Found this interesting tidbit from Lynn Sweet. barry has a habit of snubbing folks on the Senate floor…remember what the coward did to Hillary Clinton? What was clear - his fellow senators snubbed him by making him walk out there by himself even though he was legally appointed and sworn in. Where is this new Washington barry talked about?
FOOTNOTE: After the speech, Obama went around shaking hands. When Obama came near the area when embattled Sen. Roland Burris was standing — alone at this point and looking a little forelorn — Burris waved at him a few times.
Obama appeared not to respond. And the president certainly did not reach out. I don’t know if this qualifies as a snub, but it was a brutal reminder of the tough time Burris has ahead now that he has decided not to resign in the wake of controversies stemming from his appointment by ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
