A tribute to the political facial!

Silly CNN commentator, there were other leaders there that also didn't shake hands, like the guy behind Bush - he skipped over a few too.

I don't like Bush but this is just hyperbole.

The real reason that nobody would shake his hand is because everybody knows he doesn't wash after the bathroom at those conferences - it's an old fratboy joke. First one to shake his hand gets it and everybody else laughs.

Merkel got it on the shoulders last time, she knew not to touch his mitts this time around.

George W. Bushco and the recently ndicted Dick Cheneyburton

THE MOST HATED MEN IN THE WORLD.

Notice the German chancellor which Bush groped like an ape in the past wouldn't even LOOK at him.

Priceless.

1-20-09 The END of an ERROR.

Let the trials begins.

Censure Bushco and Cheneyburton. What a holiday present to the world that would be.

DIE U PIGS

What would you expect from CNN or FOX or CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC et al?

The greatest cheerleaders, lapdogs and sycophants of all time are now making haste to put as much distance between themselves and Bush like he had some disease?

Now they are all just piling onto the heap criticising, pointing out how unpopular he is, pretenting like they have always been doing their job.

It's amazing now how FOX news has sort of transformed into this new beast. Not quite sure what to make of it but I'd suspect they are just hedging their bets like all the other so-called news organisations.

I'm sure there's plenty of venom left in these snakes to start stinging Obama as soon as he misses on single handshake!!

The physical act of shaking hands is unhygenic and spreads diseases and warts. It should be banned for political events. Smelling someone's butt is even more hygenic than skin-to-skin contact and I wouldn't suggest doing that either.

We should all learn to just bow slightly when greeting each other. There's far more that can be communicated with a bow over a handshake.

And most people don't even know how to shake hands correctly anyway. You can tell a lot about a person by how they shake hands (even though this may sound contradictory to the above sentence). Have you ever shaken hands with a swindler i.e. a real estate agent?

Notice how some people don't even look you in the eye when shaking hands? Ever notice how they throw your hand away or quickly try to disconnect the handshake after less than 1 second? There are so many nuances to a handshake that are as easy to pick up from other body language. The handshake just confirms these notions. Hence, my suggestion of using the bow as a form of greeting. It allows for better judgement of an opponent.

The handshake is like apes flashing teeth. It's a smokescreen.

That's why nobody wanted to shake the president's hand.

The other "LEADERS" were worried about getting their hand back after the shake.

Pass this on to all and sundry:

On Jan 20th at around 5 pm - after work--wherever people are, in every city, every bar, restaurant, cafe, store, etc Everyone is going to have downloaded some of the soundtrack from The Wizard of Oz onto their iPods, MP3 players, iPhones, etc etc etc

AND --at around 5 pm we're all going to have a couple of good stiff drinks, turn up our music players and sing.

What will we sing?

Can't you guess?

'DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD
WHICH OLD WITCH
THE WICKED WITCH
DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD'

And that night we go home and all old time movie channels and theaters will be showing the Wizard of Oz--because we're lobbying them to do so from now til then. We'll all watch and sing again. Netflix and Blockbuster will be out of Wizard of Oz. People will hold Witch is Dead parties.

A grassroots movement for this is sweeping America. Join it. Pass it on.
Sing the wicked witch back to Crawford, TX
'There's no place like home. . .'

Maybe he feels that he's too important to have to greet people. After all he is the Leader of the World. That's arrogant. Even the Queen of England shakes hands.

Haven't you heard? According to Rush Limbaugh, Obama is already in charge of our country and is the one responsible for all of our problems. I guess I must have missed it, but evidently George W. was elected to be president only until November 4th, 2008. Thus, according to old Rush-bo and Sean Hannity, Bush is no longer responsible to do anything. All of the problems which Bush created are now currently "owned" by Obama.

Gee, how come Bush hasn't moved out of the White House already if he isn't president anymore?

He probably didn't wash his hands and the rumor spread fast.

I heard that Bush is very germ aware. When he shook Obama's hand, an aid squirted hand sanitizer into Bush's hand immediately. So I don't think he's being rude, he's just looking out for health.

I've adopted a similar policy (before ever hearing Bush did it) and I haven't gotten sick for years. It's nice.

(I'm not defending him; he should be brought to trial for his crimes.)

Karl, seek professional help.

Bush thought that he might get some black on him...

I wonder how many drinks George is up to a day now?
