Ummm…. McCain gives Obama a friendly pat on the back, then when Obama sticks out his hand, McCain doesn’t snub him, he points Obama to his wife.
Y’all know McCain has crippling injuries to his arms from torture received as a POW, and can’t button his own shirt or comb his own hair, right? Maybe it was a refusal to shake, or maybe it was avoiding ending up on live camera in an even more awkward moment of being unable to extend his arms out far. Seriously, Obama is one lanky guy, tall and with really long arms.
I’m giving him benefit of the doubt.
McCain refuses to shake Obama’s hand.
Asshole. If McCain can’t handle basic social niceties with political rivals how will he handle dealing with dangerous world leaders?
