Oops! Bush Wasn't Snubbed at the G20 After All

[77gerald77]

Still,he`s the most unpopular politician in the world.This is why people believed the original story,easy after everything he`s done.

[smujismuj]

Look at all the neo-fascists shaking hands...how encouraging.

If Bush had walked by with his hand out and they turned their backs and/or refused to shake his hand, then yes, I would say he was snubbed. Sorry to all you Moveon.morons who want to believe he was snubbed. He wasn't.

[bleachworthy]

Yes, he had infact shaken hands with all the leaders earlier that day... however they had ALL (and I fucking mean ALL) shaken eachother's hands before, during, and after the shown clip. Bush DID get snubbed, and to report otherwise is shameful, and disgusting... this reporter should have her jaw broken like Ann Coulter.

Gennie Moos story doesn't change the fact they passed the guy buy. What happened elsewhere means nothing.

[supergrover6868]

This is the dumbest thing ever. They shake everybody else hands. But its meaningless cause they shook before? Absurd. CNN is becoming more and more like Fox everyday.

You are living in a partisan bubble.

Someone told you something that wasn't true and you believed it.

Then someone tells you the truth and you refuse to believe it.

[EnigmaHood]

@growapair I also don't buy it. They can't shake his hand again because they already shook hands? That's bullshit. In those previous encounters they really didn't have much choice but to shake his hand, but in this case, they did, so they chose not to shake his hand.

Explain to me how President Bush had an opportunity to shake "everyone's hand earlier that same day" without them being able to greet each other?

Please, you insult my intelligence and common sense.

I like President Bush and was disturbed by how he was treated in this video.

[mutualdisdain]

Yourmoment, you are insulting your own intelligence.

1) Bush was the host of this dinner which is why he greeted each leader one-by-one before the group photo. Each leader arrived separately and had not talked that day until that moment.

2) Search for G20 dinner and you'll see Bush being greeted very warmly by each leader at the dinner the night before.

[yourmoment]

Do you expect me to believe world leaders have dinner together and do not get any opportunity to shake hands with each other?

[mutualdisdain]

I am not making myself clear here. There were two separate events, a dinner and a summit.

1) Each leader greeted one another at the dinner the night before.

2) The next day at the summit, Bush greeted each leader separately as they arrived. The leaders did not interact with one-another that day until the group photo.

We are discussing two separate events on two different days.

[yourmoment]

I don't know if he was snubbed or not, but I do know that this video is very misleading.

The world leaders didn't have a chance to mingle before the photo? Before they lined up to go up the stairs to take the photo were they all sitting in their cars alone?
