You stay classy, Obama

[Tarc]

According to CNN...Seems that when several of the Senators sitting together tonight reached over to shake each others' hands and say a few words and such, when it was Obama's turn to shake Hillary's, he decided it was time to turn away to talk to Claire McCaskill on his other side.

You stay classy, Obama. :applause:

[cali]

1. hey, you stay classy too, tarc. want to call my mother senile

like you did another poster's? She's voting for Obama too.

You're about the last person who should be talking about what's classy.

26. That's not a strawman, its an ad hominem.

[ProSense]

2. Wow, not shaking Hillary's hand, preferring to talk to McCaskill!

Hillary's campaign is sinking!

[rodeodance]

70. HA Ha-another excuse conjured up for Obama's behavior!!

[moobu2]

3. I heard that and I’m not at all surprised.

4. Thats Ok..Hillary won't invite him to the inaugural...

[rodeodance]

73. now that is what I call payback:-)

[TankLV]

5. Proves what an ass obama is...

fucking asshole...

[Joe the Revelator]

13. Proves how desperate Hillary supporters are

Trying to spin this into a story.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I'm glad he started the thread.

I didn't see it. Typical cocky Obama.

[SlipperySlope]

90. What is the point of this image?

I keep seeing it posted, but I don't get why people are posting it.

[joshcryer]

19. I don't care how much you don't like me, if you turn away when I offer to shake your hand...

...you're a fucking asshole.

[Adelante]

85. When did she offer her hand?

[Bake]

86. Etiquette would dictate that she greet Ted, the elder, first

By that time, Obama's back was to her. What the hell was she supposed to reach out for? To smack Obama on the ass?

:rofl:

You people crack me up.

Bake

[Adelante]

89. His back was to her before she ever reached Kennedy

Look at the pictures.

[Bake]

91. You're splitting hairs.

He obviously saw her coming, and started to turn away. To say that his back was to her before she "reached" Ted is just splitting hairs.

I can see what I can see.

[MediaBabe]

60. A public snub is Bush's style

Not what we expect of diplomatic American statesmen.

[rodeodance]

71. There you go Again with that same old 'deperate" broken record.

[NursesluvHillary]

83. Hillary supporters are NOT desperate

It was rude and childish of Obama to do such a thing. You always shake your opponent's hand or at least greet them.

If this had been flipped the media would have been all over it saying what a poor sport Hillary is.

What would happen if Obama is the next Prez. Obama gets insulted by a leader of another country. The US needs a working relationship with the other country. Would Obama be so childish as refuse to shake that person's hand????

Obama says he wants to bring ppl together? How is he going to do that when he shows time and time again he is just all talk. Actions speak louder than words. When he snubbed Hillary it was just another example of his BS message.

[tabatha]

88. Apparently he had already

acknowledged her earlier.

[southern_dem]

6. And?

Classless, yeah I'd agree but what is she going to do about it; release a press release? :rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Did he really?

Wow.

[Occam Bandage]

9. Why not start a thread to cry about it?

Oh, wait.

[Tarc]

16. Sorry, did you say something?

Why, yes, you did.

[Occam Bandage]

25. BARACK: LEAVE HILLARY ALONE! BE NICE AND SHAKE HER HAND!

[no name no slogan]

49. OUCH! Might want to rehost that mofo

:hide:

[bunnies]

10. I hate Obama thread number 47000 for the day!

Awesome. We dont have enough of these. The bigger the steaming shitpile the better. :thumbsup:

[sniffa]

11. Oh for fuck's sake

Level 2 is an abomination. :eyes:

[sniffa]

21. Agreed

He's gotta be one of the worst ever here. And I've been here since 2004 (heavy lurker since 2002).

[joshcryer]

22. Probably a bit worse, actually. At least P2BA would shake your hand if offered.

46. Is that a tombstone I see?

Or are my hopes just too high. :shrug:

on edit: my hopes = too high. :banghead:

[cali]

68. have fun banging your head, sweetie.

[CyberPieHole]

20. His parents taught him all about manners and they show so brilliantly...

:evilgrin:

[BeyondGeography]

24. That does it, Obama is toast

you can all go home now.

[calteacherguy]

27. I think it would be very odd if he shook her hand after all her lies and smears.

He does have self-respect. I'm glad he pointedly avoided interaction with her. To shake her hand would imply everthing was O.K., and the behavior her and hubby have engaged in is very, very far from O.K.

They need to get that messsage, and it sounds like Obama delievered it appropriately if reports are true.

[ruggerson]

30. I think it would be very odd for someone who seeks to lead our nation

to act like a petulant six year old.

[calteacherguy]

31. You are confusing Obama with the Clintons. nt

[ruggerson]

34. I understand she is the one who offered her hand

and he refused it.

