1. No words needed. She said it all. Right on point. eom

[krkaufman]

17. The spin will hurt Obama; not the mythical snub.

Whoopi is no more well-informed that any other TV news viewer, and is just echoing an *interpretation* of what happened, and interpretation that drives viewership.

2. whoopie for whoopie

she's right

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. Whoopie is right.

Besides, Obama got the opposite reaction that he might have wanted to inspire. People are sympathetic towards Hillary because of that slight.

[Bonobo]

4. Too bad that's not what happened. Whoopi swallowed spin.

Hil was reaching to Kennedy. Obama turning to talk to someone else.

This is completely manufactured.

6. I Don't Think Whoopi Saw All The Pics........

She just got part of the story and let herself be manipulated by the MSM and unfortunately went on to perpetrate the sham. I hope somebody e-mails her the rest of the pics and listens to Obama's explanation for his actions.

8. I never saw just one picture...

I guess I was late coming to the party, but I only saw them displayed in a group of four. I guess she isn't the only one that got suckered.

11. I am pretty stunned at whoopi fine if she objects, but "standing on her throat" that's outrageous..

It may of been uncooth but it wasnt physical violence she is intelleigent she knows she is being emotive. I really thought better of Whoopi. I would have no problem if she just addressed the handshake but comparing it to violence, please. Sorry, but I do think he snubbed her and not surprising after she refused to congratulate him at SC really. She was wearing a bright colour couldn't miss her really.

15. That is an interesting series - Teddy reached out to shake Hillary's hand -

and at that moment - before Teddy and Hillary made contact - Obama was already turned around to talk to McCaskill. Kennedy is leaning way over to make contact.

I really don't care if Obama did "snub" her - but it ticks me off that so much ado is made about nothing, when nothing didn't even happen.

7. yep... see pic

[bonnieS]

19. the photographer was quoted

on MSNBC as saying that Obama turned as Hillary came over. This is not petty or unimportant because every little thing she does is played up and Obama gets portrayed as a gracious, peaceful, loving guy. (Other) people decide how to vote based on these "character" traits. So it matters. I am an Edwards supporter trying to find a new candidate. By definition I am interested in policies rather than "history' or personalities. This will not influence me, but I just had to weigh in.

5. I like Whoopie

9. Claire McCaskill is STILL clapping so I seriously doubt ...

Claire McCaskill is STILL clapping so I seriously doubt she was reaching out her hand to Obama (as he claimed) and he "had" to take it -- unless, of course Claire McCaskill has two right hands.

Obama was desperately trying to avoid having to shake Hillary's hand. He was just using Claire McCaskill as his excuse.

How childish.

[riverwalker]

13. he never said to shake her hand

he said McCaskill asked him a question and he turned to answer her. No one ever said it was to shake her hand.

10. The View ....beauk buk buk buk beauk buk buk buk buk beauk

[femrap]

14. I hope Joy Behar sits on your face.

and extinguishes the satan inside. oink oink

[NavyDavy]

20. do you watch Family Guy? that is what they did they showed the

view ladies and they were all clucking....its been a while but that was funny.....

[Skarbrowe]

12. I don't know if Obama purposely turned away from Hillary BUT

he doesn't appear to be speaking or talking to Claire. I think they came up with the question thing after the fact when the pictures didn't look good.

[Voice for Peace]

16. good grief nt

[JTFrog]

18. Fuck off. That is all. n/t

[FATCATs]

21. Look we are ALL Democrats

This is a family feud for sure, But it will be over soon.

I like Obama, He's my man now that Edwards has left.
I have many women friends who love Hillary, That's their tight, I wont
try and smash her but I do make my points.

We will come together after the primary and defeat our REAL enemy

The Re-Pugs, Not each other.
I’m certain that all of these candidates can and will bring their expertise and passion
to the next Democratic Administration.

Fight it out now brothers and sisters, But for God’s sake come together after the primary.:bounce:
