MSNBC: "Obama's apparent snub of Clinton in the Senate chamber wasn't missed by many"

[bidenista]

MSNBC is running with last night's incident too:

...Watching last night’s State of the Union, anyone else get the sense that President Bush was just glad to be done? He had the smirk going for about half the speech, and then came the Iraq portion when the smirk did go away and he made what seemed like a very familiar argument about Iraq and foreign policy. The problem for Bush, of course, is just that: The argument is familiar, and it's unclear whether he has anyone listening to him anymore. As for how the presidentials handled the SOTU, a few things: 1) Mitt Romney seemed hesitant to pin the "broken Washington" tag on Bush when given the chance; 2) Obama's apparent snub of Clinton in the Senate chamber wasn't missed by many (just how bitter is this race?)...

2. Wow MSNBC had been running

"Camelot" nonstop yesterday. Maybe this brought them to their senses.

[calimary]

18. That's exactly what I called it. I wrote a column about it.

It was - um - underwhelming to say the least. But kind of what we've come to expect from this useless, scheming, vindictive, arrogant halfwit.

4. So sad..and very telling on Obamas part

'troubling" is the word I'd use...

[Windy]

6. This was intentionally staged by the Clintons. Hill had met with Kennedy earlier in the evening.

She is disgusting. And I will not mince words.

[KennedyGuy]

9. HA! The first "Obama-was-a-Hillary-plant" excuse...

[Kittycat]

12. And clintons. But should we expect that from her, which is why you don't care?

5. Interpreting "non-verbals" is FAR from an *exact* social science. Give it a rest.

:thumbsdown:

7. Some snub...

[karynnj]

15. The other angle cuts out Mccasgill

That looks like the same time - those pictures really should be put together.

8. Well, the media would have been forced to speak about Bush's speech.

No surprise they run with this, even though there is nothing there.

10. Obama's already said he wanted to give Kennedy and Hil a private moment. It's pretty obvious that's

what was going on there. But for some, the spin is more exciting than the truth.

11. But.... but.... but.... the TEE VEE stations weren't supposed to pick this UP!!

It was just a few whiney bloggers....yeah....that's the ticket!!! And no one noticed....yeah...that's the ticket...and it...it...it never HAPPENED!!!!!

[global1]

13. There's A Pattern Here - Anytime Obama Does Good Or Has A Good Day The Hillary Folk.....

and the MSM will find the smallest most inane thing or issue and hammer it to blow it up into a scandal. Where have I seen these tactics before? Oh ya - the last 8 years with *Co.

It is clear whom the corporate media want as their president and it's not Obama.

16. PING!!!!!!!! exactly - Well Stated! nt

14. yep, the good you received from the kennedy endorsement

was not the image folks went to bed with last night. The image is two fold. They saw HRC come onto their screens all smiles and happy and meeting and greeting folks and smiling when she shook Ted's hand and what did they see from you? yep! that tis the negative image of you being an ass. You most likely pouted and you might have even thought you should ahve received a standing ovation as you entered the chamber.......you most likely visualized you walking into that same chamber in 2009 and hearing all the appaulse, but your mind brought you back to reality after you saw it was HRC up there giving the state of the union message....

19. I wonder if Ted gave Obama a blistering talking to. No.

Ted has been positioning himself for weeks to be the one administering the smack down to Bill Clinton for bad behavior. Ted placed himself on the moral high ground.

We now know that the entire episode of Ted supposedly talking tough to Bill, his giving interviews about his "need" for the smack down of Bill with all the righteous indignation he could muster and the Obama campaign pumping out press and comments was all part of a long term strategy.

Ted is a colossal hypocrite just trying to become relevant.
