Hillary=Class. She does not get Ted's endorsement, not the end of the world

[2rth2pwr]

but it's gotta smart a bit. What does she do in response? She walks up to him on the floor of our government and comes together with Kennedy,

in a show of good manners shakes his hand. Obama's hope and unity response?, turn away whistling as if she's not even there.



what's his malfunction?

[DesEtoiles]

1. Yeah, she just leaked it early to the press to screw with the Obama campaign.

[emilyg]

11. Ted's office staff leaked it.

[Kittycat]

2. Hey look... Another Handshakegate Thread!

To go with the 90 others.

[roguevalley]

18. take all these threads and crochette them together and you would

have the stupidest three armed sweater ever made by man. (That isn't too over the top is it?) :evilgrin:

[sfam]

3. I was hoping someone would make a thread on this...thanks!

[aquart]

4. No malfunction. That's the man.

That's what we get if we get him.

[mondo joe]

5. She's tough, and professional. Good work.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

7. Yes, she is. She truly demonstrates reaching across the aisle.

6. cool, calm, and collected

just like your post :thumbsup:

[Dogmudgeon]

8. Y'know ... I think this is a whole lot of nothing

We have the word of one photographer. BHO could have turned around a second or two before HRC offered her hand to ... Teddy, maybe.

Just like Bill's alleged racism.

We are so keyed up that we're hypervigilant and hypersensitive.

There are real issues to be discussed. Instead, we have micro-parsing of compliments, handhake opportunities, eye-mistings, and the exact timing of when who's father did what.

Let's wait to hear what really happened from Barack, Teddy, and most of all, Hillary.

24. He was happy and eager to shake b*sh's hand

He's running on a platform of unity, bringing people together, moving beyond the petty politics of yesterday, looking forward to days filled with hope and rainbows, believing in the power of goodness and cotton candy, and days of endless sun and prosperity for all.

If he can't be bothered to show civility and basic manners at a time in our history that is crying out for healing and coming together in the effort to provide basic rights to the common man, If his reaction to the normal give and take of the election process is to show his frustration over some perceived slight, his soaring rhetoric may as well be looked at as putting pretty lipstick on a hopelessly ugly and crass pig.

9. The AP says Teddy initiated the handshake. It's Teddy who has Class. nt

[emilyg]

13. She did not turn away the way Obama did.

[Quixote1818]

22. Yes she did. Twice before

10. Fascinating photograph.... picture/thousand words and all that! nt

[AX10]

12. Hillary is smart and she will prevail.

[BenDavid]

14. Just like some jiveass would do. Oh do not give me any crap

about this being racist. Hey, I got the urban dictionary and there is no reference to jiveass being racist....and here is the meaning: a fool; someone who thinks they're cool but is really stupid;

[WillyT]

15. Ah Yes... 'Jive For Dummies'... I Have A Copy Too !!!

:evilgrin:

[journalist3072]

16. She's full of grace and courage. A wonderful human being. eom

[alittlelark]

17. MSMSheeple should stop bleeting.

This 'story' is a creation of the MSM and is just..., well,.... EMBARASSING.

[2rth2pwr]

20. These are the stories that people feel safe talking about at work

or out and about. "You see b*sh fall of that scooter?, what a maroon"

"What's up with Pelosi's eyes? yea that's weird"

"did you hear about Rudy and how he got the cops to limo his girl all over the place? wtf is up with that?"

"Holy shit, I can't believe that shit! He shook the b*shes hand and then turned his back on her? no way" "Way"

"dude, it was funny as hell. He was standing there all friendly like and then when she came over he was like,'psyche!'"

[okasha]

19. Teddy is a gentleman of the old school.

I'll bet he's wishing like hell he'd waited another 48 hours to announce his endorsment.

[avrdream]

21. Is there a video of this because it looks terrible for Barack in still pictures.

It comes across as another, "you're likeable enough, Hillary" moment.
