The State of the Union was best described tonight as the POTUS version of "Groundhog Day" -- same stuff, different day. I must confess that I fell asleep during part of it. But there is one buzz that seems to be surfacing. The exchange, or lack thereof, between Sens. Clinton and Obama.The Associated Press reports:
Rival Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama came within a foot of each other just before President Bush's State of the Union speech Monday night and managed not to acknowledge each other, and certainly not touch.
Clinton, clad in scarlet, crossed the aisle between their seats on the House floor and reached out a hand to greet Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Democratic icon whose endorsement she had courted only to lose it to Obama.
Kennedy shook her hand while Obama, wearing a dark suit and standing between the two, turned away.
It would appear that the "uniter" is not quite ready to ... well ... unite. Come on Obama, don't be a sore winner. I hate that.
