3. Since Bill's sex life is none of your business, I'll go with Hillary shaking Ted's hand and Obama
snubbing her is more rude.

9. He would never have had to make that statement if the Richard Melon Scaife crowd wasn't digging into
his personal life where they had no business digging. Bill and Hillary's sex life is none of your business. You want Richard Melon Scaife in your bedroom? If not, I suggest you mind your own business.

12. He would never have made the statement if there wasn't a BJ.
Think about it!

Besides all between Bill and Scaife is now forgiven. Puke!

13. If the MSM doers not censor this story -- it it really gets OUT there -- Obama is sunk.
Deliberately turning your back on a person, especially a woman, who intends to be amiable toward you, is the crassest of crass acts. Unforgiveable for any gentleman.

Enough to decide against him for president?

You BET it is! If the media gives this story it has had on DU tonight, Obama is finished.

Rick Lazio did something like this to HRC in her first election and it destroyed him.

23. It'll get back page coverage.
Then if Obama wins the nomination it'll roll into the front page and we'll get lots of stories saying "See we told you he was a big old hypocrite flip flopper".

All this shit that's been given scant attention will get a new lease on life.

21. It was apparently a topic of discussion in the Press Gallery. Here's the link:
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/01/by_frank_james_president_bush.html

    ...Sen. Barack Obama refused to make himself available to greet Sen. Hillary Clinton before the speech.

    When members of the Senate entered the chamber, Obama came in before Clinton. He went out of his way to greet as many House members as possible and walked halfway across the chamber to greet members of the Supreme Court, the president's cabinet, the military joint chiefs.

    That made what happened next even more striking. Obama returned to stand by his seat next to Sen. Edward Kennedy who endorsed Obama today in a widely watched event that reverberated across the political world.

    As Clinton approached, Kennedy made sure to make eye contact and indicated he wanted to shake her hand. Clinton leaned towards Kennedy over a row of seats and Kennedy leaned in towards her. They shook hands.

    Obama stood icily staring at Clinton during this, then turned his back and stepped a few feet away. Kennedy may've wanted to make peace with Clinton but Obama clearly wanted no part of that.

    As president, Obama has said he would meet with the U.S.'s enemies without precondition. But making nice with Clinton apparently is another mattter after the increasingly angry fight the two have waged, with charges and countercharges, for the Democratic presidential nomination.

    The sense in the press gallery was that Obama didn't cover himself in glory. Someone even used the word "childish." (Not this writer.) Judging by how much conversation there was about this brush off in the press gallery, Americans will be hearing a lot more about this tomorrow and in coming days.

    The fact that much of the discussion in the press gallery after Bush's was about the snub is probably an indication of how we journalists and perhaps the nation are already moving past Bush, how the presidential campaign is increasingly crowding out anything Bush has to say .

"If the MSM doers not censor this story -- it it really gets OUT there"

That's a mighty big 'IF'.

17. "I think it is more rude to confuse which one is actually running for President. "
Oh, he was running (you know that co-presidency thing)---gave a concession speech after SC. If he hadn't been such a bumbling jerk and liar on the campaign trail, they might have gotten away with it.

30. How about how Obama pushed Kennedy aside?
The first time I saw the endorsement, I couldn't help but notice the grimace and slight push Obama gave Kennedy as he was trying to accept his endorsement. In watching OVER AND OVER, it is SO obvious. I have not really been on DU the past 24 hours, has this been brought up?
Seems to go hand-in-hand with Obama's UNGENTLEMANLY antics last light.
