He got what he deserved. The world's hate and blame on him.
7 Posted 365 days ago by rufinus
mmhh for me it looks like he doesnt want to shake hands, bad manners i would say.
shame on you mr bush, shame on you lame duck.
8 Posted 365 days ago by LegendarySaint
I wouldn't shake any of their hands. They are all arrogant scum, too worried about their image and political standing to do the right thing. Name one current president or prime minister who did something without an agenda for benefitting from it. Its ok I'll wait.
10 Posted 365 days ago by SpikedSilver
know them or not, it is a matter of respect to shake hands to so called "world leaders" even if you are one yourself.
11 Posted 365 days ago by chance
I think this is a little misinterpreted. Based on everyone's reaction, I think Bush knew the world leaders were going to disrespect him. Otherwise they would be looking at him as he passed, or his head would be raised. Most are to blind to see this though and eat whatever the media highlights.

Bush:-""Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason."

Can't say I feel sorry for him. He brought shame to America and its standing in the world and made us all learn to live in fear, regardless of race. The end of him can't come quick enough.

Hm!? When Bush enters the stage i doesn't bother to try to get eyecontact until he comes to the fifth person. He passes by and only looking ahead, no wonder no one shakes his hand. Don't think its a matter of anyone hating him - its just happens that he passes by more or less unnoticed when everybody is looking here and there ... 
16 Posted 365 days ago by tolstoy
'Passing by more or less unnoticed...?' This isn't a queue to a local burger joint. These are 20 of the top finance ministers and bank governors from around the world controlling 80% of world trade with two-thirds of the world's population. If the guy doesn't see the point of eye contact or indeed even attempt a handshake you gotta wonder what goes on between those ears. The guy's a loser, always was, trouble is he took a lot of us down with him.

i read in a newspaper here in Arg that once he shaked hands with Obama in the past and right after he asked one of his assistents to give him some antibacterial stuff and later said to Obama that it was the only way to prevent a cold or so.. and offered him some of it..

Bush had already warmly greeted all of the G-20 participants when they arrived and they all showed respect and friendly response to his handshakes. The jerk reporting this knew that fact but hoped most viewers of CNN (Communist News Network )did not know it. As you can see in this link http://www.cctv.com/english/20081115/102782_11.shtml all the leaders were cordial and smiling. CNN had photographers at the event but you will not see these photos from them.
Most of the members of the G-20 were seeing and greeting each other for the first time since arriving in Washington during that video and were acknowledging each other in the proper way. Bush had already done that on the North Portico and it was not proper for him to do it all over again.
Since Obama was supported and cheered by all of America's enemies I am sure he will be loved by many of you because he will be a weak leader. Obama was endorsed by Hamas,the PLO,and Qaddafi, to name a few of the terrorist supporters,so that does not bode well for the US. Shame on the idiots who voted for him.
22 Posted 365 days ago by Oldfart
#20 By weak I mean a leader similar to Jimmy Carter who thought that if you were nice to your enemies then they would be nice to you. Obama has said he would like to sit down and converse with Ahmadinejad of Iran even though Ahmadinejad has said he was not interested in talking to Obama unless Obama 'kneels down and recognizes Iran's superiority'. I would not be surprised if Obama did just that.
You will never be able to "rule a country with the consent of all its peoples" because there are too many points of views and groups that are at odds with each other.
You are probably already going with 'weak'.

A work collegue of mine has been waiting 3 months for appointment to deal with damaged tendons in his arm, got the call to look at him yesterday morning, in the afternoon a second call telling him surgery will be on 9th December. Following surgery he will have three months physiotheraphy - Cost? Zilch!
Yes, a wait for initial appointment can be a problem but at that price he isn't complaining. Out of genuine interest, what would this kind of surgery cost in the states, with follow up care?

Well if any of you who thought Bush had been snubbed bothered to go to the provided link ....http://www.cctv.com/english/20081115/102782_11.shtml
@# 19 to see him greeting the G-20 members then you should be eating crow right about now for your uneducated comments. How do those feathers taste?
How in the world could you have believed the G-20 members would snub their host in Washington? Do you think all of the members are boorish snobs?
33 Posted 364 days ago by tolstoy
The lead for this line of thinking came from CNN. I do however like how the television network of the People's Republic of China, CCTV is used to prove what appears to be a different scenario. So the communists are useful for something then.
No one going to answer my question regard costs for 're-stringing' an arm? Any thoughts on the Global Trends report by the National Intelligence Council?
Btw Oldfart I wasn't being literal when I referred to 'all' the people, obviously that would be a trifle difficult.
These are important issues Chingis and if you haven't noticed the changes in the last eight years because of the president that was elected, I think maybe you should get out more and start taking note of the world you live in. It can only change if you engage with it and I'm afraid that means taking note of who runs your country.

