"An Edwards supporter emails that Obama's snub is final evidence that her guy represents the grown-up wing of the party.

(And check out the staffer, cringing away from the whole thing.)

More seriously, Clinton -- who has trouble getting voters to identify with her -- has often profited from moments like this, where her opponent does something that makes her easy to identify with."

1. Huh - "an Edwards supporter emails"

:D

[Tellurian]

2. You mean the "uniting America", snub?

[Connie_Corleone]

3. And here's another view

11. *Character is Destiny* ... I believe Obama his the "grace and integrity" that is

rare to non-existent in the vast majority of political candidates.

Obama was permitting Ted and Hillary "a private moment" but the M$M is attempting to SPIN it as a snub. It was NOT a snub.

[MoonRiver]

4. It is worse than his "you're likeable ENOUGH Hillary" comment.

And it shows a pattern of petty, vindictive, and mean-spirited behavior on Obama's part. We do not need more of this in the White House.

5. Obama is classy. Can you feel the power? nt.

[ShortnFiery]

6. Obama was allowing them (Kennedy and HRC) a private moment. Yes, Obama is a gracious candidate.

Too bad we can't even BEGIN to say the same about HRC and her "pit bull attack dog" husband. ;)

[IndianaJones]

7. is this that game where we guess what Obama was doing? nt.

[1corona4u]

9. Yes, here's how classy he is...

so forgiving...such a .....uniter

[MethuenProgressive]

8. "Obama also maneuvered himself to shake Bush's hand."

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/01/realpals.html
Obama also maneuvered himself to shake Bush's hand. They exchanged smiles and, in the true Texas style of governors greeting legislators, Bush said, "Hey, buddy, how's it going?"

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. It's the horseshit of the day.

Meaningless and lacking context.

Here's an image that doesn't lack context:

12. You're usually preaching about how we should not buy into Drudge's tripe.

This is his lead story today.

You're funny.

[ruggerson]

16. Drudge picked it up after everyone else and his headline tries to equalize

the blame between the two candidates. His headline is "The state of their union."

Drudge's spin at damage control for Obama won't work, however, as every other news outlet is reporting the story as "Obama snubs Clinton."

Had Hillary done this, Drudge's headline would have been "THE SNUB" with sirens going.

[BenDavid]

13. Just shows how classless obama is. He most likely pouted

afterwards as HRC entered and she was all smiles and talking loud and just having a good time. People will see this and view this and come away with a negative opinion of obama and to think the good from the kennedy moment is now gone....

I find it rather funny since both were in the house chamber and legislation is the name of the game there, but I guess this applies to obama that no legislation can stop people from being assholes....

[bidenista]

14. this is huge. nt

[Minimus]

15. All I know is that I love the bright red in the sea of drab.

[spotbird]

17. Is there a video of the

snub? If it is so outrageous, it must be all over the place, but I can't find it.
