The President's handshake [View all]

Yesterday the president attended a funeral. He exchanged required formalities with other world leaders and did shake hands with the president of Cuba. Fox news and the republican were all over it. Now there is a time and place for everything and in some situations one must be a true person of dignity, honor and culture such as the funeral of one of the most respected person in our time. This was not the time for political posturing or debate. The President did the appropriate greeting for the occasion. I would be a democrat if only not to be associated with people who seem to be ignorant, crude and have no sense of dignity or honor.
