A friend of mine was in a small restaurant that Bill Clinton ended up having dinner in. They closed it off to the public, but people already inside were allowed to stay. He was able to briefly meet the president and shook his hand.

I told him at the time that presented with that situation I would have REFUSED to shake Clinton's hand.

I would refuse today to shake Barack Obama’s hand. Not because he is Black, but because of his policies and beliefs which are totally opposite of my own. Just like Bill Clinton.

When I was in High School, I did shake Bobby Kennedy's hand. I was young and didn't know any better.

I shook Ronald Reagan’s hand in 1976. It’s probably about time to wash it.

I shook Robert Kennedy's hand too....sort of...he was reaching out to a lot of kids and I'm sure our hands at least grazed....LOL

you know, there was a time that everyone at least respected certain people....like teachers...you always respected teachers....the teacher was always right and you know your parents would side with the teacher...

and police....used to be all cops were looked up to as heros....now, we question them...and they do deserve to be questioned...

democrats used to at least have a modicum of integrity and earned respect...they at least tried to represent the little people...the workers...the soldier....

but now what do we have?....
