obama not welcome in russia?

I don't know if I would read that much into it. I sure do not like Obama, but it is a simple offering of respect. This could just be an issue of not wanting to shake the hand of a foreign dignitary before that of their president. Then again, you never know. :-)

ok slightly playing the devils advocate, but, the first gesture does seem like he was about to shake a hand, but if you look after it looks more as if hes introducing medvedev to people, who in turn is shaking their hands.....am i completely horribly wrong?

and yes i know this was in moscow
 
I noticed how they "promoted" Uncle Ben of Uncle Ben's rice from "domestic servant" to "chairman of the board".

I've always felt Obamas presidency highlighted a similar situation, in that a black man is now the figurehead the same old group of money grabbing white honkeys.

He's still not really done anything to earn any respect anyway.

+1 million dead babies to you sir.

obama's nothing more than the new, friendly face of the (hah, gasp!) NWO.

Looks not wrong at all. Maybe he is introducing some Americans from his crew to the Russian guy?
