Obama is a dirty, corrupt politicain.

Hillary, you are doing great!!!!!!! The wisdom of experience is paying off!!!!!

OBAMA IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Another moment of politics where some one blows something out of proportion. Way yo go every one. It doesn't mean anything. He simply turned away because some one else called his name.

I am really disappointed in this type of media reporting! Shame on CNN! Please get your facts straight! You (CNN and other media) are adding to an already touchy situation UNNECESSARILY! You're not playing fair! You are making the situation worse than it actually is! Let the debaters fight their own fight. Who is the reporter on this story?

This morning Obama stated that he was, in fact, talking to someone else when this picture was taken. He said someone asked him a question. Remember, be careful about what the media reports! It's not always true! Don't be so gullible!

He looks like he’s looking down at something or someone. Are we sure that he was not talking to or listening to someone else. As you can see, the bottom of the picture is cut off. We can’t always believe what the media says happened, actually happened!

HILLARY IS NOT BILL!!! PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN VOTING! EVERYONE THINKS SHE IS GOING TO GET IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND BE BILL-WRONG!! REMEMBER SHE VOTED TO GO TO WAR!!!!! ( SHE WILL SAY SHE VOTED FOR DIPLOMACY WHICH IS HER SHADY WAy OF SAYING WAR) I DONT CARE WHAT SHE SAYS SHE VOTED TO INVADE IRAQ AND NOW LOOK WHERE WE ARE AT! DO YOU REALLY WANT SOMEONE LIKE THIS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?- WE SUFFERED WITH BUSH AND SHE SUPPORTED HIM. PEOPLE ARE BLIND

This is so incredibly stupid and poor judgment by CNN to cover something so grade school. This sounds like something my 15 year old niece would be involved in. Ok so he didnt shake her hand - who gives a rats!!! She reached across him to shake everyone's hand around him but now its an issue because he turned to talk to someone else. This is pathetic and CNN should be ashamed for even having an article dedicated to something so childish. She played the race card to the fullest and now that he doesnt shake her hand he snubbed her? Wow that is impressive. This is the type of stuff that makes people not want to vote. Just stupid- CNN please please please cover something a little more newsworthy- and no I'm not talking baout Unfitney Spears!

Can we focus on Peace in the Middle East? Or bringing our troops home. Come on People let's not get off track.

Just had to make this the 2000th post!!!!!
Go Hillary all the way to White House.!!!
Oh, yeah, please pick Edwards as your running mate.
AND THANK YOU FLORIDIANS!!
COME ON SUPER TUESDAY!!

Just had to make this the 2000th post!!!!!
Go Hillary all the way to White House.!!!
Oh, yeah, please pick Edwards as your running mate.
AND THANK YOU FLORIDA!!!

His behavior is questionable given that he prides himself as the uniter who can bring different parties together. He has shown a lack of respect and a snub like attitude that I find unwise and inappropriate for one running for office. To make matters worse, he actively followed President Bush in order to shake his hand and his wife sent someone to ask President Bush for his autograph.

He is portraying an image/dream that we can find appealing but I have to say that days go by, I realize that it's nothing but a facade.

IMPORTANT: In addition to snubbing Hillary, he has also snubbed his grandmother(on his father's side.) His Grandmother still lives in poverty in Kenya and he has not shown any interest in helping her.

The media needs to realize its duty to report the truth in an unbias way in order to give its viewers fair and balanced information on all candidates. No one should get a free ride. Our future depends on getting the right person to lead our country.

Don't get distracted by beautiful words and poetry, use your mind and think about your future and who has the best chance and ability to implement change and be a strong advocate on your behalf. From my point of view Hillary is the best candidate for our future..

IF HILLARY HAD BEEN THE ONE TO TURN AWAY FROM OBAMA EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY WOULD HAVE A HEADLINE SCREAMING:

"HILLARY CLINTON - RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

OBAMA ISN'T EVEN AS CONVINCING A LIAR AS I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT!

FemaleVoter January 29, 2008 11:01 am ET

What a picture. Clinton could be friendly and shake hands with Kennedy, but Obama turned away? He had a perfect chance to be gracious and blew it. I'm for her. She's the one who can be the real uniter.
———————————————————————————————————–

"She's the one who can be the real uniter." Ha! Ha! … yeah ? Then why would even I as a Democrat rather vote for a Republican than for her/them ? It would be sad if the Billaries make it with their dirty campaign - but it will be a feast to see Mrs. "35 years of experience" being shredded by the Republicans

Who cares. It sounds like kindergarten or high school. When they run together as Pres and VP nobody will remember this incident. I don't care how they treat each other, they are both competitive and both want to win this campaign. What will he or she do as President, how will my life be better, how will the country be better. How will young people be able to afford college, buy a house, raise a family? What will they do to make the country better and help families who have a parent working two jobs in order to pay the bills and put food on the table? What will they do to make the economy better and lower the deficit, cut costs, save tax payers money, use tax payer's money wisely? I laugh at the comments about lacking experience, I thought this country was started by inventors, farmers, business men etc. They got more done in five years then Congress has achieved in my life time. They forget who they serve and who pushes the buttons on election day. Let's add 'None of the Above" on the voting machines, get rid of the electoral college and put a recall system in place, let them get paid only when they show up to the capital building, cancel their life time paycheck and benefits. We will really start to see progress.

You can make excuses for Obama all you want, but the bottom line is when you are President of The United States you can't snub anyone like he did Hillary. President Bush and the Speaker of The House don't like each other. But when they are in the same room, they treat each other with respect and shake hands and talk. Thats what a President is suppose to do. If Obama can't even look at her, then what's they say to all of us what he will do in the future as President. I lost all respect for him when he did this. His problem is he can dish it out but he can't take it. when it's thrown his way. SO inmature of him He is no JFK thats for sure.

This is one of the most ignorant media hypes I've seen since Al Sharpton came to Louisiana for the "Jena 6″ trial. Even if he did intentionally snub her - SO? Does it really deserve all this press? She could have made the same attempt to shake his hand as everyone thinks he should have made. The two of them are competing for leadership of the country not playing out a scene on Geral Hospital. Will we next be saying Brady & Manning are childish if they don't sit down for a spot of tea before the Superbowl?

