OMG Obama shook bush's hand.

[mckeown1128]

But wouldn't shake Hillary's. Now I can't vote for him. :sarcasm:


ohh sorry I thought for once I would jump in on the faux outrage against Obama for once.

[L0oniX]

1. I hope he quickly washed that hand.

[Freida5]

26. Bush or Obama?

[L0oniX]

32. Obama of course.

[russian33]

2. but really, why did he?

(i have no idea about his shake/no shake with Hillary)...but really? Bush? shake hand? :(

[mckeown1128]

3. have you ever seen Mallrats....

10,000 cool points to anyone that gets the mallrats joke.

[Nailzberg]

5. Secret Service would never let Obama give him a pretzel

Chocolate covered or not.

[mckeown1128]

We have a winner!!!

lol :rofl: I actually forgot about the pretzel part but that just makes it funnier.

[tammywammy]

12. LOL

:rofl: Bush would definitely choke on it. :rofl:


That's a DUzy for sure!

[bunnies]

23. You just cant get that smell off!

:toast: Can I interest you in a chocolate covered pretzel?

7. Because he's the president. It's protocol. You suck it up

and shake the president's hand even though he's the world's biggest douchebag. And he'd be called a pissy little ass if he didn't.

[russian33]

18. not every senator shook his hand

he didn't have to...he didn't have to make a big deal about it, just step back as the moron was approaching..i don't know, didn't think it was necessary

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Seems to me since he's now (maybe) the Dem front-runner, it could have been

just a little in-your-face. Like, nyah, nyah, I'm gonna be giving this speech next year. At last that's what I'd be thinking if it were me.

[Peregrine Took]

9. WHY indeed? I guess its that republican admiration thing. It would have

been so cool and powerful if he has eschewed his paw.

[Nailzberg]

13. You respect the office even if you don't respect the man.

[bellasgrams]

27. He's an ---kisser

[joshcryer]

4. Faux outrage? I am extremely offended if he made a concerted effort to avoid shaking...

...Hillary's hand. And I can't determine until I see the video. Many Obama supporters see nothing wrong with that. I find it arrogant, and dispicible, if true.

[mckeown1128]

16. I swear I have seen Obama shake her hand before...

several times.

[ursi]

6. where did you see that? that didn't show on cspan

[mckeown1128]

20. I am not completely sure he did...

I happened to have the SOTU on faux news(ugh I know, I feel dirty) It really looked like they did but it wasn't clear. My post was about trying to prove a point. Much ado about nothing.

[ursi]

8. where did you see that? that didn't show on cspan

[tabatha]

10. I thought Bush just walked by Obama.

[ursi]

14. that's what I saw on cspan, he didn't shake obama's hand

[russian33]

21. and then he turned around, and chatted/shook hands

with him and Ted Kennedy...showed it on MSNBC

[Pathwalker]

11. "Wipe!...Wipe! ...Wipe! " channeling Monk.

;-)

[tammywammy]

17. That's exactly what I was thinking

[bidenista]

15. O! M! G!

[mckeown1128]

28. Cute picture.....nt

[GoldieAZ49]

22. your kidding right?

POTUS is a very exclusive club, they are not enemies

anyone remember photos of GHW Bush and Bill Clinton chumming around together as ex Presidents?

Or the Photo of 4 or 6 (I forget) ex Presidents?

[Gloria]

24. Obama, quoted: "If you're not angry, they'll like you"--

Sounds so familiar...let's see...who?? Bill Clinton???

Sound the trumpets for CHANGE!!! :sarcasm:

[BlackVelvet04]

25. cooties...........

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[1corona4u]

29. I could care less if he shook Hillary's hand or not...

but I was truly disgusted that he jumped right in there to shake Bush's hand. Seriously, no faux outrage neeed. Despicable.

[mckeown1128]

30. I swear I have seen Obama shake Hillary's hand.

I have also seen Hillary's shake Bush's hand. The outrage is ridiculous.

[pettypace]

31. Bush is just congratulating his successor

Go Barack!

[Eric J in MN]

33. I wish modern presidents would just email their SOTU to Congress...

...so we wouldn't have to deal with the handshaking and applause by what is supposed to be the opposition party.
