Video: Obama-Russian handshake snub
So the MSM blacked this out, but I’m sure they would have afforded George W. Bush the same courtesy. Oh wait…

Jul 13, 09 at 4:01 pmI guess you have never seen someone gesture with their their hand when introducing people.
Why would Obama shake hands and introduce himself to his own people?

Jul 13, 09 at 5:08 pmConservatives are such idiots. Obama is gesturing with his hand, not being snubbed. You guys will do anything to complain. It’s getting to a point where it is bordering on treason, with all the garbage being strewn. When the left criticized Bush, history is bearing them out. Every day we read where Bush (mostly that traitor Cheney) pushed the law way past where it was legal. Within the next 3 years you’ll find out more of the Constitution breaking activities of that administration. And to think they considered themselves Constitutionalists……ha!

Answer this honestly: With the six years of rampant ‘hate Bush’ mentality in the press and even on casual television programming you don’t think any of that bordered on treason but you feel that to point a finger in amusement over stories like this somehow is? Grow up. With the growing number of Americans who hold grave concerns over this president your brand of ‘hate Bush’ and ‘hate conservatives’ isn’t going to do anything to bring both sides together.

That would be nice, except that when you watch his mouth he never speaks beyond the first word. Usually when you introduce someone, you tell your guest their names and maybe an amusing factoid. You don’t just hold out your hand in a handshake gesture and look frustrated and embarrassed.

Jul 15, 09 at 9:52 amHow can you tell these are US people who Obama is introducing? As they walk in, it is Medvedev who ushers in Obama. See his hand movement? I will say that his last gesture was that ‘a gesture’. In the end, I dont take this as a way for us to spite Obama. The people in the video are spiting Obama and disrespecting the rest of us, Americans. Obama, our President, as leader of the free world deserves respect from the officials of other nations. We of course have the right to challenge him as Americans. Clearly, he was not given his due respect. In response to the coverage by CNN of Bush but not Obama, that is right on. CNN is today the Communist News Network. Calling us treasonous for challenging our government means that you are a communist and not fit to live under the protections of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. The 1st Amendment protects speech that is not polite because polite speech is not an issue. In regards to history bearing out the liberals and democrats, I happen to believe you are dead wrong. Bush did many wrong things; however, the apologizer in chief will only embolden our enemies. While they smile at him while he bows to their ‘kings’, they are still plotting and planning our destruction, the destruction of western civilization and the freedoms enumerated by our US Constitution and Bill of Rights. This is not spewed hate like IRISHKING; this is rational thinking about real world consequences supported by eons of history and ancient treatisies.

Jul 20, 09 at 5:29 amI found this pretty interesting because I never heard about it on any of the news channels, not even Fox. It turns out that these men are members of the US delegation and he was introducing Medvedev to them. Look at picture 37 in these photos
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2009/07/07/GA2009070701857.html
Some advice people, the internet is full of people spewing out false crap all the time. Clearly this video was edited. Next time you see a video posted on youtube, think twice about its factualness.
Roz said:
Jul 21, 09 at 1:22 pmPicture 37 clearly shows he is trying to “pretend” that he is introducing Medvedev because he is realizing they want nothing to do with him! Watch the video again from the beginning and you will FINALLY understand!!!
Roz said:
Jul 21, 09 at 1:44 pmAND of course you won’t hear it on the news! Unless he was a Republican!!! Wow, you really don’t get it do you?
jAA said:
Jul 21, 09 at 3:24 pmGet over yourself! The fact that your tagline reads you HOPING OBAMA FAILS is indicative of your lack of objectivity. Bush got snubbed because he was the worst president in the history of the US and basically snubbed world leaders to engage and carry out his own agenda… which was devastating to our country and the world.
It’s not a Democrat / Republican thing.
Get your sources straight, and stop making up your own commentary for video that clearly shows a counter reality to your claims.
that pit of hate you have in your stomach right now?!! And when you posted this sad blog?? That is the most telling information you can read and heed. It is telling you that you have your own issues with hate and wanting people to fail. Hope you get that handled. God love you.

