Can it only be one guy to save the world?

give me a break.

it's been a year, and they haven't called in the debts or dropped the dollar.

keep it up for 3 or 7 more years, and we'll be happy.

Agreed.  I think that's what seems so confusing... (and very easy to interpret that he was hoping for a handshake)....

That said.... Obama just does not seem to have the "balls" to lead our country into any economic negotiations or debates with China, Korea, the East, etc?   We need a new heroic leader here in America .... and Obama is just not that guy.....

It's a popularity contest for Obama.  Look bottomline is you're not going to please everyone nowadays that's for sure.  But Obama wants to be accepted and liked by everyone and every country.  Isn't going to happen.  That's not the way the world works.

This is a bad precedent by these other foreign leaders, however, if this is how Obama is thought of around the world, we are in big trouble!  Got it before it was removed from HuLu!!!
 
Is this an example of improved foreign relations
 
 

  

Watch this 10-second video where a lineup of leading Russians refuse to shake Obama's hand.  Did you see this on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or MSNBC?

This is "hard ball", Soviet Style.  After the third handshake refusal, it becomes obvious.  The facial expression is priceless.  "I guess we're no longer in Chicago."   How in the world did Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer, Keith  Olberman, et al, miss this?  If it had been Bush, think the media would cover it?

Anyone ever seen a Head of State snubbed like this?  Speaks volumes......!!!!!

I'm sorry Grant, but it appears you've been hood-winked. Obama is not being snubbed.
It is all too painfully obvious, you are seeing what you want to see, or what others would have you see.
Obama is not being snubbed, he is infact introducing people to the gentleman behind him.

Well how do you explain the first few seconds?  It's an obvious handshake attempt.  Then there is a blip in the film, like a portion was edited out.  His hand is "going in" not showcasing as one would do if they are introducing someone.  

ALSO LOOK AT THE VERY BEGINNING IN THE BACKGROUND>......................th ey are right up in front of those gold doors next to the two country flags.  There is a blip in the video and then all of a sudden they are at the end of the line.  The very first attempt by Obama is definitely a handshake failure.  The end of the line may very well be him introducing people on the American side.  But the rest of the scene is completely edited out.  

THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Before spouting off at the mouth.  Body language speaks louder than words.

In fact the very first few seconds it's obvious Medvedev is introducing Obama.  Haha you guys are idiots.  Obama was definitely snubbed.

I DID look at the entire clip, ...and it was obviously editted. It does infact appear to me to be an introduction. I came to this conclusion before reading any of the other posts in this thread. The question you have to ask yourself is... if Obama was so "obviously snubbed" on his first attempt at handshaking... why edit that out? Seems to me it would have made a stronger tape. Truth is... he was introducing people. You might want to follow your own advice.

Guess you didn't bother looking at Hugo's link where they show the unedited clip and Obama shaking everybody's hand?

What was that...oh yeah..."THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Before spouting off at the mouth."  Or maybe in this case, READ before...

The 2^nd scenario may be a much better suggestion for him. The first appears to be too far out of his element to accomplish. in order to think, ...one must first have a brain and know how to use it... no?

He was snubbed get over it. He's a lame duck President.  You fools! LOL.

[Hugo Chavez]

guys, silly thing to argue about.  There are to many concrete things worth making an issue of with Obama, this isn't it.  The clip was edited, end of story; it's kinda silly to play it out like you can find something else wrong.

I don't know which fucknig clip you're talking about.  The one hugo posted on snopes is edited and shows Obama at the beginning of the line then at the end.  WTF?

Obama has not accomplished one thing yet.That is unless you count the following...... He has driven the economy close to depression era status, weakened our military, weakened our foriegn relations. Weakened the will of the american business man. And worse of all he is after our liberties. This bunch is nothing more to me than enemies of the state. They are socialist going to rob us blind.
   I am glad to see the polls reflecting Obama's approval rating going to an all time low for any siting president at this stage in a first term. If that does not speak volumes.
    It's not about Bush anymore, this is Obama's shit now.