So, no, I'm not mistaking anyone.

[DUyellow]

48. "offered her hand" Really? where did you see that at? Is this Drudgereport.com?

[ruggerson]

59. drudge is a shill for Barack Obama

you haven't been paying attention, have you?

[DUyellow]

63. funny you say that, its on there.

[rodeodance]

74. Hillary walked over to greet them, Kennedy had class, Obama did not. End of story.

[emilyg]

67. What a uniter - NOT.

[ErnestoG]

29. You're speaking of class?

Why would you call someone's mother senile?

[Tarc]

65. The difference is, I KNOW I am an asshole. :)

But I'm not running for president. Saying that I lack decorum in an attempt to deflect my criticism of Obama's own decorum violation is a pretty glaring argumentum ad hominem fallacy.

Might wanna work on that.

[mckeown1128]

32. I don't have a link but I have seen him shake her hands before..

At least twenty times I swear.

[rodeodance]

75. Too bad he forgot his manners last evening.

[leftynyc]

82. In front of a national audience

Just what he wanted, I suspect. HIs right to do it, I suppose. Not very presidential.

[AX10]

33. Hillary can take a loss with such grace, but Obama...

can't take anything without getting uppity, a win or loss. Really "classy" just like that jackass speaking on the TV right now. :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:v

[ErnestoG]

35. Did Obama ever throw an ashtray at his wife?

Hmmmm....no. No he didnt.

[Tarc]

36. Neither did Hillary

The meme is in regard to a lamp, btw;

http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/lamp.asp

just so you get it right the next time

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. You're Correct

There's a difference between throwing or not throwing something in a rage and refusing to shake another person's hand...

[ErnestoG]

43. Oh, a LAMP! Even better. Thanks.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. WTF....

Are you talking about?

[AX10]

38. Hillary haters just making up crap yet again.

[Skip Intro]

44. They HOPE people will BELIEEEEVE......

[rodeodance]

78. They will do anything to win.

[bidenista]

55. uppity?

Interesting choice of words.

[Tarc]

64. A shining example here of an Obama supporter playing the race card

:applause:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. If You Are Correct And It's On Video He Just Gave Hillary A Gift

I'm not bothered at all...

This is fuckin great...

[Lucinda]

41. If it is, you are correct. :)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Remember When Clayton Williams Refused To Shake Ann Richards' Hand After Their Debate

It cost him the election...

[Lucinda]

47. I watched Obama do it at the fillibuster at the end of last year

and thought is was childish. It was my firt little checkmark in the uhmmm...not sure about this guy column. I didn't know about the Ann Richards situation. Little thing are telling, and if the media choses to focus, I can see where it certainly could change things.

[joshcryer]

50. He did this last year? Link?

[Lucinda]

54. I saw it as it happened. But I think there was CPSAN coverage. So it might be in the archives?

It was at the filibuster they all showed up for last year. Fall maybe? I cannnot remember the date.

[joshcryer]

56. I'll look in to it, if it was late last year should still be accessable.

[Lucinda]

58. I cant believe I cannot remember what the filibuster was for. But it's the only

one that happened towards the end of the year, as far as I know...My short term memory sucks. :)

[robbedvoter]

51. MSM choses not to focus. Until the GE that is.

[Skip Intro]

42. But...but...but....he's the beacon of UNITY and CHANGE and HOPE and

bullshit

[krabigirl]

57. lol

[rodeodance]

76. The beacon light just faded.

[bidenista]

61. AP story

[Tarc]

62. Thanks for posting that

Nice to have definitive confirmation in the face of all the Bitterman apologists here.

[rodeodance]

79. "Kennedy shook her hand while Obama, wearing a dark suit and standing between the two, turned away."

says it all--LOUD and CLEAR

[question everything]

66. Will he turn away when there are fires in Pakistan

or Venezuela, Kosovo or Liberia?

[goodgd_yall]

69. Oh, friggin' give it up

It don't mean a thing.

[DesEtoiles]

72. Hillary's voter suppression has class written all over it.

Class without the "CL".

[dailykoff]

77. You stay sleazy, Hilly.

Did Carville dream up this one or did Junior have one of his rare lucid moments?

[rodeodance]

80. good Rovian tactic--turning the Truth on its head.

[dailykoff]

81. Yes it was wasn't it?

Direct from the lone-star state as it appears.

[Danascot]

84. I call "Anchorman" reference!

You realize you're quoting the Will Farrell character, Ron Burgundy, from "Anchorman": "You stay classy, San Diego.", right?

[Raine]

87. Lessons on class coming from you...

after insulting a poster's mother, yeah you are really "classy"...NOT!

[itcfish]

Classy is Not The Word

I would use for Obama. Republican Lite is a better description.