Grow up all of you. Your acting just as childish as you are saying Obama was. There are a lot bigger issues than whether or not he went out of his way to say "hi" to a person who has been attacking his character everyday. You just want to find reasons to go after Obama, and lets be honest here, we all know why that is.

I have no problem with Obama spuning Mrs. Clinton. HOWEVER… don't LIE about it! Are we expected to be that dumb?

"I was turning away because [Sen.] Claire [McCaskill] asked me a question as Sen. [Ted] Kennedy was reaching for her."

Wrong. McCaskill did not say a word to you until you were already knee deep in looking at the back of the room, and Mr. Kennedy was about all out of conversation topics with Mrs. Clinton. Just come out and say you didn't feel like shaking her hand. I'd have much more respect for you.

I don't know if anyone would agree but in one of the pictures Obama looks pretty upset (enraged w/b appropiate) with T. K.?? Maybe he did not get the Memo about "only able to unify with those who I approve" Teddy careful.. I would make sure it's okay with Mr. Unifier before shaking someone hands….LOL!!

Thank you Hillary for caring about and listening to what the PEOPLE think in Florida & Michigan! Even though the delegates were taken from them…..

Go Hillary!

Is this really the issue? We as a country are trying to weigh out the issues that are important to us as citizens of the United States. It should not matter if they are black or white, female or male, more than that who cares if they say hi to each other. I certainly do not. The camara took a picture and because of the way it looks the media blows it up, and the american people has once again taken it out of context. What should matter is how they represent what we want for our country. A co-worker told me that she hates politics, and I did not understand why someone would not take an interest in their own country. Now I do. I was going to vote, and have always encouraged my children to do so. This has changed my mind. Instead of focusing on what is really important we are more concerned about who shakes who's hand. We had 8 years of hell, and it looks like we will have at least 4 more no matter who is president. Thanks CNN for another vital, important, and fulfilling story. If this is what our future reporters are being taught, they are poor excuse for teachers.

Obama acted like a childish baby. and not a good stateman at all.
And what about the "change" he keeps spouting??? He acted like a spiteful adolescent kid.
Yesh, that's who you want running this country. Not!!!!
He and his fortune cookie message. """Change""" Give me a break.
A pictures means a thousand words.

HILLARY JUST TOOK FLORIDA BY A LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE VOTES WILL BE COUNTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH, SNAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

HERE ARE THE ABSOLUTE FACTS… I WAS THERE ON THE FLOOR LAST EVENING AND I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES AS OBAMA DELIBERATELY TURNED AWAY FROM SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON WHEN SHE POLITELY GREETED SENATOR KENNEDY AND WAS ABOUT TO OFFER HER GREETINGS TO SENATOR OBAMA.

I DISCUSSED THIS WITH MY COLLEAGUES WHO ALSO NOTICED IT AS WE WERE PURPOSELY WATCHING SENATOR CLINTON'S MOVEMENTS AS SHE ENTERED THE ROOM TO SEE IF WHETHER OR NOT SHE WOULD SIT CLOSELY TO SENATOR OBAMA.

LATER, ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO SAW THE OBAMA SNUB AGAINST CLINTON PHONED ONE OF THE MAJOR NEWS CABLE NETWORKS AND REPORTED WHAT HE SAW, AFTER WHICH TIME THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED ON THE AIR AND WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY AT LEAST ONE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE INCIDENT.

DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS, BUT I SAW THE SNUB PERSONALLY, AS DID MANY OTHERS. THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS REPEATEDLY DENIED THIS INCIDENT, AND WENT SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT HE WAS DISTRACTED BY A QUESTION FROM ANOTHER SENATOR STANDING BESIDE HIM, IS A COMPLETE FALSEHOOD.

If you don't believe this kind of stuff is important, just look at all the folks on this page who have said, "Thanks for changing my mind, I'm voting for Hillary now."

Call it petty, call it frivolous, but this is a very close race. Any bit of information we get about the character of our candidates matters.

For what it's worth, there's no way this was just an "awkward moment." Obama couldn't have NOT seen his opponent coming. I don't know what he thinks about her as a person but chances are he felt sorry for her losing the Kennedy endorsement and/or didn't want to look like he was gloating. Yet another sign of his immaturity.

So an akward moment between politicians is a "revelation" for the supporters of Ms. Clinton. This is so staggeringly naive and frankly stupid that I truly fear for my country.

Its sad to see that vehement hatred so permeates our society.

BO did not tell the truth about this issue and neither did the female senator that was also on the airplane when he was interviewed regarding this. He said that the senator had asked him something and he was responding, if you look at the video her eyes are closed and she is clapping her hands as he turns to her away from Senator Clinton. So you were caught at a bad moment own it, don't start lying to the American people already. He also stated in the video that the democratic primary in Florida is a "beauty contestant, I wonder if that is the same as a "fairy tale" for the people in Florida. I am not against BO but he should be more manly and honest about his actions.

Well, here my take on it all. If I were him I would shook her hands and here is why: even when you dislike your opponent, you got to show them that you are not evading them. My mama said never ever give your enemy your back. It will be easier for him/ her to take your by surprise.

Obama is not what he say he is…….

While I am not a Hillary supporter, I have to say Barack Obama behaved very badly last night. We have had 7 years of a destructive, petulant, self-centered child in the White House, do we really want another? I am a supporter of the forgotten candidate, John Edwards, however, should Hillary get the nomination, I will support her. On the other hand, should it be Obama, I will definitely have to think about it.

Can anyone say "timeout"?After posting on this page faithfully for four months,I must say this is nuts.But cool!!!If this is what it takes to bring the electorate,then so be it.When Biden,Richardson and Dodd were running,this page had tepid response.Kudos to CNN for recognizing a moment.Each side will play it to it's advantage,but the truth is somewhere in between.Remember Hsu?Remember Rezco?This may be the first election decided by the Vice-Presidential choice ever.Way to go CNN!!!!!!!!!!Let the comments fly!Just remember,your vote may choose a President!

YEAH HE SNUBBED HER AND?