Jul 21, 09 at 5:04 pmObama is clearly getting snubbed. Watch carefully. When he reaches out for the handshake and doesn’t get one, he even glances down at his own hand. He is probably thinking “oh my gosh, this can’t be happening, I’m too cool for this.” Then he tries to recover by making the next encounter look like an introduction.
It’s not that I want to see Obama fail. It’s that I want to see America succeed.
Reasonsjester said:
Jul 22, 09 at 3:32 amFirst, if Obama is introducing this delegation, his is the most awkward handshake-offering hand extension for an introduction I have ever seen. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t, but it looks odd.
Second, Obama looks down near the end of the video, a possible expression of reaction. A president in a position of authority tends to look people in the eye. This may be a habit, however.
Third, the delegation appears to be Russian. I lived in Moscow, Russia for a year and no their unique style and looks. I could be wrong.
I am also looking for diplomatic protocol that would forbid the delegation from shaking hands with Obama. People should scan the Russian press, such as Pravda, for factual clues on what happened here.

Jul 27, 09 at 12:13 amFascinating. Virtually no one commenting here bothered watching the 2nd video. The one where a major network deliberately lied about the exact same thing in order to demean President Bush.
In other words, the first video would “level the playing field.” Only it falls short because it’s impossible to get the major networks to do the same to Obama that they did to Bush.
The juxtaposition of these 2 videos, and the fact that CNN reported the 2nd as “fact” but failed to even mention the 1st is clear evidence of their hate fueled fraud.
And no one seems to see the psychology at work. It’s the “Richard Jewell” phenomenon. People still believe Jewell bombed the Olympics even after the FBI and defamation suits proved his innocence.
Similarly, we’ll never see CNN or NBC admit that for 8 years they propagandized Bush in order to destroy him. And surprise! The leftists succeeded at lowering Bush’s image among “moderates” just far enough that they were able to install their socialist comrade. Ever wonder why propaganda works? Because people who are overcome by emotion become immune to reality. Many people can’t see past the hate for Bush that was “planted” in their heads.
And now the American people are slowly waking up. They’re like a drunk guy waking up the morning and realizing he slept with the ugliest girl in the bar. America was intoxicated by “thrills going up their legs.”
You're all Crazy said:
Jul 27, 09 at 5:02 amObama was introducing his own officials, not being introduced. Would you snub your own boss? You better believe that the people who work for him already know his name and wouldn’t dare snub him. The last person he introduces appears to be US commerce secretary Gary Locke. Furtherrmore, there are pictures of Obama shaking hands with the Russian President.
As for the “2nd video”, (which no one watched because it doesn’t work), CNN actually did issue and apology and clarification afterwards. And if you think the media didn’t suck up to Bush in the lead up to the Iraq war then you need your memory checked.
Whose the American said:
Jul 27, 09 at 3:16 pmIf this is true, to me it is a Russian snubbing an American. Screw them and all of you who crawl into bed with them due to your politics. You act like you love Russians because they snub an American Democrat but would be mad if they snubbed an American Republican. The Arabs have a saying that the enemy of their enemy is their friend. Quit acting like Russians and Arabs and start acting like Americans.

Aug 07, 09 at 11:07 pmso typical of the boring puerile shite on this site. obviously he is introducing his delegation to medvedev but the fact that you believe otherwise and would take pleasure in the snubbing of our president, no matter who he is, is treasonous. to me this says it all- your hatred of obama trumps your loyalty to your country. i pity you.

Nov 15, 09 at 2:58 pmSome of you lefty pigs actually say that Bush was treasonous but you support The One. Obama betrays his country in fact (I’m so sorry world we suck you are so much better – to socialists, dictators, and animal terrorists), and in principle (to hell with free enterprise, or the sactity of law (hey unions who vote for me, take some money from rich people in Chrysler bonds)). He is a traitor to this country, and the brain dead socialist self-hating scum-bags (and people who just wanted to appear hip, the worst of all) who voted for him deserve the fall of America they are causing – shame we’re all attached to them.
Oh, and as for treason, take Congress and health care “reform”. It’s obvious that the country doesn’t want it, but they will use they accidental temporary majority (accidental as the country stupidly blamed Republicans for a big government social engineering financial crisis) to ram through socialism even though their constituants don’t want it. THAT IS TREASON.
You liberal socialist dictators are beyond reason or repair, enjoy the world you’re building, I’m sad to share it with you.

Nov 15, 09 at 6:35 pmThe CNN guy comments that there 2.5 million Google hits on Bush and Bully. The article is old. You actually get 7.3 million these days, after Bush’s eight years of service. Interestingly you get 119 million hits on Obama and Weak and he hasn’t even reached the one year mark.
