These are the mistakes that cannot be made when the next US President takes the reins. We are skirting disaster internationally; we have internal failure economically as well as socially, and environmental repercussions that will impact mankind. This unfortunate behavior, coupled with his careless statements about his off hand commentary of dealing with Pakistanian issues and lack of reality about Iraq, leads me to believe that Obama is not presidential material yet.

That is a huge leap! if someone followed anyone of us around and snapped a photo they could play it up as any number of things, you cant tell from that photo if someone else was trying to get his attention or what! I am not an OB fan but the way this is presented is so typical of the old spin tactics game. Next week they will be throwing Ms. Clinton under the bus again its good for the media and ratings game but little else!!!

The excuses from Obama supporters about his once again childish behavior. Obama claims that Clair wanted to ask him a question and he turned to answer it. So what does that say about his judgement and grace? He HAD to see Hillary.....and he should have made an effort to be gracious. IF he was diverted, he should have acknowledged the person and THEN greeted Hillary. His judgement is off, and his childish, prvileged character took over, once again. How is he going to be with foreign leaders? He "should" know the polite rules of this society, and can't handle them... how in the heck can he be with foreign leaders? Scary. Inexcusable. At the picture of him and his new BFF Teddy, leaning in, buddy buddy looking at Hillary. Two photos... telling. Obama, "could have" been a gentlman and made his way to Hillary then. Oh my the Uniter shows his colors. Get this Obama supporters...he will just as soon turn his back on you too. Even George W. Bush, maybe not a good president....yet ALWAYS a gentlelman. He would have NEVER done something like that.</p> Amazing. The excuses from Obama supporters about his once again childish behavior.

Petulant and childish...we have seen this behavior numerous times from Obama. 1) the likable enough comment. 2) the threat of knowing about dirty politics from having grown up in Chicago. 3) the remark that HIS supporters might not support Hillary if she were the nominee, hinting that perhaps he might not be uniting behind the nominee. AND now this childish dissing of a colleague when she walked over to greet Teddy and Obama. Obama has had to explain his immature behavior over and over. Come on....we have had 7 years of immature and petulant...do we really want that again? Obama snubbed Hillary….The pictures tell the story.

Shame on him. And he preaches "I'm a uniter- not a divider". Not only does he sound like George W. Bush, but he apparently acts like him too. His word obviously can't be trusted.
