It appears in this video that President Bush's approval is in a sorrier state than polls indicate. In a video taken at the G20 summit, Bush walks
across a line of world leaders without shaking or being asked to shake any of their hands. Whether the President is being rejected by the world
leaders or he is rejecting them, CNN's Rick Sanchez aptly says that Bush looks like "the most unpopular kid.

Not sure if it is them or him not wanting to shake hands. It is amusing to watch him walk up there with his head held down in shame.  He
deserves it!!!
He has a dismal record and not even should be considered a world leader....as he has had the go it alone approach for too long..GOD I can not wait
till 1/20/09.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion. Maybe he has a cold and doesn't want to spread germs As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

I don't think it means anything, watch it again. Notice that the second guy from Bush (the taller one) only shook one persons hand, he even reached
across one person to get to her. Also you can see Bush acknowledge each one as he passes and looks down afterward, as if he is watching where he is
going.

Its a major slight of protocol not to shake the hosting party's hand. When was the last time you saw that happen?
|
I dont let any of my subjects touch me. Maybe bush is the same.
|
I think it's taken out of context. Protocol would have had Bush offer his hand first. I believe that Bush had already shaken hands with them.
That's the only reasonable explanation, it's impossible to believe that of
ALL the leaders, none would have acted like he expected to have his hand shaken. Of course, that's the "reasonable" assumption.

If you pay attention to the clip you see that even the Saudi king shakes no hands apart from once with UK PM
Dubya The Loneliest Guy
So im pretty sure its taken out of context

didn't obama say that after bush shook hands with him, that bush then turned to someone for a dollop of hand sanitizer? if you're the president, you
can't go shaking everyone's hand. especially now that its cold season.
