Do you know the definition of the word "ignorant"? I'd suggest that getting a degree from Harvard would indicate that a person is not ignornant. It might be harder to get accepted at Harvard than an online college/university too.
You can be trainable (as her degree would indicate) and still ignorant.

WHAT? No, she's not. Not at all.

so what does the word "ignorant" mean to you? And you would equate technical schools which "train" with colleges/universities such as Yale and Harvard?

Indonesia's pious information minister, Tifatul Sembiring, is in hot water for touching the hand of First Lady Michelle Obama, in what he describes as forced contact. The politician flaunts his conservatism as a Muslim and claims to avoid touching women who aren't family members, the Associated Press reports.
***
Video of the moment does seem to contradict Sembiring's characterization of the encounter -- but you be the judge. The video is below:

Muslim HYPOCRACY!

The entire cult is a sham!

Just proves that social protocol and being courteous and human wins over that so-called religion.

Yes Mooshell has a weight problem. Take a look at that spare tire hanging around her waste. She's not obese, but she is definitely over weight. She loves her burgers and fries too, but you can't have that anymore though.

Actually.... she's not. I just did a quick google search and she's apparently 5'11 and weighs in the high 170s, which is a size 12 which puts her smack dab in the healthy range. Considering the average size of a woman in America is a size 14, she's actually below average... and still a few inches taller than the average.

Ok I am no great fan of Mrs. Obama but come on. In our society a handshake is just about an automatic reflex. The video does show the gentleman reaching for her hand first.
It was a mistake on both parts evidently.
Credibility is gained and lost with the battles one opts to fight. Mrs. Obama will make mistakes. G.Bush senior puked on a japanese leader its hard to top that one.
My point isn't who is worse or who did what first. Its that humans are prone to mistakes. What did this mistake cost us?
Do we really want close relations with a country that can't bear to shake hands with a woman?
We may have a female president someday sooner than later. Will it be acceptable for her to be treated as though her hand is unworthy of being touched by a leader of a less than significant nation?
