What The Media Didn’t Report: Russians Refused To Shake Obama’s Hand

In the last news cycle there were a lot of stories written about Obama’s visit to Russia. But one story that didn’t appear anywhere in the American media (that I saw) was about the Russian leaders refusing to shake Obama’s hand.

Where was the media in reporting this news?

This is must see news for Americans. They need to see this important news.

I saw that - pretty painful to watch...yet, not.

[duckman]

I almost feel bad for the guy... not.

I thought this was going to be a joke, but it’s actually shocking.

It appears to me 0bama is introducing Medvedev to his associates, not being snubbed.

Too bad though!

I just sent this to Sean Hannity. My mouth was on the floor watching this.

LOL!

The other video, with the King that Obama bows too, is just as funny. I think one guy finally shakes his hand.

The Russians aren't so dumb after all!

[Cvengr]

Were they refusing to shake his hand or was he introducing others to the Russian?

[this is my country]

What?

You are exactly right. I think there will be many Freepers with egg on their face once they calm down, look at the video and see reality. Talk about sheeple.............

[Sans-Culotte]

bump for later

[Reddy]

Cr#p. I was hoping it was true, but it just looks like he was introducing people to each other.

I wouldn’t shake his hand.... EVER.

You can believe, among themselves, he was referred to as чёрный - The Russian term for "black," but in certain context is a racial slur.

What the Hell are you talking about?

Zero clearly has his hand outstretched several times and no Russkie shook it. Look at the look on his face.

Unlike our butt-smooching media, the foreign press knows what's going on. Like that reporter in Ghana who smacked down CNN troll Lemon.

[Right Cal Gal]

True, but there’s that one moment where he drops his hand and looks somewhat mortified. Still, after what happened in Saudi Arabia, it’s funny as heck!