This video shows how much, journalist and every way of communcation, can create in 1minute, a large disinformation... 
Few years ago, people on the internet would not check if this information would be false or wrong...
35 Posted 364 days ago by Chingis
lol
#Tolstoy... Of course i do care about world leaders, probably more than u do. Who knows!!!!... But My point was i just fed up to hear some ppl's useless arguments (trying to show how clever they r... silly b****y retards) on this website.
that's why i recommended that website. if u really wanna debate and talk about Politics and Leaders, plz check that website.. Your friends and opponents already there.. lol... http://www.createdebate.com/
But don't get me wrong... i'm not telling u what to do. On this website Ppl say whatever they want and so do i? http://photos.commongate.com/11/38441_7dtr2scy8f_l.jpg and u made me 1 of them and thnx for that.. 
Btw Tolstoy was 1 of the greatest russian poet. Am i right? r u russian? govorish po-russki?

@#33 I had a disc operation ( C4,C5 T1,T2 ) and my total out of pocket expense was the $50.00 co-pay that my medical insurance required. My right elbow had a tendon problem that needed surgery and again just a small co-pay was all that was required from me.I pay about US $6000.00 a year for the medical insurance that covers my family. I could have avoided many operations if I had not raced AMA motorcross when I was younger.

To Oldfart. "Shame on the idiots who voted for him"... Just wondering: Do you mean that the US is populated with a large number of idiots? I thought that in a democratic society one have respect for fellow citizens no matter how much the political views and opinions differ. No singel human are able to encompass the entire reality, just a tiny (even smaller than that) fraction of it. Thats why we are supposed to join together and with our differing views and experiences trying to cover a more extended and perhaps wider spectrum of our reality. The base of a fundamentalistic or totalitarian system is usually that only one view is correct and all the others have to be opressed, or persecuted to extinction.... because they are idiots!! 
38 Posted 363 days ago by Oldfart
@#37 The US is for sure populated with a large number of useful idiots that never bothered to look at what Obama stood for in his past limited political career and at his very shady 'friends' with ties to Middle East crooks,some of whom are now in prison for bribery and other felonies. The man who has been bankrolling his campaigns for the last ten years was born in Syria (and is now in prison) . Obama's mentors in his teen and college years were all members of the American Communist Party and one of them (Frank Marshall Davis)was a convicted pediphile.
So yea,I do mean that the US stays uneducated on many matters of importance and were swayed by his charm instead of considering his past record. 98% of blacks voted for him so I guess racism is alive and well here.
40 Posted 362 days ago by tolstoy
'98% of blacks voted for him so I guess racism is alive and well here.'
Oh, so they should have voted white, right?! For a country that crows on about it's freedoms, you get mighty pissed when people make the 'wrong' choices. Thankfully, in my country this is a preference you're allowed to make.
Wake up to the reality of the world around you america, for a long time now it has been turning without you, even your own intelligence agencies acknowledge that.
41 Posted 362 days ago by Oldfart
No one said being born in Syria (the largest supporter of terrorist groups)is a crime ,but for a presidential candidate to have such close personal ties with a convicted felon who was involved in wire fraud,extortion,money laundering,and bribery among other charges that are still pending, is very disturbing and shows a real lack of judgement on Obama's part.
In this country you are free to make bad choices and many Americans did just that.The 'welfare class' in the US has learned that they can vote themselves an increase in government benefits by voting for the liberal and sooner or later it will end up in civil war.The working people who are being taxed to death to pay for all the welfare are going to end it one day.
42 Posted 361 days ago by tolstoy
Civil war? You really do feature from a different age don't you. This is the 21st century not the 19th and issues of policy are decided via a democratic process of discussion (often heated to be sure) and choices made at the ballot box; curious how a country that prides itself on freedom of thought and speech feels so insecure about it that its people arm themselves to the teeth in fear of it being removed and speak of civil war (haven't you got it yet? The gun solves nothing).
For too long now the majority of the american people have seen the view of their nation sink in stature throughout the world and rightly have grown angry at it. This was what people voted for in this election - change. As for Obama's alleged wrongdoings I am unable to comment since you don't quote sources and besides, who of us hasn't at a young age courted views outside the norm. This is normal for any young person seeking to define their voice (and let's be clear this WAS at an early age), the sign of an adult is to take those views and consider them for their merits and faults and weigh them accordingly. If Obama was the risk you suggest do you think he'd have risen to the position he is at now? I'd say not. To me this suggests a man not closed to alternative points of view and looks beyond a narrowly defined 'norm' as a catalyst for growth; such a flexible approach is to be applauded and encouraged.
Of course any demoracy has it faults but here in the UK we are happy with the freedoms we enjoy without having to constantly shout about it, we don't feel obliged to fly a flag of the union from any and every piece of furniture (something we would associate with fascism here) and where we also have a strong contempt of authority or brazen behaviour of any kind, any government we elect understands this and accepts it can only govern with our consent. This is a multilateral view of society which we embrace and many across the world see Obama as understanding these values beyond merely what is deemed right for your country alone.
Peace bro, this is my last comment on the matter. Life's too short.
