I hesitated to include these four pictures. I couldn't believe the amount of time given to the one picture posted to the point of saturation, which is the fourth one of this sequence. Round tables were dicing and slicing what this picture meant. I would like to say this much: it is ridiculous to concentrate this much energy and time on the possibilities of what this picture meant. Meant? ~ Well, not really. The assumption was that it could only mean something regarding "to shake or not to shake". Seriously, folks. Does it matter? Truly. There have been important and relative character actions during this campaign. But to discuss for 30 to 60 minutes with panels of pundits about one Senator/ Presidential candidate and another Senator/ Presidential candidate and what was behind whatever is being implied in the fourth picture is pretty much useless energy and attention. Do you see anyone else in these pictures even paying attention to Hillary (other than Ted, one woman and someone I don't recognize)? Look at the others' attention and direction of their eyes. Were the others snubbing Hillary? Hillary says she put her hand out to Barack. It doesn't prove it in these four pictures. I think once again Hillary tried to use what divisiveness was being thrown about and framed it for her best interest and not based in truth. Hillary has lied before. And to me this is just one more example of Hillary adding fuel to a fire which at best is deceptive. Deception is a form of lying. I've had enough of lying with Bush.