This is the example of the candidate for change in Washington politics? If the situation were reversed, you know that the race baiters in the Obama campaign would have called Hillary's back turning as racist. Obama's action was pathetic, sexist, and dumb! All of which do not present qualities in a President that I would vote for.

CONGRATULATONS OBAMA! Your actions are making everyone UNITE behind Hillary! Too bad the words you gave today don't match up with your actions yesterday. Now who's playing fast and loose with the truth Barak? Thanks for helping make my decision for 2008!

GO HILLARY 2008!

Boxers shake hands go to their corners then come out swinging. It's called respect. Obama supporters are having a hard time with this one!!

Just one more act of immaturity.
Obama can't be trusted. Anyone who can't look someone in the eye and looks down while answering a question is a complete lier in my book.
Also, you really want a President whos own spouse didn't want him to run. What a diplomate for our county Obama's Wife will make.
Go Hillary

Barack Obama truly showed his colours yesterday. I'm African American and do remember the good deeds the Clinton's did for the minority groups (Latinos and African Americans), a proven track that no other candidate can measure up to.

Hillary took Barack to school.

Longbench, you seem to be rather judgemental, yourself. Are you trying to be a positive example?

p.s. should have said Thursday night.
States don't make the decision. It's delegates. And thats another convoluted topic.

Wanna know how much character and integrity obama has? go to:
sommervillenews.typepad.com and look in the March 2007 archives until find obama.

That is if CNN doesn't block this - since they are pro-obama. Had it been Clinton doing the "snubbing" - it would've been headlines news and all the Hillary bashing we've been allowed.

Shame on you CNN!

i don't want a president who can grow while he is in the presidency….i want a person who is "ready" to take on the likes of the enemies of the U.S. obama is not that person. thin skinned, petulant, easily irritated is what i see. go hillary! keep on thumping him and watch him unravel…i am waiting to see it.

Beth January 29, 2008 6:23 pm ET

I think the biggest point of all this it shows Hillarys true character going to shake Tedd Kennedys hand

I agree Hillary has alot of character shaking the hand of the man that sold her out. That is what I admire the most of Hillary. Clinton 08

Why doesn't the press just admit that they hate Hillary and LOVE obama. She has had nothing but bad press and he has had nothing but good press from CNN. I think obama could have been at least cordial to a fellow candidate. How much would it have taken for him to at least look and smile at her. He didn't have to TOUCH her.
This shows the obama that I always knew was there. I am so disappointed that CNN has chosen to show it's bias and back obama. It has been very obvious from the beginning of this campaign that they want obama to be the candidate. I guess because they are all republican and they know the republicans can beat him and can't beat Senator Clinton. I'm sure referee's have preferences in a game but they can't show bias and I am sure reporters have preferences also but they sure shouldn't show it and CNN can't seem to help itself. I thing they need to go back to school and learn that the media is not suppose to show bais. It looks like CNN would have someone reading the blogs on their own website and see how disgusted the viewers are with this bias. Most all blogs are condemning CNN for their unfair practices. Wake up CNN or you might lose a lot of viewers.

Sen. Clinton made an unwarranted remark with regards to drug use of the part of Sen. Obama at their last debate. Which brought a lot of negative chatter from the audience. They (the audience) knew instinctivly what a low handed remake that was. It was a desparate attempt by Sen. Clinton to take a hurtful stab at Sen. Obama. So, the point being, she is as vindictive as the next guy…er, I mean candidate. Barak Obama for President!

many of you should start acting like an educated citizenry rather than gossip-mongering and name-calling. ridiculous. this is what american politics is really about, I see.

Still funny how Obama supporters don't want to talk about this non-issue, but can't stop on any other…

wow, i am overly surprised at the spin that has been put on such an issue that doesn't really matter. Don't we have real issues to debate and respectfully disagree on? i think that we could afford to divert our attention towards something other than who supposedly didn't talk to who, and why…. sounds like something that my children would come home with from the local highschool…

You know its the little things like this that show who you really are, not the bloated speeches he's so good at giving. Isn't he the one talking about how he's the candidate of "change" and how it's not going to be the same old Washington politics as usual? He's the one that's going to bring people together, let's put it another way, "he's the uniter not the divider", and you know where you've heard that before. He's done this before at the end of one of the (Democ) past debates. Shortly after he first got into this race, it was said that he is "thin skinned", I think that this kind of thing is just a peak at who he really is and so one need only guess at how is would react, if he gets the nomination,

Yeah, just like I've always said, Obama is out of his league. He looks more like a high school principal than a political figure. He needs a lot more time to gain a lot more experience!!

WHY DID HILLARY SKIP OBAMA TO REACH OVER AND SHAKE THE HAND OF A THIRD PERSON? WHO IS RUDE HERE? OBVIOUSLY IT'S HILLARY. SHE COULD START BY REACHING OUT TO OBAMA FIRST BEFORE SHE GOES TO THE NEXT PERSON. OBAMA IS A GENTLEMAN AND HE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Don't get it.

MSNBC and CNN hosts talked for days after New Hampshire about Hillary and if her crying changed the vote as a win for for her.

Are they now preparing the same talk for after tonight when Obama gets beat badly in Florida and replay the same thing after Super Tuesday on Feb 5th about the "photo" that changed the campaign?

Obama shows is true maturity and how good he will be to unify the country.
If he was elected, how would he deal with Putine if they were in disagreement…
Great image of an American president!

As Oprah says "When someone shows you who they are, believe them", I think we have seen that Obama lacks the maturity to lead the most powerful nation on Earth.

Actually, check Sneator Obama's victory acceptance speeches. The ones that I noted were his Iowa speech, his SC speech and his comments when the teacher's union lost in the Nevada Court System. He took pot-shots at the losing side each time. Quite a contrast to the way Senator Clinon reacted for her victories.

Can't seem to accept any wins with graciousness. Don't see how one can talk about hope, dreams, etc., and unite people if one keeps grudges.

Wow, dont you all have anything better to report on? This is ridiculous, reminiscent of the he-said she-said immaturities of high school. Grow up everyone.

