Handshake Headaches

[letenant]

I doubt anyone who knows me has the opinion that I like Barak H Obama.  The fuss over him shaking hands with Hugo Chavez is downright silly.  If we're going to get huffy over a handshake, what about his bow to the Saudi king but not to the queen of England?  Given that he's said he will talk with any leader, not shaking hands would be childish.

seriously. the whole shaking hands thing is ridiculous waste of news time; it is the least two civilized representatives of two countries could do when they meet.

Substantive Matter

It bugs me more than folks are getting hung up on this silly stuff and ignoring more substantive issues of both policy and plan. I'm not surprised, just disappointed.
