David Axelrod Explains Why Barack Obama Snubbed Sen. Clinton

[Verlch]

Obama is being snubbed in Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Get ready.

[SpaceCat75]

As you can see, the dumbass media anchors are trying to spin the story yet again into sensationalism. fucking media

[taoworm23]

I noticed the same thing too!

[tripin4u]

Who is hillary? why do blks always have to acknowledge white folks. He was to bizzy acknowledge voters. Not her fony ass.

[Primetime7]

These New Media?!!! These loons are funny, are we really selecting our next President on weather or not he shook someones hand or NOT!!! Are you people serious. Take everything these clowns say with a grain of SALT. STICK WITH THE ISSUES,child care, health care, the war, people dying in Iraq. Why was the world trade destroyed and who really was behind it, now if the media can get that right then we be on to something.

[BlueStarMom43]

Unelectable? Where do you get your information? Have you seen the National polls?

[CastorT64]

The Democrats are now poised to nominate one of two unelectable, left-wing extemists - Hillary or Obama. The Libs overplayed their hand. It's time for them to start dreaming about 2012. :)

[rapheALtoid]

Oh, and the Bush-Cheney bus had "Yes, American Can" across the back. Similar, but not quite the same. Good try though.

[Bardolph1978]

Hillary sends emails calling Obama a terrorist (yes people, it's her camp that did it), her husband attempts to marginalize him as the "black candidate", they try and exaggerate his links to a thug, Rezko, and yet when the cameras are watching reach out to shake his hand? Don't be idiots, people. The fact that Obama even has to apologies for not shaking her hand yet noone is calling this KKK bitch and her mysogynist husband out for their race-baiting is a joke.

[africanlit]

If there's any KKK bitch, it's you.

[gatsu6969]

bardolph i doubt that its her campaign that did it. there are a lot of people on the internet, and it may surprise you that there are a lot of people that hate obama. I'm one of them.

[AllendeIV]

Although i don't condone the use of the b word or the c word, i must say that both supporters of Obama and Clinton are doing nothing but spewing out the same insulting and honestly embarrassing. look at the straight facts, and what they (the candidates) offer. personally for me, i choose Obama because that's who i agree with politically. as for the "snubbing," if you take a look at 1:12 then you will hear that the Clinton campaign is SAYING snub. that's dirty politics in general. just clarifying

[stevenmorabu]

If that b*#&% gets the ticket we wont win the white house, why are people so blind???

[bichosus]

Ahh shit, Ive been hacked on you tube?! I don't remember commenting on this.

[seapoidog]

Where is the video? It looks to me like he didn't see a single person in a crowded room. That photo is worthless.

[hiwaymanx]

Hey, wait a second! Where is the picture of Hillary crying after she was snubbed? Maybe the guy just hates the bitch because she is a lying snake. Maybe the guy doesn't want her poisonous energy to infiltrate him. You seriously expect him to stand around uncomfortably like a third wheel while Ted and her were talking shit? It's hard - I can't take it anymore - I need a Kleenex.

[jeep490]

Comments like this sicken me. So many Obama supporters are calling the only Democratic First Lady we have had in 27 years the "b" word and the "c" word. It's shameful! And destructive to the party. If Barack gets the nomination I am writing Hillary's name on my ballot. Can't vote for him. At first I thought I'd vote McCain... then I heard his war mongering on last night's debate. Hillary has answers. She isn't just mouthing slogans like Obama.

[rapheALtoid]

have you watched any of the news about the debate?? their stances on the issues are very similar -- except Obama's stance on the war and on health care are actually better (yesterday, more than 85 health care experts released a letter debunking Senator Clinton's critique of Obama's plan and Harvard rated it the best of any candidate's).

no, she's not just mouthing slogans -- she's stealing themes from obama and then taking twice as long to say them without the eloquence.