HRC and her supporters will PAY a big price on Super Tuesday for making this none issue an iSSUE, instead of dealing with the problems facing this nation, HRC supporters and campaign staffers who post on this BLOG seem to think Americans are stupid or idiots! You will find out otherwise and the hard way on Feb 5th, obama 08!

Hillary is stronger than Barak.

I think CNN and everyone is attempting to create the news as opposed to report it. Senators Obama and Clinton have had some sharp exchanges, but have always been completely civil with each other during the entire length of this long, long campaign. But even if not, I question CNN's news credentials by focusing on trival speculation at the expense of reporting worthy news.

Naturally after a long-time ally like Senator Ted Kennedy came out with a splashy endorsement for Barack Obama yesterday, it would not have been appropriate for Barack to have stayed there and overheard their conversation. Seems like he tried to do the polite and decent thing by turning away and let them talk privately.

Regarding CNN, there is enough news of substance to report on without stooping to populist conjecture. I would encourage CNN to focus on reporting the news professionally and stop trying to compete with People Magazine and the tabloid press.

Turning his back on his subordinates……….. a look at things to come for americans voting for him

As Oprah says "When someone shows you who they are, listen!"… are you listening, America? Obama lacks the maturity necessary to lead the most powerful country on the planet.

Fred, yes Hillary voted YES. We know. However, her vote has been distorted. Her vote was to give the President authority to pursue military action if all else failed and it was proven that their were WMD's. This was not Yes, go blow them up vote. Bush and his cronies manipulated the facts,the congress and the American people. Its my memory that close to 90% of the public supported the invasion based on the information we were given by our President. Hillary did not draw up the battle plan. The President botched this, lied to us all. How dare people now, including Obama, be so hypocritical. Obama had no knowledge of what was going on. She has admitted this was wrong. However, we must put the blame where it belongs, George Bush.

I am so tired about hearing about this.

Oh Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred. Hate to burst your bubble-but Redko and Iraq had relations in bed with money. And Redko was best friends with Obama. Yep, I would have voted no to the war, too.

Many of u are making more of this than there was.

Obama did nothing here to snub her….. To think it proves that you are imature and pretty much a nut.

And of Hillarys experience…what experience.
Her time as 1stlday doesnt count…and as a congressperson its not enough to matter.

Besided with her early day comments about health care she should never ever become president.

Oh, and about Mr BJ hubby .

SHe knew full well her husband was fooling around for decades.
To deny that proves that she doesnt have the capability to be president.

kathleen,

boloney is spelled B.O.L.O.G.N.A. I do agree with you, however. What's that? I'm switching to MSNBC. HAHA..

Like it or not, this is newsworthy. The President of the US is the person who represents America as a whole. I think that person should have a basic knowledge of how to show courtesies to those whom we may not agree with, but would like to maintain a civil relationship with. If Obama slighted a foreign leader, it would be much bigger news than this. I’m confident that Hillary and Ted Kennedy don’t like each other, and yet both managed an adult handshake and a polite smile.

People can you think for one minute. Obama knows that every body in that room and every body in America were wating for this encounter. If he were a smart person he were the one looking for Clinton to shake her hand. He did the most stupid and dumb thing in politics. I would like to see him with the Syrian president o worse with Hugo Chavez.
Americans I' m from Cuba and I'm telling you Clinton is no the Devil you guys haven't met the devil yet. that role is for Fidel castro and Hugo Chavez. You should be proud of the freedom that you have and elected a president with experience to manage the internationals issues.

For those of you saying this is not news, you are wrong. Its news because the Obama campaign has tried to lift Barack Obama up to a God-like status. He is the one who will bring us all together we are told. He will work across party lines. He is a fresh face for Washington. Well, this is one example that shows he is only a politician. Last night, he set beside the old democratic establishment and when the Dems all sit down, while republicans stood up, it shows that he will be no differant. He is playing party politics. Do you think Kennedy will actually let Obama change Washington?

This is news because Obama himself has elevated himself to a position that no poltician can hold. This is news because its time we know more about this man that we follow blindly. Ask yourself is this would not be a huge story if Hillary would have been the one to look away. Whats worse is that Obama has lied now about what happened. That is news. That is the last thing we need in DC. Bush was enough for a lifetime. No one complained last week when Bill Clinton was all over the news for a similar non-important story. The differance, this story has some truth behind it. Obama, intentionally, or not, snubbed Hillary Clinton. He has told us that he is better than that. That is the news story.

I think the biggest point of all this it shows Hillarys true character going to shake Tedd Kennedys hand…

Maybe, Obama will say "that's not what I meant"??? Spin what you want. This picture showed the true you. Let's hope that it's not too late for America to see the true Obama. He can dish out, but, he can't take the heat. This is the kind of President only the Republican will do. Democrats and Independent, lets vote for the Democrat to be President. And that is Madame President Clinton.

Finally someone who is REAL - sick of the fake stuff… fake smile…

I am surprise she did not send Bill instead to the state of union while she campaign in Florida.

kudo - she should get some votes from this, like the fake tears after OH

Where is Al Sharpton in all of this?!?!

This is not an issue folks….Will one of Hillary's supporters answer this question for me. WITH ALL OF HER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AT THE TIME, DID HILLARY VOTE "YES" FOR THE IRAQ WAR? SHE KNOWS NOW IN HINDSIGHT IT WAS NOT THE CORRECT THING TO DO. WELL PEOPLE WE HAVE ONE CANDIDATE THAT GOT IT CORRECT AND DOES NOT HAVE TO SAY IN HINDSIGHT…..HE TOOK A STAND AND VOTED "NO" WHEN IT COUNTED. LET'S VOTE FOR SOMEONE THAT GET'S THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THE NEXT PRESIDENT SHOULD BE SENATOR BARACK OBAMA……..

Whats a big deal about it ? I wouldn't act differently in that situation. I do think Hillary did a great job of shaking hands with Ted Kennedy even though he endorsed Barak with such a fan fare a day before. Way to go Hillary ………….Hillary 08

This is so absurd. Why is this even news?

I ditto with Billy, shame on you, CNN.. This cannot be a news!!! Stop teh crap!!!

Mr Obama, inmature!

He wont stand up to Clinton but he will meet with leaders of unstable countries.

