She is a cultural retarded, even Obie knows to bow.

:p

International incident.

Michelle should have just bowed like O-bowma.

“I tried to prevent (being touched) with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me (so) we touched,”

I SO understand his distress at being touched by Michelle....

[Spok]

You’d think that if O and the Wookie understood any rules of decorum at all it would be the muzzies’!!

[2dollarbill]

Are we nuts? A “forced” handshake is now international news? FLASH! This just in to the news desk. I tied my shoes today!

[dforest]

We understand muzzie, she had her hands all over the Queen of England too.

But you are the lucky ones, she probably drop kicks little Barry when she gets ticked off.

[pissant]

Good for Michelle. Hope she squeezed it blue.

Waiting for Obama’s defenders to play the racism card.

Again stupid staff. First they let her hold money and then not have enough and now this. If I was the First Family, I would fire the staff......now if the staff gives them advice and they don’t use it, that is a different story.

[Red Badger]

I guess Foggy Bottom failed to let them know of any cultural taboos before their trip............

[Genoa]

If this was going to be an issue, then why was there a receiving line with handshakes? And why was Mr. Conservative standing there? What did he think would happen? Who knows? Now I have another question. How long does Mr. Conservative have to go into seclusion until the pollution wears off? Any particular penance required??

Oh great. Now his penis will fall off.

“A conservative Muslim government minister admits he shook hands with first lady Michelle Obama”

Obviously, the minister thought she was Patrick Ewing!

[Never on my watch]

I think in some sects of the Islamic cult, a woman would be stoned for touching a man who is not her husband.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

[Ramius]

Do they ~not~ have a protocol specialist on staff? Really? Certainly there’s ~somebody~ that gives them a quick pre-meeting brief on customs and protocol when they go somewhere new?
