    Good. I wouldn't acknowledge her after the way she's acted either.

    It was not Presidential and not gracious. It doesn't match the message of change and healing the wounds that divide this country. It is a tendency he has when ahead that leaves his flank open and open to attack by his opponent.

    IF he is the nominee, now is the time to make these mistakes. Now is the time to learn from the mistakes. Now is the time to stop making the same mistakes.

    This nomination process will make him a better candidate in the general election (if he gets there). But it does show an immaturity that gives moderates doubt.

    If he is an agent of change - of changing the tone in Washington - he needs to step up and change his tone with an opponent he should be crushing.

    Ted: would you hit that?
    Barack: yeah, I'd hit it

    Just so we're clear: being "presidential" involves tearing down your political opponent (whether what you say is correct or not, apparently doesn't matter), feigning tears to drum up votes, staging sexist protests for political gain. But in the end, if you just walk and shake the hand of your political opponent all that other **** is forgiven?

    I'm sorry, I thought that was called being two-faced.

    The big news here is that Sii, Tahoe, and Washpark are endorsing Obama for Pres. That is wild stuff, congrats for coming over from the dark side.

    I loathe ******** greetings like that. If I don't like someone and the feeling is mutual, I'm not going to shake their hand. What's the point in pretending?

    ^ agreed. Again, it's just being a false *******... like most everyone in politics.

    Kev
    you said, "If I don't like someone and the feeling is mutual, I'm not going to shake their hand. What's the point in pretending?

    do you live and work in a windowless room.?Are you saying you like everyone within your sphere? that you like everyone you work with and for , everyone you have to interact with on a regular or semi regular basis?
    I am calling BS on that.

    and yes it is a sign of maturity and intelligence that you can at the least politely greet people with whom you have disagreements
    Did anyone watch the number of Dems clamor to get their hand shook by and picture taken with Bush last night? Dems Bush knows have called him every name in the book. Bush smiled and shook all their hards. Obama turns a sour face. Who looked more presidential?
    if obama as pres meets with a despot, murdering dictator like say an Arafat should he turn a sour face away and not shake hands?
    obama has much to learn

    HRC has class at least, Obama could take a lesson there.

    I'm not talking about refusing to shake hands with the annoying guy from accounting. I'm talking about the kind of people you can't stand to be in the same room with and they feel exactly the same way.

    people like Stalin? Any leader of china? Arafat? Any despicable leader that any of our pres have had to engage over the years?etc etc
    or how about a boss you despise? a co worker you hate but have to interact with regularly? a customer/ client you havefzero respect for?

    You must live a very dull life if you never have to interact in a polit4e way with people you don't like. good for you

    Sorta response from the Obama camp:
    "I think he knew that Senator Kennedy and Senator Clinton were friends," he said. "This was obviously an awkward day from that standpoint, and I don't think he wanted to stand there while Senator Kennedy was greeting Senator Clinton. And I think that was an appropriate sentiment."

    did anyone else notice Bush made it a point to go to Ted and shake hands? I feel sure Bush didn't ask him if he'd drowned anyone lately.
    Bush also made it a point to shake Obama's hand.
    now THAT is class

    If our next President isn't quite as classy as Bush but is better at doing his job I'll take that trade off. All you guys harping on class sound like aggy.

    Maybe Obama won't want to shake the hand of world leaders he despises, but at least he's willing to talk to them instead of acting like a petulant child, taking his toys, and going home.