The Democrats will lose in November, regardless of who is the nominee. The American people are fed up with being used by the liberal elite. This is not the liberal elite's private kingdom. This country belongs to all of the people and we are taking it back in November by electing Mike Huckabee and like-minded Congressmen and women who support the FairTax.

Mr. Obama has lost my vote today. I have been looking for signs of true consistant maturity and leadership qualities to reinforce my decision to vote fo rthe maverick of change. What I saw today was childisness and cowardice. Not presidential at all.

CNN is the Jerry Springer of news networks. They are hoping for a fight.

Mr. Obama has lost my vote. I have been looking for signs of maturity and leadership to re-inforce my decision to vote for the maverick of change. Today I saw childishness and cowardice. Not so presidential at all.

This is ridiculous. So petty, so juvenile. You can do a better job than this, CNN!

The people are speaking
obama is the clear choice
the past versus the future!

I would have come to expect it "i did not mean to" - Obama.

He always "does not mean to" or "did not mean it like that". We need a new excuse.

Hillary a mature leader!

HILLARY 2008!

CNN let the "best political team of TV" do what they do best. Stop writing soap operas. This is not news.

ARRRHHH! R we in grade school. And we wonder why some citizens don't vote. I am going to write Lou Dobbs in for our next Pres.

They waved hello to each other sources (unbiased) say. Why don't all you people that react to a framed picture and over react, just remove your selves from the political process. You have shown to the world an inability to judge anything fairly and intelligently. Therefore, in my mind, the world would be a better place if you didn't vote.

I fail to see the big deal. Hillary didn't come over to speak to Obama. She was talking to someone else, and then people around Obama reached out to talk to her. It doesn't seem like she went out of her way to talk to him either.

This is just another mole hill getting turned into a mountain while real issues are ignored.

For all those who say that because Hillary's treatment of Obama has been so mean and nasty that they too would have turned their back and not shook her hand, you are not running for President. We might be excused for acting like petulant children but presidential decorum demands that our leaders rise above and reach out. You can also look at the photo and make up your own story about what was going on, but my understanding is that at least five journalist witnessed what was going on and all interpreted it the same way–she was snubbed and disrespected. Still deciding who I will vote for but this incident along with "you're likable enough" definitely is something I will look at as well as some of Hillary's misleading statements.

JUST SAY NO TO OBAMA
DUMP HIM TO KEENYA
WE'LL GIVE HIM ONE WAY TICKET
SORRY NO DEMOCRATIC TICKET

This is the last time I will ever post on the CNN site again. Talk about ridiculous, petty journalism.

If people allow an image of some silly millisecond in time and one person's slant on the situation to form their voting decision and opinion of a presidential candidate, we have even more serious problems in this country than I had imagined.

If you were there or had seen the entire incident on video, you may have a valid opinion. Does it really matter that much anyway?

CNN just lost my respect and interest. Wonder how long this will hang in the otherworld of moderation…

Bob;

On the money. When an article like this gets so much attention we in America deserve the worst of the worst as our leaders ala Bush-clinton-Bush.

Political literacy in this country is beyond laughable - but what should we expect from a nation that spends more time focused on Britney's break down, Anna Nicole Smiths death and other trivia than it does on real issues like the amount of needless deaths from baseless wars.

An education system that sees most children above grade 4 languishing compared to other countries or the fact that
since 1949 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $83.205 billion. The interest costs borne by U.S. tax payers on behalf of Israel are $49.937 billion, thus making the total amount of aid given to Israel since 1949 $133.132 billion. - disgusting, we deserve the results of what we sow and don't stand up against.

CNN cut the baloney and just report the news. The media can make gold from horse manure. Just put your "best political team on TIV" to work doing what they do best.

OMG……you women should stop crying!!! Geez! HRC was endorsed by Maxine Waters today…so you all can stop crying about how much Obama won SC because of the "black vote" (which is such an incredibly naive thing to believe anyway)……

I am laughing at all the HRC supporters hanging onto the thin thread of hope (irony that) that HRC will somehow "crush" Obama come Feb 5th……since none of you is the least bit politically savvy….let me "break it down" for you poor saps….

Feb 5th will come and go…HRC will probably garner the majority of votes but the DELEGATES will be split 3 ways between HRC, Obama and Edwards….Edwards doesn't have a chance but you are crazy if you think he's going to drop out! EDWARDS IS GOING TO DELIVER HIS DELEGATES TO OBAMA IN EXCHANGE FOR EITHER A VICE PRESIDENCY OR PLATFORM COMMITMENT. He'll blackmail Obama into actively pursing one of Edwards' platform agendas…..

Ted Kennedy just crowned Obama King…….you all should just sit back and enjoy the ride….!

LOL….

Obama has a challenger in Hillary and he cant even face up to her and shake her hand…hmmm….will he turn his back on other challenges and problems he has…i think that was a rude and callous way for Obama to behave. He should have been gracious and should have shaken her hand and given that 1000 watt bipartisan smile of his and got her to sit next to him….isnt that what he says he will accomplish!

This is ridiculous. I would love to know how many of you self righteous hypocrites have ever had a picture taken and not be aware of what is going on around you. Has this campaign turned into the National Enquirer where photos are taken and lies are written. This makes me sick. How low we stoop and how stupid we can be. Stop this nonsense and let's grow up.

Since Hillary has had to experience and suffer from the over-exaggerated statements made by Bill Clinton over the last week (promted primarily by the press), it's only fair that Barrack get the same treatment. Call it "tit for tat" if necessary.

Unfortunately our news media has misjudged this situation as indicated by Mr. Obama this morning. Foks lets be honest if someone lied about you continuously, misrepresented you record, and intentionally played the race card on you to pull support awar from you How would you feel. I believe Mr. Obama, but……. I would have a hard time being nice after both husband and wife attacked me unduly. Come on folks………

Enough is enough, so what??

Like I said-I don't care about the picture. I am just scared if Obama wins, especially after reading his autobiography-his looking for his identity. He shows an obvious distaste for any white who holds power(his father and grandfather were civil servants to the white man). The only time he acknowledges white power is when his hand is out.
If Hillary were just for the female gender, I would feel the same. I would rather vote Republican, then vote for Obama, who renounced his white heritage and stood by his black, even though his father deserted him and his mother, to marry a third wife.
The Kennedy's do not influence me-any "clanship" went with John and Bobby.

