Did McCain refuse to shake Obama's hand after it was over???

[Bake]

It looked to me like McCain walked up, looked the other way, and patted Obama on the back. Obama stuck out his hand and McCain IGNORED IT and turned away, so Obama shook Cindy's hand.

Did I see that right?

1. You saw what I saw...video here.

Did you see how McCain wouldn't shake Obama's hand?
Also, Obama stayed a long long time, may still be there.
McCain and wife shook a few hands then left.

10. Tapped Barack on opposite shoulder ... childish prank .. what an ass.

[craiga86]

11. Exactly right

McCain tapped him on the opposite shoulder and then tried to initially act like he didn't tap him on the shoulder and waved to someone in the crowd. Then he started his goofy smile.

23. yep, I saw that. what an idiot. he should be so lucky. I'd love to shake "Mr. President's" hand.

[EFerrari]

30. I'm glad you posted that because that's what I thought happened

and then I thought I'd seen wrong. Nope. McMore always is more rude than you can expect him to be.

[xiamiam]

2. yep....thats my interpretation as well..mccain has no grace...nt

[Bake]

4. I haven't seen any of the talking heads address it yet.

But I've been flipping around.

Glad my 53 year old eyes didn't deceive me.

12. What's this bullshit I'm reading about "yes he did" and "tom's script"?

God damn it, if they've got a video then fine, I didn't see the mother fucker shake a brother's hand.

Hold me back!!!

[lob1]

5. I took it as McCain introducing Cindy to Obama. I could be wrong.

Has Obama met Cindy before?

Edited to add: I just saw the tape. Fuck McCain.

[SharonRB]

7. I'm sure they've met before.

[Bake]

34. If not elsewhere, they met at the last debate

Because I know I saw Michelle and Barack shake Cindy's hand while Gramps was running for cover so he didn't have to touch "that one."

6. McCain is such an ass

Yes, that's what I saw too. McCain looked bad tonight. Anyone with a functioning brain saw that.

[aasleka]

9. No, he shook his hand and then they got in the way of Tom's script

[BlooInBloo]

13. People keep saying that. I have yet to see video of it.

[Beaverhausen]

15. That is what happened. They did shake hands right when the debate was over

[BlooInBloo]

16. People keep saying that. I have yet to see video of it.

[Beaverhausen]

20. After McCane's final statement, when Brokaw was thanking them, they stood up and shook hands.

the camera was on Brokaw and they got between Brokaw, the camera and his teleprompter. Remember when he said he couldn't read it?

[BlooInBloo]

22. People keep saying that. I have yet to see video of it.

[NYC_SKP]

14. Prove it! I've seen video's of McCain punking Obama, no handshake.

Find a video of a handshake and I'll STFU about it.

[rebel with a cause]

26. It is at the same site/link that the op has posted.

As soon as the debate ended, they stood up, shook hands, patted each other on shoulders and stood in front of TB. It was only shown on ABC and not any of the other channels.

It is below in the comments.

31. Thanks, I see that now. They shook, later it looked like a snub.

Now I'll STFU!

:hi:

[rebel with a cause]

32. that's okay. some times we just need proof. ; )

:hi:

[Bake]

35. Alright, me too.

I still think McLame's a dick, though.

And I'm not going to sTFu, but I will concede the point.

17. I saw it

Barack turned to McCain, hand outstretched, and McCain backed up and gestured to his wife. So Barack shook her hand.

Just what I'd expect from a desperate man who has no class.

[Dem_4_Life]

18. What an ass!

[truthisfreedom]

19. He directed Obama to his claw-handed wife. Here's a gif of the slight you can put anywhere you want.

[Binka]

24. McLame RECOILED From Obama's Hand. Recoiled Like A Snake..

recoiled, recoiling, recoils

Definition 1. to draw or start back, as in disgust or horror

What a motherfucking POS McLame is. Horrid. Disgusting. LIAR and Racist.

[votetastic]

21. It looked like McCain didn't want to shake Obama's hand again

since they shook hands immediately after the debate

[nc4bo]

25. I wouldn't refuse a handshake, even a 2nd one. It's tacky and lame.

and Mccain made a big to-do about nothing.

Mccain gets 0 passes from me.

[Bake]

36. I guess once was all he could stand.

What a dick.

[CitizenLeft]

27. they did... but the camera was focussed on Brokaw...

...when it happened. All you could see was their heads close together suddenly, at the very bottom of the frame, and then going out of the picture. They did shake.

[nsd]

28. No. They shook hands before the thing with Cindy.

It was when they were in Brokaw's way.

[EFerrari]

29. What an ass McBomb is. I can't wait till we beat him silly. n/t

[ecstatic]

33. Absolutely. At least Cindy has more class (in her later years, that is) nt
