LOLOLOLOLOL.. :-D

CNN’s Rick Sanchez highlighted yesterday that during last weekend’s G20 Economic Summit, leaders from around the world refused to acknowledge or shake hands with President Bush as they walked on stage for a photo-op. As Sanchez explained, everyone was “greeting each other and shaking hands, but Bush walks with his head down like the dejected most unpopular kid in high school.”

on one hand.. it kind of annoys me because if they needed some help with a hard to fight war, money problems
or an oppressive leader.. HE.. or we rather.. would be the first number they call..

lol. yet they do this...

What you aren't knowing about this is that Bush just shook hands with everybody right before this happened... he was walking with some others who hadn't done so. It was a friendly thing, really.

?walking on stage for a [photo op] with ALL cameras running...
and everybody shaking hands.. everyone in front and behind him..

and he only looked at 2 of them.. then looked RIGHT away..

I dont buy the 'he saw them earlier..

that would mean that nobody else talked prior to the photo op..
only W did??

I think I was watching CBS - they showed tape of him shaking hands too - seriously, Zeke. I would have done the same thing. When I act human to human, I don't consider who's watching me. What does he care at this point? I'm sure he's psyched about leaving.

LOLOL.. hes not human, hes a politician.. :-D
they only care about the cameras and media portrayal of themselves..

he would have been in 'press the flesh mode' not W from the block mode..

edit:
oh, and im not saying he didnt 'say hi' earlier

maybe a conversation took place where they called him an idiot etc etc..
and he had his feelings hurt.. so he was going to snub them..
and vise versa...

Actually, I have it on good authority that earlier in the day, prior to
that photo op, Bush got every damn one of the other G-19's when he
shook their hands with a joy buzzer.

Suffice it to say, the G-19's were not going to fall for the same
prank twice.

We won't get fooled again.

Like him or hate him, but he is the President of the USA and for American people to take any form of delight in any possible form of disrespect to our leader and or country is something that no American should do.

I just hope that the world sees President Elect Obama as a strong leader and not a weak leader.

Just give him the time and the latitude to do his thing. Like Biden said, they may do some things that will make many Americans mad but trust that they are doing the right thing.

I didn't vote for Obama but the man, as my President, has my full support and respect and I hope his detractors and the media does not do to him what they did to Bush.