[jeep490]

Stop accusing Hillary of stealing slogans rapheALtold. Obama's YES WE CAN slogan used to be painted in huge letters on the campaign bus for Bush Cheney. Anybody out there have a picture of it that we can post on YouTube?

[rapheALtoid]

it's not just 'yes we can,' it's change, "fired up and ready to go" and how she phrases her arguments. in Tacoma today she actually said "it's not about the Republicans, it's not about the Democrats, it's about a UNITED america." yeah, pretty sure that's been his stump speech since 2004! my original comment was based the debate: she was saying nearly the same thing but taking way too much time without saying it directly, while boring the audience. there's not a creative bone in that woman's body

[glory789]

Obama is war mongering? LOL. Are you two years old? Do you pay attention to politics? Hillary voted for the war while Obama has been against it from day one. Get your facts straight. Obama has honesty and integrity. Hillary doesn't. Hillary Clinton and George W Bush are the two most divisive figures in politcs. At least Obama has real answers and cares about the people.

[jeep490]

If you read my post correctly you would see that I said McCain was war mongering, not Obama. Sheesh. As for Obama his big healthcare plan will not cover 15 million Americans. That is half the total population of Canada. Hello! He has so many connections to Republicans one must wonder if there aren't unseen strings there.

[wiggus13]

this is totally in line with Obama's passive aggressive behavior- which was full throttle at his victory speech in South Carolina.

let he who is without political sin cast the first stone.

Obama is not JFK, Obama is not RFK, Obama is not MLK.

Obama is Obama.

We've heard way too many eloquent Obama feel good speeches that lack substance -especially on the issues.

[sexfanatic]

Obama is probably passive agressive but Hillary is a liar and just plain aggressive im general...and after all the lies Hill. said about Obama i would snub her to, even though he probably didn't and the media is stirring up drama 4 ratings

[bichosus]

there's no videos. This is all bullshit.

Each image of the handshake should say,

"This photo is endorsed and payed for by the Clinton Administration."

[jeep490]

there is video blchosus. saw the entire thing on CNN. he snubbed... so divisive

[glory789]

Obama is divisive, but Hillary isn't? Get off the drugs you lazy, good for nothing kid.

[ortmanm]

who CARES!?!?!?!?! I'd snub her too.

[rmtaks]

This is just a weird photo moment. Like when one politician is smearing the other on a commercial, they always freeze the opponent's picture mid-sentence at the most awkward moment when his face is all contorted.

[allrequiredfields]

Is it possible to find one fucking VIDEO of the incident? What the fuck could a picture prove?

[juicybae]

That's true. I never saw a video of this.

[MikeMose]

This is really going to get me the health care I need! This is BS...They have nothing negative to say about Obama so they start making something out of NOTHING

[fuzzyone99]

But it's exactly what we could expect. The whole Clinton campaign has been about nothing other than how they deserve to never have their egomaniacal feelings hurt and how the electorate have to endlessly cater to that. Bill's feelings, Hill's feelings, these are destructive, dysfunctional people who need to go away and to stop sucking the American people into the vortex of their emotional toilet bowl.

[alexisdeniro]

i luv barack obama and i hope he win

go barack obama

[oooooo888888]

Snub?!?! are we serious... if hillary were a person of substance I could possibly see how some may have misinterpreted this one photo as a missed glance at best. Do we consider not greeting the stranger passing us by on the sidewalk a snub? I can't wait to see the photos of the first face to face encounter she has with Jesse Jackson, I wonder if she'll even get as much as a snub.

In Obama we trust!

[1nviaggio]

it doesn't look like a snub. if Hillary had extended her hand toward Obama and then he turned away....THATS a snub.

[fuzzyone99]

the hand's extended to Teddy, not Obama. the first thing a political hack does is to kiss the ass of the people who have enough power to deny them what they plead for. she is a world-class follower, not a leader. kiss-up and kick-down. Bolton in a dress, only she uses sympathy more and hostility less nowadays. who could blame her when she's this much of a loser?

