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”.

Thanks for your comment Mike.
It’s interesting that the link above leads a to a supposedly “unedited version” showing how Obama did shake hands with ‘some’ members of the Duma and other officials.
The problem with the “unedited version” is that also has three edits between the first and last handshake and Obama never gets to the end of a line in it.
Look at 18 seconds; there’s a big jump from the first person in line to several people further down.
And what exactly is Obama doing when he keeps withdrawing his hand in the first clip?
It’s impossible to say what really happened there, without seeing unedited videos or having been there.
This is in some ways similar to the “Bowing Video”, and Obama apologists claim that he was simply picking up something that fell on the floor – give me a break!

And we saw how Obama undermined the US again at the UN and had nothing good to say about it
