I am in a staunch debate with a rightwinger! Can anyone send me a link (either pix or text) showing that bush also shook Chavez's hand? Thank you!

6. There is no picture -

it never happened.

You sure you're not thinking of that Rumsfeld picture, him shaking the hand of Saddam Hussein?

7. Yes...Unfortunately

that's exactly what I was thinking of!

2. Bush never shook his hand.

They avoided contact.

8. Chavez.......

said he extended is hand to Bush. My guess is that Bush ignored the outstretched hand.

The Venezuelan presidency says Obama initiated the handshake. It quoted Chavez as telling Obama he hopes for better relations between their nations.

Chavez also said: "With this same hand I greeted Bush eight years ago. I want to be your friend."

9. Thank You!

that works-it shows that bush was not only NOT a diplomat but just plain rude!
