I am sick of this crap, aren't you? Christiane Amanpour Gushes as Obama Shakes Hands with Castro

There is no sense of decorum here, let alone right from wrong. She just exhibits enough phony, sickening sweet, self-righeiosnous to make us all need a shot of insulin. m/r

The PJ Tatler » Christiane Amanpour Gushes as Obama Shakes Hands with Castro

… Barack Obama declined even to attend the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Instead of attending, he dispatched a pair of former secretaries of state to attend.
Obama attended the funeral of Nelson Mandela in South Africa and addressed the service. He also mixed and mingled, and CNN had its cameras trained on his every move, capturing this revealing moment.
“Castro! He’s shaking hands with Raul Castro!” Amanpour shouts as Obama seeks Castro out, bows to the Cuban dictator and takes his hand.


After Amanpour gushed over Obama’s shaking hands with the head of a brutal communist regime that once aligned itself with the Soviet Union and has oppressed the Cuban people for decades, CNN’s Chris Cuomo was quick to defend the president.
And that handshake obviously was a huge moment. But not to be misunderstood, the handshake with Raul Castro, the president of Cuba, we believe was President Obama showing respect to Nelson Mandela and the occasion of today, the spirit of reconciliation. Of course, it will be dissected politically. …
No matter the ongoing political disputes, on this day, it was about something bigger. It was about forgiveness and reconciliation, because it was about a man who was bigger: Nelson Mandela. And that is what the tribute has been all about today.
This moment might have been less significant had Obama not snubbed Thatcher after she passed.
