Article I read said the the Mrs had been joking around with them shortly before pic was taken. With that said I think this is a reflection on society now with all the social media bs versys the way it used to be.

I was not surprised to see the two comrades shake hands

O & R shaking hands

both are good communist. Looks like O may even be bowing down to him some. Oh yea that's right, they were at a good socialist funeral.

I thought Michelle looked miffed in the photo. Mandela would have liked it.

that's the way it's always been, it's a corporation, you aren't going to kill the cash cow just because you don't agree with one of the board members....

Those are interesting. Looks like George W and Bubba are holding hands, but I suspect they are shaking hands.

As far as Obama shaking hands with Castro, I have no problem with that. He is not doing the two hand shake but is speaking to him. Perhaps something like "our two peoples should be friends and trade partners" or something general and friendly. A gesture like that could cause a thaw in negotiations for opening trade and lifting embargos. Cuba could rake in the dough as a vacation spot.

Hopefully our CIA has not attempted to assassinate Castro for a couple of decades...or invade.

Thanks for the link Jorn. Much more interesting than what the MSM had to offer, and certainly a far cry from the hyper-partisan BS...

Much ado about nothing. Someone should tell the Press ( and the President), sometimes it is not all about Obama.

I have been to funerals for CEO's, homeless people, war heros, fallen women.... I could go on and on. I have also been to many funerals for normal people.

I always follow the lead of the family. If they are hooping it up then I try to get into the sprit. If they are all glum I go all professional. It is their day and I am there for them.

There is nothing set in stone when it comes to this. My only hard and fast rule is to wear one of my better suits, and if the deceased was very poor I try to dress up as much as possible. It makes the family feel better to know that their loved one had at least one successful friend.

Obama never met a Communist he didn't already admire and worship. Read on......

Obama's Father was a devout, anti-colonial pro-Marxist. Like Father ~ like Son.

Remember, Barack Sr. was so repulsed with the non-Muslim freedom in America, he abandoned his Wife and Child for the 3rd World.

This is just old home week for Hussein meeting-up with his Commie buddies.

Every funeral since and including the late U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone's, (D) Minnesota - have been a pep-rally and fund-raising event for the left. Hussein is just doin' his thing.
