Reply #2: A whole essay on "the handshake incident" from you, Tom! [View All]

That's unexpected.

I'm somewhat surprised!

I always thought you were above the petty politics, and the fact that you weren't there, and can't really "say" what happened exactly makes this amount of time of yours spent on illuminating others on why this matters to you seems beneath you.

Guess everything single little thing matters greatly to Tom Rinaldo after all, hey?

Does the matter that Hillary has a history of "snubbing" and not shaking hands greatly matters to you too, or do you give that a pass?

The relationship began to change when Mr. Obama began musing aloud about a presidential bid. The day he opened his exploratory committee, several Senate observers said, he extended his hand and said hello on the Senate floor. She breezed by him, offering a cool stare.

This is the exact moment of the "handshake" that shook the world. Does it look like Barack was doing anything at all to you?


Hope you're not writing and extra long one on Why Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack doesn't really matter as much as a picture next.

As the wonderful writer that you are, it is sad to see you take up this much of your talent writing about occurences that you can't really vouch for and in the scheme of it all really don't matter. :eyes:

Face it! Obama is just really too uppity for his own good. He needs to shuffle and grovel his way to victory. Otherwise, he'll just look like a defiant and "arrogant" "perfumed" Prince. :(