Let's face it-all of them have skeletons in their closets. Politics is all about money. But I want experience and someone with a backbone, as my President. And I see that in Hillary-she is scared of no one.

Okay readers, I saw the entire event on my new HDTV and could see all the nuances, facial expressions, and all. Not one to support Hillary Clinton, nor Obama for that matter, I can say in all candor that it was a snub by Obama when Kennedy and Hillary shook hands. Obama did exactly what the reporter relayed - as soon as he saw them moving toward one another he looked away to the back of the room. It's the facts and my new HDTV wouldn't lie.

On another note, Obama, whatever you do, please don't get in a car with Teddy driving. His past performance is a predictor of his future performance if you get my drift.

See ya,
Dr. C

When I read this article it dissapoints me. This is the man that many want to be our President and represent our country? How are we supposed to create peace in other countries if we can not create peace in our own homeland?

This reminds me of high school- who turned what direction in the hall…who is speaking to whom………………
As long as the American public pays attention to these manipulated non-stories, we ain't gonna git to the real stuff…………….too bad………….

Obama is GOD. All u mere mortals quiver at his approach. He does not need to show this stupid woman respect. She's just a girl, but he is our savior. Ted Kennedy whose dignity and grace have no bounds, has annoited him and bathed him in the righteous path. Barak will command us and bring about change. Just listen to the beautiful words he says. And to be fair, she was ill tempered and mean to him in the debates. She is a mean, cold, evil women. He does not need to lower himself to shake her hand, he is a GOD! The Republicans will not attack him as nastily as she has, they will respect and fear him. Anyone who questions Obama is a racist as best and a evil demon at worse. All praise Hussien Obama. He can teach us so many things.

Who cares about Kennedy? He supported the loser Kerry. And now is supporting the soon to be loser nominee Borat Obama.

What can be said, i think Mr Obama is alittle hurt by the Clintons false or ingenuine posturing and acusations of his past and no longer wants her friendship. This is what politics does to people. Mr Obama has this country at heart he must because you got to be insane to give your precious time on this earth to a setup that is steaped in unforgiven history .

Obama is turning a lot of heads preaching change. What change???? He never goes beyond that. At least we all know where Hillary stands. I just don't see Obama doing anything at all but create confusion. I am very disappointed of my Senator Claire McCaskill throwing her support to Obama. Believe me, I will remember that at her reelection time. Besides, she isn't dointg anything anyway. She was another one that preached change and is not doing a thing.

Forget who subbed who. Instead, both candidates missed a critically important messaging opportunity. Hillary and Obama should have agreed in advance to sit together. This would have sent the most powerful signal of all: Regardless of our differences, we are united when it comes to solving the important issues that the country faces.

The ALL Boy's Club otherwise known as the ESTABLISHMENT, yea you know who I am talking about, Kerry, Daschle, Leahy, and now Kennedy. The very men that Obama was campaigning against. I guess one will say or do anything to become President. You do not get those four with out giving something up. Sure they do not want to work for any women either.

Senator Clinton my first Choice, Senator McCain my second. Sorry Obama, men like the ones above make me want to change parties. Not issue's but parties. I really wish our party was not becoming as divided as it has become. I thought better of you then to go down this road. DESPERATION.

Hey AL Sharpton "SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH" you are a very racist person and the world knows it. Yes black people too can be racist.

I dunno why my comments were misposted up the top but I think Obama was in the wrong. So petty!

i like how CNN cropped out the female senator Obama was talking to just to stir up some dirt.

I'd bet 90% of those who commented here do not know enough about Clinton's or Obama's healthcare or economic or energy policy positions. Trivia like this is juicy precisely because it has no substance and it does not take much intelligence or effort to have an opinion on it. Got to love the American electorate.

not only does CNN distract voters with this sort of gossip, CNN also managed to waste Senator Obama's precious time by forcing him to react to this rubbish.
CNN, good job in dumbing down America. your masters will richly reward you.

Wow, its amazing that there are so many comments on this trival matter — HRC in one of her speeches said she avoided Fidel Castro (purposely) so what does that say about a public figure running for the presidency. No one knows what really happen so I suggest that everyone calm down and think about real issues and how we can work together to change these issues. This is not about HRC or about OB - there is a bigger picture and that is the stability of the United States of America - if you continue to act like children the rest of the world will not respect you. No one is perfect - I believe OB said that himself. Its amazing how people can judge you.

So Americans grow up and work together to make your country stronger. Take a stand for CHANGE. You've have been blessed with a great opportunity to overcome so many obstacles so please use it wisely.

Me being a democrat makes me think hard on what america thinks is more important. If Hillary was so bad why is she where shes at. Yeah Obama got three Kennedys and Hillary got two Kennedys. So what Ted is a joke that kisses John Kerrys sorry butt. Ted has no direction and has to listen to John, and John has no direction without listening to his wealthy wife.

it would be nice if after the big endorsement yeserday..Kennedy and Clinton
could have show civility towards each other..that was the issue..not
what Obama was doing…Kennedy endorsed the man..I think
Senator Clinton wanted to let him know all's fair in politics.

HRC grow up and return all the millions you got from NORMAN HSU, and explain your relationship with him, im still fuzzy on that!

God you ugly women - stop saying smack about Clinton apperance. I'd like to see your saggy old faces the ones that say this crap. Women that write things about her apperance are the ones that probably have nothing to look forward to in life.

People, get lives… people are dying over seas… the economy is spiraling out of control… our kids and failing in school and you are arguing over whether Obama should have shaken Hillary's hand or whether he was nice to her? Please! Maybe this is why the rest of the world think we are a bunch of morons!

Quite frankly Hillary doesn't need Obama anyway just the way America can do without him!

