Ever gotten a new girlfriend, only to have her ex show up on your first date?

[Joe the Revelator]

Decorum says give them a little room to talk. Thats what Obama was doing with Ted and Hillary.

[Diane R]

1. That's exactly what happened. He tried to give Ted some space to shake hands.

[AGirl]

4. because Ted is really fat.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

2. No, I haven't , but please, do tell!

MKJ

on edit, did the ex just happen to be there? Or did you know the ex would be there and go anyway? Or, did the ex "surprise" you?

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Well, there I was....

[Bluebear]

3. Why do Obama's words & actions always need interpreting by his fans?

Seriously?

[Seen the light]

9. Because of dumbasses that see things that aren't there n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Because the people who don't like him go way out of their way to spin bullshit

into everything he does. Which causes his supporters to restate what should be amazingly clear to people using a little bit of brain power.

[Bluebear]

19. See, you say no brain power, poster above you calls them dumbasses.

Do you really not see how this talk is not indicative of "hopefuol" dialogue as sold by Obama?

[krkaufman]

21. Yes, every supporter of Obama must be the modern-day equivalents ...

... of Jesus Christ or Gandhi; otherwise, Obama's message is obviously false.

[Bluebear]

23. Heaven forbid they act civilized.

[krkaufman]

24. One would hope so, yes. As with all candidates' supporters. n/t

[Quixote1818]

6. That was my take too. It was just an awkward moment. nt

[maddiejoan]

7. Uh huh

Like he wouldn't know every camera was going to be trained in their direction.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

16. Exes.

[depakid]

18. Oh please.

This is almost as dumb as the "snub" posts.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. Please, explain to me why this theory is any dumber then any other theory out there

Unless you were at the SOTU tonight, you have no more of a leg to stand on then I do.

[Tom Rinaldo]

25. Because running for President is as big league as politics gets

If Obama could not forsee how literally turning his back on Hillary Clinton would get reported, given all the recent reporting of campaign tensions between them, then he was making a dumb rookie mistake. If he intentionally avoided interacting with her, even to "give her space", it was a very poor political decision. The evidence for that will be in the media tomorrow. It would actually reflect better on Obama as a candidate to think he was being rude, than to think he would allow the press to watch him turn consciously away from Hillary and then not make it his number one priority to find time to shake her hand before the wrong impression got reported on.

26. If our senators are that emotionally stunted they have no business in politics. NT
