3. I saw that...Obama just jumped right out there to shake Bush's hand...
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 10:23 PM by 1corona4u

Oh, and it will be ignored, just like everything else.

14. I'll have you one by tommorow, I promise
Considering the SOTU *JUST* ended, there obviously isn't a vid out yet, but CNN was reporting on the snub.

5. If he's playing the snooty black man that's too good to shake the
white woman's hand card, then it will hurt. If he's playing the I just missed your soft hand, little lady card then not so much.

Hillary looks so eager to smile and be happy.
I wonder why she refused to greet Obama.

12. No effect
It was probably only noticed by those on DU. Considering I'm just watching NBC and they didn't say anything.

I'm watching on MSNBC, and never saw anything close to that.

Apparently neither Hillary or Obama wanted to talk to each other. :shrug: Much ado about nothing.

15. It depends. If he doesn't wash his hands after touching Bush's,
he's going to get very sick.

27. If Hillary had of been so crude,

Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 10:34 PM by southern_dem
yet another thread on this, but it seems that the reporter said that neither of them has so much as attempted to greet or talk to each other. Seems like a non-story. Unless it's about how petty they both are...

31. Clearly it will devistate his campaign.
Afterall, if little gaffs by Clinton can do it to her, the same must be true for him.