These two candidates are not running for MIddle School Student Council for gods sake!
Can we get REAL for a moment, a minute, an hour, gee possibly for a day??? Is this the biggest news to come out of this whole evening?
He's immature…
she's an attention getter….
I hate her…
I hate him!!
Good god people….grow up! It is so frustrating that with all the significant issues REAL AMERICANS are dealing with…this gets the head lines??
This kind of coverage is like reading about "britney Spears" newest outing to a gas station, what she was wearing, and/or if she had underwear on??????
I DON'T CARE!!!
Does anyone know where we can get "grown up" articles, written by an unbiased reporter who investigates a REAL ISSUE, with a slight hint of intelligence about….ohhh….let's say "other" things that happened yesterday?? OUR CRUMBLING ECONOMY, MORE LOST JOBS, 5 MORE U.S. SOLDIERS KILLED….YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, maybe even report "What" our President said last night….well that wouldn't be intelligent…but it would be far better than feeling like I'm running down the hall at Middle School….trying to find a way out!!!!!!
Unbelievable!

Now Hillary, dear this just isn't your best look.

I mean when you bug your eyes out like that and put that big ole fake looking smile on your face…well dear, don't want to hurt your feelings, but it just doesn't look genuine. No…no…I would say it just looks down right plastic….well even down right scarey.

Yep, that look would just make a small child run crying, you know what I mean? Now let's work on that game face whadda ya say?

Obama - grow up - admit you took money from the slum lord.

hey speaking of snubs, didnt HRC smob us all when after President Bush speech, she left without talking to CNN, without reason, or notice? How rude, left us hanging, yet the one senator obama, who most naive people on this site are bashing, took the time to give us his thoughts on the speech, Actions do speak louder, obama 08! for what matters!

i am a staunch Obama supporter. its obvious that Obama was totally uncomfortable in that situation where his endorser was reaching out to his rival.

he just suffered from the fact that his whole body reacted with dislike for Clinton. afterall she hasnt been honest about his record and belittled his win in SC. maybe people like clinton can smile and act happy in the midst of people who have pulled her name through the mud.

uniting the country has nothing to do with shaking hands with hillary. infact it has all to do with rejecting people like hillary from the public sphere.

O my goodness, the Republicans are scared, they have flood all THREADS/BLOGS concerning Obama.

Beware all Obama supporters, they are NOT Hillary supporters, they are republicans.

What's up Borack buddy? Can't stand her guts?

You guys are really reading too much into things!!! Of course there is tension from both sides. It is just who can handle it. If you can't handle it now then wait until you become President. But, the fact that Obama is of mix race I think he should show more that he is for every American because if a white American thinks that you are mainly for African Americans, whether you are qualified or not they will not vote for you. They will come out to the polls trailer park and all. That is why Bush won a second term and Kerry lost. Obama need to show he is for everyone, black, white, and hispanic. As an African American myself I am looking for the candidate that will atleast try to mend the division that Americans have fell into through the Bush years. It's almost like America went back to the sixties. Thinking racial segregation is the answer. Well guess what America is like a Gumbo. You have a variety of flavors( chicken, seafood, beef ect….) in it. That is what make it a unique dish. Also it is time for Hillary to tell Bill to shut up. He is hurting her more and more. It's almost as if he doesn't want her to win, atleast not the African American votes anymore. Maybe he is just tired.

Rohrschach…that is all it is. As you read the comments, I learn more about the commentors than what actually occurred. My interpretation: The Clinton's tried to derail Obama's campaign last week. Politics is about raw power that confounds the artificial demeanor that we expect from politicians. Would you really expect any politician who has been savaged by another' s surrogates to not want to automatically reach out to a hand they may be extended in a clearly staged, artificial way?

Voters would be better served if CNN used it's journalistic expertise to delve further into the issues that differentiate the candidates. As one commentor said….this picture is worthy of People magazine.

LOL…. You got to be kidding me- read on….

"January 28, 2008 11:51 pm ET

This is so priceless!!!!!!! It is already all over the internet. President Pookie Pouty Face. He looks so Presidential when he throws a tantrum! '

Does this poster know you must be over twelve to blog?
Grow up.

It's a two way street. Why didn't Hilary acknowledge him?? She was clearly looking his way. Don't just blame Obama for not acknowledging her when she could have done the same thing.

Barack Obama is not nice.

You people are completely nuts. If you can't see that this is a prime example of the media making something out of nothing, then you need to get your head examined. Instead of leaving comments on here, maybe you'd be happier following the candidates around and waiting for one of them to sneeze as they come out of the bathroom. That has to mean something, right?

Are you really serious? With all the events happening in and around the the world today the only thing CNN can come up with is this nonsense about whether or not Obama snubbed Clinton. This is ridiculous! With all the slurs and hurtful things she and her husband has thrown at him in recent days, so what if he doesn't acknowledge her at the moment CNN thinks he should. There has to be something else to talk about. So much for "CNN, the most trusted name in news".

graham take a pill for the nonsense you are feeding here. Bottom line is Obama talks and walks differently. Sooner you understand that better it is.

Battle tested?

Ok, Anti-Obama people want to know why he keeps calling for change and what change really means. It's exactly the mentality that candidates for President have to be battle tested in order to win. Obama is stating that you do not have to attack other candidates using distortions and you do not have to tear the other party down in order to win an election. It's a fundamental change in the way we see politics and that is what is inspiring countless people around the nation. I hope I'm right in the notion that young people will carry this nomination and when it happens and Barack Obama becomes our president, I hope that we all learn from our dated views and mistakes…

John Edwards is looking better all the time to me. Just wish that folks would give him a chance.

Hillary Clinton's supporters and everyone who enjoys making a big deal out of nothing - chill down and be patient - see CNN democratic debate in CA on Jan 31 - Barack Obama will shake her hand as he always does at the debates - don't worry about it - go to her blog (http://www.hillaryclinton.com/blog/) for a boost of some cheerful and happy thoughts :).

People who've made their decision to vote for Hillary based on this picture - I'm sure she'll be happy to have a support from serious and thoughtful people like you ;).

The Obama supporters are saying that this is not news and bashing CNN for reporting what they saw. I thnk that if it had been Hillary who snubbed Obama, he and all of the media would would have been out to get Hillary. It's about time that the media gives Obama the same coverage.

