Why is nobody shaking Bush's hand?


While other world leaders at the G20 summit warmly shake each other's hands, US president George W. Bush seems like the school reject who nobody likes. Watch the video.

He didn't even look at half of them first off. Secondly. Why re-shake for a "photo op" when he already had 2? Pointless. Doesn't look bad to any one who actually seen any other video other then just this one. Common sense should tell you that. You go to a party and re-shake every one's hand when new people show up? If you do, then you must need friends.

Look at the body language here though... He is clearly uncomfortable. Yes, he had been welcomed before, but this was a photo op, staged for the cameras, and he should have shaken their hands. Either he didnt or they didnt shake his hand.And it looks bad.

Ummm, what ever moron posted this clearly has a lying issue.  For one, Every member was greated by Bush several times. Landing, at the Door, then again as they left. EVERY one of them shook his hand. You can also find that video very easily.  Yet another moronic attempt to make it look like people don't like Bush... Factually as big of a lie as they claim he has done. Pathetic try, come again.

Bush greated every member of the G20 indivigually at the door and shook their hands then. So he already shook everyones hands. So when the president of Japan Taro Aso started shaking everyones hands it was relitive to the layout and informality of the room which the meeting was held in.

Maybe Bush has shaked hands with everyone before because he was the host of the conference

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was publicly snubbed by Bush. His ratings are now even higher than when he was elected.

I think the case just might be that he is simply not offering his hand, though at first it appears like all of the other representatives have an international agreement not to shake the hand of bushy
