First Lady's Handshake Spells Muslim Trouble

[shayd]

I can't believe this many people get so worked up over a goddamn handshake. If we have more nuclear weapons than you do, we get to choose the appropriate greeting. Deal with it.

I'd like to nominate this statement to be included ASAP on the Colbert Report.

Maybe she should've bowed. Or maybe kissed the Koran. Or maybe never shown up.:dunno:

My dear this is a media frenzy world.

This is clearly a big mistake by Michelle Obama : Before you go to a foreign country and meet its people, you gather informations about their culture.
Such a mistake is the proof that Michelle didn't respect this people, or at least not enough to care about their customs.

1)This is proof that you never watched the video of the handshake which Shows that this guy stepped forward & grabbed Mrs Obama hand with both his hands:1orglaugh

Then as a political 'conservative' musilim who claims to never ever physically touch any women outside his family had to backtrack/SAVE FACE after being called a big fat hypocrite for falling over himself to touch Mrs Obama's hand:1orglaugh(Watch the video).

2) THIS IS NOT "NORMAL" Indonesian custom (never ever to touch or shake a womans hand)just some right wing Islamic nuts like this politician who was trying to save face after being mocked by other liberal/moderate politicians & criticized by supporters.

3)It was a long meet & greet line where MANY male politicians shook Mrs Obam's hand with a smile & NO issues. He could have simply nodded or got the hell out of this long line when he saw this woman coming.

Again THIS IS NOT NORMAL Indonesian custom & only ONE single male politician(she has shaken hundreds/maybe thousands of mens hands) had an issue after mockingly being called a hypocrite & issued a statement claiming Mrs Obama was 'too agressive'. lol (watch the video)