Too bad for Obama, the coverage uncovered the truth about Obama. This is very important news because Obama is running on this very important premisse, which is to to unite people. It is CNN's responsibility to report what they saw, which is that Obama is not practicing what he preaches. We deserve to know the truth and to know that the person who we are electing as our president will be able to work with all, including those he does not like. Our country cannot afford another Bush.

Hillary has the experience , the knowledge, the diplomacy , the strength and the confidence to work with all including those who may not like her. We have lots of foreigh enemies and we a strong president who will extend a hand and start a conversation, despite how unconfortable the situation may be.

Hillary is my only choice.

Boston, MA

Hillary fans, "Me thinks thou doth protest too much" to quote Will Shakesphere. Hillary was approach Ted Kennedy not Obama and given Kennedy's endorsement, most likely Obama didn't want to get caught up in a potentially heated situation. I don't blame him.

Is this woman reporting a story or writing an editorial? I thought it was supposed to be the former but it looks more like the latter and therefore should be clearly labeled as such.

Anybody every consider that most of you may be wrong? And that maybe there was no ill intentions from either Clinton or Obama? I know some of you will have us believe that you have a crystal ball that told you what both Clinton and Obama's true intentions were.

hey MICHAEL: Grow up! he turned over to speak to a senator and he had exchanged a friendly wave with HRC prior, haha hrc supporters desperate to tear obama down! He is the right man, for the right job, now!

Barack is a child and this is childish behavior.

–CNN's Jessica Yellin

Shame on you. This must have been your weekly "trash" quota-

I am really starting to lose respect for Obama, too. He willbe another bush and Ted.Kennedy will be another Cheney.

Well, now we know how the American people are being hoodwinked by Obama in the so called politics of hope. If can't talk to your fellow Demcrat how then do yiu claim you will talk to Republicans. The cnn reporter made it clear that Obama turned away as soon he saw Hillary.

Hillary doesn't have grace. She's a devious manipulator and liar.

AND A COLLECTIVE HUSH FELL OVER THE NATION AS HIS TRUE CHARACTER WAS REVEALED.

Is this is the Unity he plans?

But he didn't mean to snub her. And the different spin stories coming from his camp prove it.

First, he was giving Kennedy and Clinton a moment to themselves. Then, it was just an accidental gaze away at that exact moment. Then, he was answering a question from McCaskill.

I'm sure he didn't mean to snub her, after all "she's likeable enough."

Media - please give us a break. Print something worthwhile.

Boy what a shame. This is not new to most of us. CNN has been building up OBAMA and the next President and they have gone out of their way to start tension between the two candidates and effectively. Now they have to go back and do some reflection on their actions. Do they really want to support a childish individual like OBAMA?

I think the media have had to much say so in this presidential race. We have had every commentator try to outdo each other with the so called "Debates" These guys wouldn't know what a debate is if it bit them in the face. They used these Debates to build their images and worth. I think they looked stupid in many cases. I we need to stop listening to their news conferences (they call them DEBATES) and allow the real people at Universities handle that.

Thank you Hillary for being our Candidate.

Funny how some of you still try to make everything Hillary Clinton's fault. I know what really happend. Bill Clinton was holding Obama's arm down, so the Clintons could attack with this story.lol

For all of you writing " who cares", guess thats how Clinton supporters felt the last month as media derailed her campaign and Obama supporters acted like any tidbit of negative news, real or not, was foder for debate.

Obama made a mistake, one of many. The real story here is that people finally are hearing about it.

I am tried of this election!!! Not of the canidates but the 24-hour news channels who run out of things to cover so they start doing stories like this. Get real CNN and all others, the only people who care about a sunb are children on the play ground!!

Solid snub in my book. John Edwards the only grown-up?

A wolf in sheep's clothing…. the Obama Meaning …….Someone who hides malicious intent under the guise of kindliness" = Obama…..

Watch out Obama is another Bush, mark my words, no one thought that Bush would become the president he is……stubborn, new, likeable, stutters, shuffles, smirks and has wierd facial tics and winkles…..watch Obama…..same thing!

A wolf in sheep's clothing!

Barack Obama did the right thing when he turned his back on Hillary Clinton. What type of person smiles and shakes the hand of the person who took the wind out of their campaign? Historically, a strong presidential candidate has been one that campaigns; for themself! Hillary has Bill doing concession speeches and name calling. She supports what Bill has been saying and has yet to apologized for it. Noticeably, I found it interesting indeed that she would be wearing a demon red suit on the day that Senator Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy endorsed Obama. Hillary and Bill Clinton are out to divide, not unite.

ALICE IN FLORIDA……………TOO BAD YOUR VOTE FOR BILLARY WON'T COUNT!!!!! YOU NEED TO PUT DOWN YOUR Ho-Ho's, Stop watching Dr. Phil and MOVE ON!!!!

Obviously, going by the over 1500 posts here, it is thought by 90% that Obama was pouty and childish, and Hillary was the "adult" here, and willing to act the right way. That sends Obama's message of unity and reaching across the isle, etc, down the creek, doesn't it?
the 10% here who are saying this isn't news, or you can't think why Obama should be civil to Hillary since they are disagreeing in the debates, etc. Think about this. If Obama isn't capable of acting civil to Clinton, because he thinks she isn't being "nice" to him in the debates, then how is he going to act to world leaders that we need to deal with? Is he going to pout and turn his back on Putin, and other world leaders that we need to come to agreement with? This is a lot more important than the Dem. debate. And it is way more important than the debate with the Republicans, and whether they will fry Obama alive, which they will. Even more difficult will be dealing with world leaders. Be afraid, Obama supporters. Be very afraid. Because your oratory hero is a big cry baby,–way too immature to lead this country. I hope enough people realize this, because WE NEED HILLARY to lead this country like a strong leader.

ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED COMMENTS.

And we wonder what is wrong with this country.

People are more concerned with whether Obama shook Hillary's hand or not.

Let me ask you this:

If someone insinuated you were a Muslim Terrorist, said you admired Reagan (when you said no such thing) and did a million other dirty, underhanded things, would you shake their hand?

Heck no.

Obama looked away to save Hillary from an awkward moment. She went across the aisle to HIS SEAT and then talked to someone else like
