During today's memorial service for Nelson Mandela,
President Obama shook hands with Cuba's Raoul Castro. With that one simple gesture, the right-wing blogosphere went absolutely apeshit, calling Obama every name in the book, including "traitor". The handshake, they said, showed panty-waisted "weakness" on our part and provided the Commie "tyrant" with an enormous PR "victory" in the eyes of the world.
Oh,
please, righties! Take a deep breath and get over yourselves.
Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake.
After all,
Obama gave Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff a kiss on the cheek, and back in September she cancelled a state visit to the U.S. to protest NSA spying. And then he greeted German Chancellor Angela Merkel by unzipping his fly.
(Just kidding about that!)
