What The Media Didn’t Report: Russians Refused To Shake Obama’s Hand (VIDEO)

In the last news cycle there were a lot of stories written about Obama’s visit to Russia. But one story that didn’t appear anywhere in the American media (that I saw) was about the Russian leaders refusing to shake Obama’s hand.

That’s where you and I differ. He is NOT the president. He is a Muslim/Marxist usuper and the headed of a ‘silent’ coup that is destroying America.
I would absolutely refuse to shake his hand.

If it is bs then why does Obama’s hand go up AFTER the last handshake?

Because...after being snubbed more than 3 times since entering the room, he finally realizes it and then lamely pretends he is introducing instead of attempting to shake hands.

[Red Steel]

this is a hoax.

Obama is introducing people in a line to shake the Russians hand.

Identify those people at the end of the line that did not shake Oboma's hand would put an end to the confusion.

[Red Steel]

OK, state department people.

Because...after being snubbed more than 3 times since entering the room, he finally realizes it and then lamely pretends he is introducing instead of attempting to shake hands.

Right, Obama does put his hand out initially for a shake and does get snubbed, then he goes into introducing mode.

Someone needs to ID those people in the line.

Thanks....the video on this thread has been edited since the first one hit the internet.

The initial one clearly shows him getting ignored/snubbed at the front of the line.

Hasn’t anybody in here wondered just why the video jumps from when they first start walking to the line (after Dmitry Medvedev motions with HIS arm to call Obama in that direction)...to the end of the reception line?

Buy a clue folks.

Our adversaries have not an ounce of respect for our Mack Daddy.

Can anyone identify any person in the lineup as an American diplomat? If so, the subject is closed.

the video on this thread has been edited since the first one hit the internet.

Exactly, I saw the unedited version and there is no doubt ZerO was snubbed.

I haven't been able to find the unedited version.

Reminds me of the old story William F Buckley told about Eleanor Roosevelt (a flaming liberal). During an interview Mrs Roosevelt claimed she was proud of the fact that she would never shake hands with anti-Communist Senator Joseph McCarthy. Buckley zinged her with the fact that she apparently had no problem shaking the hand of Soviet representative to the UN Andrey Vyshinsky the former state prosecutor for the USSR who was prosecutor at the show trials in the 30’s and was responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands political prisoners. She of course never answered Buckley.

In the unedited version, it is absolutely clear that he is being snubbed. The “introductions” line is pure BS spin on a sanitized version of the video.

Can we say they have discernment, principles and convictions?

“I mean, he is our president. I certainly wouldn’t refuse to shake his hand, no matter how much I despise him.”

An election won through deceit is as worthless as an election won through terrorism.

I wouldn’t shake hands with that domstic enemy of the Constitution, and would love the chance to tell him why.

“The “introductions” line is pure BS spin on a sanitized version of the video.”

If that’s so, it is very important to find and circulate the original. Do you have a copy?

[spacejunkie01]

see if this is it.

If anyone needs further confirmation that this is a hoax, there is a second picture beyond the first one that was already posted.

I cannot post it here but you can view it by going to gettyimages.com and looking at image 88849040

It should only take a few seconds for you to do the search on this site and look at it.

[Mount Athos]

caption of pic 88849040 on gettyimages.com is —
“US President Barack Obama (R) introduces Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (2nd R) to members of the US delegation prior to their meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow, on July 6, 2009.”

Just go to gettyimages.com and paste 88849040 into the search box top of the home page. Comes right up.

[Red Steel]

Still need names to who they were. Five of them. If they’re Russian then I’d say it was a snub. Obama wouldn’t be intro’ing the Russians. The picture in post #12 comes from the Washington COmpost site saying they are the ‘American delegation’. but I wouldn’t take their word on it.

[Mount Athos]

This third photo from a different agency and photographer, who still described it as an introduction by Obama. These are the exact same people shown in the video BTW:

Identity the red and white lapel accoutrement on the guy next to one shaking Medvedev hand it looks foreign. And identify the identification cards hung from his neck. You get a better look at them in post #12 pic. Then we my get somewhere to who these people really are.
