Shake It

CNN claims that other world leaders wouldn't shake hands with Bush at the recent summit.

It appears in this video that President Bush's approval is in a sorrier state than polls indicate. In a video taken at the G20 summit, Bush walks across a line of world leaders without shaking or being asked to shake any of their hands. Whether the President is being rejected by the world leaders or he is rejecting them, CNN's Rick Sanchez aptly says that Bush looks like "the most unpopular kid in high school that nobody liked."


I wouldn't be surprised if this interpretation is a bit excessive but it is pretty easy to see how he could wind up the skunk at the picnic. Being arrogant, overbearing, criminal, ignorant, obnoxious and grossly incompetent can tend to produce that effect in those about you. Being at the center of the destruction of the modern financial system at the end of your term doesn't help either.
