Am I missing some type of protocol that makes these things acceptable, in international politics? ObamaHandshakeSnubbed Obama Snubbed In Saudi Arabia? Firm

Based on the incline of his head each time he reaches out (tilting to the side and not fully facing foward in a bow) and the angle of his hand (palm slightly up, relaxed, and not actively showing that he wants to be on equal footing with each person), I'd say he's making introductions instead of trying to shake hands.

Looks that way to me. I think someone is grasping at straws yet again.

Thanks Surata. On reviewing them again, I think you are correct. Despite the "other poster" above, I was really confused, and wanted someone else's input. Firm

I concur, looks like introductions being made tho I can see how folks could mistake that for snubbing.[:D]

Firm You were confused on whether introductions were "type of protocol that makes these things acceptable?" Sure you were.

quote: ObamaHandshakeSnubbed it looks like he was snubbed with the first attempt, then he just extended his hand in an uncertain type of gesture after that.
