I just saw on TV that nobody shook W Bush's hand at some meeting.

I don't like W Bush but that was kinda unprofessional and a bit funny.

Why was that though? Anybody see that or know where he was at...?

Even if they shook his hand 2X before, I think they should have shook his hand a third time. It looked very awkward.

I wouldn't shake his hand. He's a war criminal and should be treated as such. He's responsible for the deaths of more Americans than Saddam Hussein and look what he got!

I thought he looked kinda cute there. It looked like he was sort of "ushering" the other people. HE didn't shake hands with them - otherwise, they would have, of course.

He didn't offer his hand to be shaken. Look at the other people in his line -- they raise up and offer their right hands. Bush keeps his hand at his side, the side of his body opposite the people standing on the higher platform.

I thought this was discussed on another link and proven as untrue.

I did watch a cool program on tv awhile back on body language and it said that the person who has the most power always has their hand on top of a handshake or is the last person walking through the door. They showed a few examples of each. Maybe this was one of those times.

Your a nut. How can you take yourself seriously when you need to twist reality to prove a point?