[kbushins]

PLEASE! Why is a social faux pas becoming a determining factor in judging Obama's character?  This is pointless media drama, I don't understand why so many people are falling for it.

[forafriend03]

Here is an observation. As soon as Obama's opponents come with some thing good he starts making speeches about it. Take for example the 70 billion economy stimulus plan that hillary talked about first while in Nevada and 3 days later it was the talking point of Senator Obama (ofcourse his is 75 billion).

[VenicDred]

The Audacity of "Hope".

Bringing "Change" to Washington.

"Yes We Can."

These are all Obama statements.

At the beginning of the race-

I don't know what Edwards slogan was before "Hope". (Obama wrote a book about it a few years ago)

Hillary was the candidate of "Experience" (not Change)

And Hillary went to California and said to the Hispanic community "Yes We Can" in Spanish(a week or so after Obama's New Hampshire speech)

Imitation is the flattery I guess.

[jeep490]

"Yes We Can" was the slogan painted on the Bush/Cheney campaign bus my friend.

[glory789]

Hillary is actually the anti-christ. Heard that bitch laugh? She just panders to democratic voters and interest groups. Obama is for all Americans, Republicans, Independents and Democrats.

[jeep490]

another "b" word comment from an obama supporter. really informs

[sexfanatic]

Hillary steals peoples campaign platform all the time

She use to b the candidate of experience

Now she is the candidate of change?

She is a crock

[forafriend03]

Obama is smart and intelligent. BUT why can't he wait 8 years and build a record in senate. He shud work in senate for Hope, Change and uniting america and then come to american people and ask for their vote. Media free ride will get him a nomination and maybe the presidency.

[StrictlyRampant]

Obama says he's a uniter, what does this say about him??? He was totally rude, he could've at least just said hello and then let Ted Kennedy speak with her, but no, he just flat out turned his back on her!

[fuzzyone99]

sometimes being a uniter means you have better things to do than to cater to the endlessly selfish needs of the polarizing dividers.

[sexfanatic]

prove he snubbed her? This pic proves nothing...i want live footage

[christratton]

What a total weasel explanation by David Axelrod. He knows this behavior by Sen. Obama is inexcusable.

[VenicDred]

Whaaaa, he didn't shake Hillary's hand.

Come on people!

It would have been more akward for him to shake her hand with his new BFF next to him.

He let Teddy have his space to say it's not personal.

[guerrette]

I'm with you Omama is an jackass..He's a child and needs to go back to Kindergarden. If you are that sensitive to name calling wait unti he becomes President and the GOP take him out for a ride...LMFAO...

[mtkane209]

Shows he has no class. At least she put her hand out to shake Kennedy's hand even though he endorsed Obama earlier. No Class!

[luzzimike]

Barrack may have snubbed her because of this: search on YouTube: "Clinton's Exposed" It could be possible.

[crikeyuncle]

maybe he was talking to someone behind him? I mean seriously what is he going to do? Butt in on the conversation between hillary and kennedy cause he is stuck in the middle of it? I mean seriously this is the type of dirt that we can dig up on Obama? He must be one hell of a good guy.

[rapheALtoid]

Look for the other pictures, with the different perspective. He's clearly turning toward Senator McCaskill -- one of his female Senator endorsements who had just asked him a question. Please people, you'll see drama in anything.

[rapheALtoid]

Exactlty. Take a look at the other photos that show a different perspective -- he's clearly turning to and responding to a question asked of him by Senator McCaskill -- on of his endorsers. Please. You people will see drama anywhere.

[fuzzyone99]

and that's the difference with obama. he respects the people who look to him, believe in him and help to work with him. he knows that his first order of business is not wasting time smarmily kissing the asses of the many people who won't respect him. and that's because he knows how to EARN respect.

[cdahlstr]

Barack Obama is an asshole.

[bigbardmusiq]

More SMEAR campaigning!
