What you are about to see is as disturbing as it is disgraceful. During last week’s G20 summit President Bush walks through a line of world leaders and no one shakes his hand, not one person. What is not clear is if they are ignoring the President or if he is ignoring them but either way as an American it is tough to watch.
Why?
Because these leaders, most of which rely on the United States for something; food, money, or military support don’t have the respect to shake the hand of the President of the United States if not for the man, then the office. Isn’t the office due the respect even if the person currently manning the post doesn’t?
If it is President Bush who refused to shake hands, then it is just another in a long list of guffaws from a leader that has spent his presidency making the United States look like buffoons.
Well, neither option is the case. Bush had already greeted each head of state prior to the video but this is how it was portrayed on CNN by Rick Sanchez.
I want you to look at this video, all right. It seems almost sad. Look at this. This is the president of the United States walking out on stage to take a picture with world leaders invited to the G20 summit over the weekend. Look at him. And he seems like the most unpopular kid in high school that nobody liked — you know, the one with the cooties?
I know some of you out there were wishing it was true!

Doesn’t every video that guy from CNN look like that? The pictures didn’t look too unfriendly to him http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/G20-Summit/ss/events/bs/111208groupg20#photoViewer=/081116/photos_ts/2008_11_15t121835_450×317_us_financial_summit1 (but I wasn’t following this)
Yeah Hart, not a big Bush fan! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Ranter I saw that piece last week and for as ferociously as I hate Bush for a split second I must admit I felt sorry for him and then I regained my senses and realized this is the man who spent the last eight years either thumbing his nose,strong arming or calling people out and now this little solid gold prick stands here as the head of the very capitalist pigs that plunged the entire world down the toilet and they should make nice to save his face there is no office in the world that can cloak his sins and then lets not forget all those who have died or wounded here and around the world at his command spurning him is letting him off way too easy!
