Obama snubs Hillary at SOTU address

Interesting.

Carolina Kennedy and Ted Kennedy and virtually the entire Kennedy clan come out in support of Obama.

And after they do so, Hillary must have been feeling the icy winds blowing her way from the stares to the back of her head.

Then, the infamous desperate handshake, while Obama turns away.

There are denials, of course, but a picture says a thousand words.

I guess Hillary and Bill must have gone too far….

“the snub” — Barack Obama declined to greet Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton before President Bush’s State of the Union speech on Monday night.

After Obama entered the House chamber, he greeted many House members, Supreme Court justices, the president’s cabinet and the military joint chiefs.

Then Obama walked to his seat next to Sen. Edward Kennedy, who had endorsed Obama earlier in the day.

As Hillary approached, she leaned toward Kennedy over a row of seats. Kennedy leaned toward her, and they shook hands.

“Obama stood icily starring at Clinton during this, then turned his back and stepped a few feet away,” Frank James writes on the Web site The Swamp.

“Kennedy may’ve wanted to make peace with Clinton, but Obama clearly wanted no part of that.”

James added: “Judging by how much conversation there was about this brush-off in the press gallery, Americans will be hearing a lot more about this.”

Indeed, Americans did not have to wait long to hear more about “the snub.” Joe Scarborough asked Obama’s top campaign strategist David Axelrod about it on MSNBC on Monday morning, and Axelrod sought to downplay to incident.

“I don’t think he snubbed her at all,” Axelrod said.

hehehe. Axelrod. What an evil genius. Axelrod is still paving the way for Obama.

Rezko was arrested, Obama vows to return all Rezko funds.

And a kinder, gentler Bill Clinton campaigns in New Jersey.

What more could Obama wish for?
