Ultimate Snub Fest: World Leaders Refuse to Shake Bush's Hand During G20 Photo-Op


www.rinf.com
CNN’s Rick Sanchez highlighted yesterday that during last weekend’s G20 Economic Summit, leaders from around the world refused to acknowledge or shake hands with President Bush as they walked on stage for a photo-op. As Sanchez explained, everyone was “greeting each other and shaking hands, but Bush walks with his head down like the dejected most unpopular kid in high school.”

Yes. It makes them look bad for not shaking our President's hand. I think they could have at least showed a little courtesy for our representative.

I partially agree.

For the record I hate what he has done to this world! and I blame the US people for putting him in power!

But I did feel for him if it was a blatant snub. Even Gordon B watched him go by.

Maybe George B was snubbing them? Something was obviously a miss before they came out.

He doesn't deserve to be snubbed. He has had no significant role in this economic melt down. It's the federal reserve that deserves to be snubbed!

Or he could have done what politicans have always done and not gave into the influence of money.People with power ie politicians have always had to battle against those with money wanting power...nothing new,has always been that way.But he caved in like obama and most other politicians..From Bitain to France to America all these politicans should be dragged out by the scruff of the neck and hanged for treason.Id do it myself,but im a wimp.

Um... I don't think Obama has given in. He insisted on using public financing during his campaign, and, he hasn't given into corporate donors, and, he has pretty much banned lobbyists from working with him during hist transition period. The only thing Obama has given into would be the Clintons.

And, how do most politicians not give into money? I'd like to see examples of this. I think it is more often than not that politicians do give into money.

Could it be that the Europeans didn't want to talk to Bush because of their stereotype they have of us? Europeans tend to think of us as stupid, immature, and arrogant. Maybe they thought by being closer to him they would become more arrogant?

You're totally wrong about him not giving in to corporate donors. Obama's contributors read like a who's who of Wall St. Banksters: Bear Stearns, Credit Suisse Bank, Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS just to name a few. Look it up, you might be surprised. And just to stay on topic:
I really don't care who does or doesn't shake Bush's hand.
