Obama and Clinton are competing for the nomination

[Colobo]

I don't expect them to be nice at each other. Why would you?

1. Well, if this forum is any indication

of the warm fuzzy feeling between the two...

2. oh so he shook bush's hand, cause they're not competing?

they are both democrats..they should at least be civil, in public..shaking a hand is not the end of the world...if Clinton and Kennedy can shake hands, after today...Obama and Clinton should be able to do the same thing

3. There is such thing as good sportsmanship though

Its not like they're fighting WWIII here.

4. Actually, I don't get why he'd shake hands with Bush, but not Hillary. nt

5. I would hope they would....I think we need to get to a place in politics where

You can disagree with each other politically, but still be genuinely and sincerely cordial to each other. Washington used to be like that. My understanding has always been that Senators would have these debates on the floor, and then go out for drinks afterward. Things like that.

It's a shame that we've gotten to where we are now.
