not that it suprises me but she said she tried to shake his hand. Complete fabrication.

I dont ever want to see this woman anywhere near a public office that represents me. She will aparently lie about anything. I will not support that kind of crap ever.

18. MSNBC Is Pissing Me Off About This As Well - Continuing To Milk The Picture.....
why don't they show the series of pictures we've seen here on DU? They keep showing only the one that makes Obama look bad. Coupled with Hillary's cagey answer - they are swaying the public opinion on this.

But this is what we've come to expect out of our MSM & *Co for the last 8 years. Haven't we've had enough of this? Are we ready for another 4 years of Rovian tactics and MSM manipulation?

To me the Media and the Clinton campaign are chanting: 4 more years - 4 more years - 4 more years.......

We need to get this country back on track and poised for the future - but it looks like some want us to stay muddled in the current and the past. God help us.

She's clearly trying to spin a complete non-issue to take political advantage and try to make Obama look bad. It amounted to nothing more than a baldfaced lie, and further lowered my opinion of her.

Kennedy offered his hand to her and she reciprocated. She was NOT extending her hand to Obama, but now she's pretending she was snubbed.

Are we supposed to believe her hand was aimed at OBAMA and Kennedy just "intercepted" it? She's going for the sympathy/"I'm bigger than him" vote and it's FALSE. What an opportunist.

Posted by bidenista on Wed Jan-30-08 09:47 AM

Have at it, Hillbots and Obamaniacs:

...WALLACE: Finally, Senator Clinton, there was an incident last night at the State of the Union Address that's getting a little bit of attention. When you came into the hall — we put the picture up — you reached out. Senator Kennedy and Senator Obama were standing side by side. Senator Kennedy shook your hand. Senator Obama says that he was looking away to talk to somebody else. Some people are saying that he snubbed you. Do you feel that you were snubbed last night?

CLINTON: Well, Chris, I reached out my hand in friendship and unity, and my hand is still reaching out and I look forward to shaking his hand when I see him at the debate in California. But what's important here is that, you know, any differences between us as Democrats pale in comparison to the differences between us and the Republicans. And I think we'll have a unified Democratic Party. We will come together not only as a party but as a country in this election year. And I am confident that we're going to present a very strong case to the American people as to why Democrats should once again be in the White House....

42. She could try the truth for a change.
She and Kennedy were shaking hands. To imply directly or in-directly that she was trying to shake Obama's hand, but he turned her back to her, so Kennedy ended up shaking it instead is dishonest, but par for the Clinton course. She'll do or say anything to win. Nothing is beneath her.

66. That's rich.
Clinton supporters have ASSumed and have been pushing from the get-go that Obama intentionally snubbed Clinton. Now that photographic evidence, and confirmation from McCaskill prove otherwise, they pull out the "don't assume" what she meant card. And to boot, they play the "she's not spinning" card too. She's just giving an honest answer.

Just unbelievable.

All she had to do was answer the damn question. She was asked on Fox, MSNBC, CNN and other shows, yet she danced to make it appear as if, she's so classy and her hand is STILL extended and she looks forward to shaking Obama's hand soon..

49. Good for Hillary!!!!
I didn't see Obama come out and denounce those who called Bill & Hillary racists, even though he knew better. He milked it for all it was worth to get the SC vote and it worked for him.

So, now his fans complain because in one of the best days of his political life he still had to show how smarmy he really is and not make an effort to shake Hillary's hand? Precisely because he had scored big that day it behooved him to reach out and show that he was a classy man. Everybody saw the photo where he and Teddy are staring at Hillary before the handshake incident. Ted at least made a pointed effort to call out to her and reach out to extend his hand. Why didn't Obama do the same?

58. Yes, Obama milked that issue for several days. As a leader he should should
have come out Immediately to denounce the race baiting. Instead,by his silence, he let the stew become toxic. Talk about milking!!

53. I'm sorry but I CANNOT support this woman!

Her "spinning" of something so innocent is becoming ridiculous.

If she is such a "strong" woman, why the hell is she playing victim? That's not feminism!

Enough is enough! If she is the nominee, I may vote for the down ticket and leave the presidential part of the ballot blank.

I've never wanted to use bad language against any woman, but Mrs. Clinton, you are testing my nerves!

:argh: :mad: :grr: :nuke:

Are we supposed to believe her hand was aimed at OBAMA and Kennedy just "intercepted" it? She's going for the sympathy/"I'm bigger than him" vote and it's FALSE. What an opportunist.
