Did Russian Leaders Snub Obama by Refusing to Shake His Hand? … The video appears to show numerous Russian politicians ignoring Obama's extended hand during his visit to Moscow. Did Russian Leaders Snub …
Wake up Black America: Was Obama "snubbed" while in Russia?
It doesn't surprise me that the media didn't report on this apparent snub of Obama by Russians. … As far as a snub in Russia I really dont know. … Obama's internet Czar will decide which message should be on the internet.

Did the Duma Shun Obama when he visited Russia?
The video shows members of Russia’s Duma shaking hands with President Medvedev but refusing to take Obama’s often offered hand.
A couple of Americans that I showed the video to suggested that it must be faked, and I wish it was, but I doubt that it is.
To alter an image in Photoshop is one thing and even the best done ones can be detected if you look hard enough and know what you’re looking for, but to alter a video in this way would be exceedingly hard to do, even for a major studio.
I might be wrong, and if you believe the video is fake then please explain how it was done and I will publish your comments.
I live in an area that is 80% made up of people from the former Soviet Union with most coming from Georgia and when I told people about the video last night and asked them what it meant, they looked at me in a somewhat surprised and half-disbelieving way, and said, “Of course they wouldn’t shake hands with him, he’s black”.
So the refusal to shake hands was because Obama is half black and not because of his politics which is very very sad.
A quick perusal of the articles on this site will show that I am not an Obama fan, and I believe him to be one of the worst things that ever happened to the United States.
In this case however, I feel very sorry for him, and that is something that I never expected write.
During his visit to Russia, it was widely reported in Europe, but not in the States that Obama suggested to both Medvedev and Putin that they try to put a stop to corruption in Russia.
Such a suggestion would be similar to proposing that Obama cut back on the Constitution, and they must have both laughed their way to the bank.
One well known French newspaper carried a banner headline following the report which roughly translated was, “Obama puts his foot in the plate”.

As we now all know or should do by now, President Obama is an Afro-American, the son of a Muslim father and a one-time resident of Indochina which is predominantly Muslim.
The upside to this of course is that it makes it much more difficult for the Islamic world to typecast him as a son of the “Great Satan” especially because his middle name is Hussein.
Rightly or wrongly however, President Barack Obama is getting a lot of praise heaped on him right now by much of the Muslim world because he chose the Saudi-owned Arabic TV news channel Al-Arabiya on which to make his first formal television interview.
So what’s wrong with that?
Well when you give interviews to foreigners that are basically hostile to your country it’s probably not a great idea to firstly criticize your own country and secondly praise the one that despises you, but that is what Obama basically did.
He said,
“All too often the United States starts by dictating and in the past on some of these issues we didn’t always know all the factors that were involved. So let’s listen. Well, here’s what I think is important. Look at the proposal that was put forth by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. I might not agree with every aspect of the proposal, but it took great courage to put forward something that is as significant as that. I think that there are ideas across the region of how we might pursue peace”.
The U.S. was previously dictatorial and the Saudi king had been courageous.
Obama went on to say,
“But if you look at the track record, as you say, America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there’s no reason why we can’t restore that. And that I think is going to be an important task. So what we want to do is to listen, set aside some of the preconceptions that have existed and have built up over the last several years. And I think if we do that, then there’s a possibility at least of achieving some breakthroughs. But I think that what you’ll see is somebody who is listening, who is respectful, and who is trying to promote the interests not just of the United States, but also ordinary people who right now are suffering from poverty and a lack of opportunity. I want to make sure that I’m speaking to them, as well”.
So even though America did the following praiseworthy things Obama gave the impression to haters of the U.S. that America had only been bad!
” American saved Kuwait.
” Spoke out against Russia on behalf of the Chechens.
” Tried to save the Somalis.
” Bombed, Christian European Serbia to save the Kosovan and Bosnian Muslims.
” Helped the Afghans fight the Soviets.
” Is still fighting the Taliban.
” Overthrew Saddam Hussein and is still fighting in Iraq.
” Invested billions fighting disease in Africa much of which is Muslim.
” Aided tsunami victims.
And the list goes on and on and Bush can list many things to his credit.
” The U.S. was not hit by terrorists for seven years.
” Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation was stopped.
” Libya gave up its nuclear program.
” Syria mostly left Lebanon.
” Al Qaeda’s leadership is scattered and less effective.
Throughout the almost two years of political campaigning it was tacitly understood that mentioning Obama’s ancestry and middle name were off-limits.
Obama however does not feel himself limited by this tacit understanding,
“Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries. The largest one, Indonesia. And so what I want to communicate is the fact that in all my travels throughout the Muslim world, what I’ve come to understand is that regardless of your faith, and America is a country of Muslims, Jews, Christians, non-believers, that regardless of your faith, people all have certain common hopes and common dreams.
The bottom line is that Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush all tried hard to promote peace in the Middle East but amongst the major obstacles to peace are religious intolerance, illiberality, violent aggression and complicity in the promotion of terror by Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
The above mentioned countries know only too well the role that they’ve played for their own political reasons and Obama knows it too but he has already set out to placate them with the downside being that he will mostly likely make a bad situation far worse.
