    he may be an absolute idiot of a president but not shaking his hand is just childish! If the reason for that happening is bad relations thats the most pathetic thing i have ever seen from world leaders... Kinda felt sorry for him!!!

    He didn't try to shake anyones hand, when he walks onto the stage he has his head down looking at his feet and doesn't even turn towards any of the other guys. Weird

    Well oil prices have dropped drastically. say what you like, but now a lot more people spend less on home heating, fuel for cars, etc., . Saddam Hussein who killed and tortured so many is a distant memory. Under globalist policies, whether you are a conspiracy theorist or a communist, has seen many countries expand their global view under neo-conservative doctrine. Would Ireland have been as successful during the Celtic Tiger era without easy access to credit and US multinationals? On one hand we had the open door of european integration and immigration, and the on the other we had free market policies (to a much greater extent than Obama will have) that brought Dell, Google, Microsoft, and many more here, along with a much more vibrant and multicultural Ireland (in Dublin anyway!).

    This happened under Bush's command.

    The lax laws on interbank lending were created under Bill Clinton.

    Let's see what the next four years brings under Barrack, before comparing them to Bush's.

    Dear Jaysus man.....these are statesmen, not thugs.


    They'd have one of their guys drag one of his guys out and nut him. Only when all the guys guys have been gone through do you nut the head guy....

    wow, he googled george bush and bully together?! ... can't argue with that kind of painstaking investigative journalism. :rolleyes:
    I googled for CNN and idiots together, TWO MILLION HITS.

    Maybe it was arranged beforehand that no handshaking would take place for whatever reason... it's not like they were booing him.

    Looks a bit odd all right. Any chance he's injured his hand or something mad like that? Or maybe he heard that all foreigners wipe their asses with their hands. Never happened before and then half a dozen world leaders don't shake his hands? And no statement to explain their stance?
