I think of” it” as third grade politics by those who forgot what they learned in kindergarten. Or maybe they were socially promoted.
The video/wmv or whatever it is &*@#$ with the link further down this post, has been purported to show that Obama was snubbed in person on camera in a formal diplomatic line and by more than one dignitary and that Obama obviously knew it.
HS.
Hypocrisy Sh*t.
Obama was signaling an introduction of dignitaries with a wave of his hand, not offering it as a handshake only to be rejected.
In this case conservatives are doing it and it makes me cringe. I also cringe when liberals do it and in the funny newsy venues too many of our young are really getting their “news” from, liberals do it better. Hypocrite that I am, many times I just laugh and cringe at the same time. Many never cringe so do not accuse them of hypocrisy.
Ideally, we all would reject it out of hand, ESPECIALLY when our friends, fellow political clubbers and other affinity groups do it. It keeps politics in the gutter, dumbs down America and unfortunately works. On all sides of the political cube it hardens hearts and separates our society from more positive possibilities.

Assuming you know how to open this type of *&^%$#@ media, all I know is it works on my Mac.

Chief…The video is significant. While Obama perseveres too relentlessly promote his own peculiar brand of geopolitics, and as America’s influence continues to withdraw and contract sigificantly, here is what seems clear evidence of what other world dignitaries think of his policies. It is almost painful to watch.
Strange Days.

Just the opposite, slowsmile, the video does NOT show Obama being snubbed,rather as is very common, it shows him motioning to another walking the line with him. He indicates with a wave of his hand toward the next in line for his companion to meet by shaking hands.
The fact this video is interpreted as a snub when it is not a snub, is what is embarrassing to me about the video, EVEN IF, as some believe, foreign dignitaries think Obama ineffective or worse.
That is a totally different issue worthy of an intelligent debate free of third grade hate politics by those socially promoted from kindergarten.
I think it is also a castigation of social promotion.

I see what you mean, the mistake is all mine.
