Media coverage lacking in US - see attached video

I watch a 10-second video where a lineup of leading Russians refuse to shake the hand of Chairman Obama. They did shake hands with the fellow who was following him down the greeting line. Dmitry Medvedev, I think. Did you see this on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or MSNBC?

This is "hard ball" Soviet Style. After the third handshake refusal, the snub becomes obvious. His facial expression is priceless. Pure exasperation. I guess we're no longer in Chicago.

And, how in the world did Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer, et al, miss this? If it had been Bush, the media would surely have covered it, over and over.

Has anyone ever seen a Head of State snubbed like this? It Speaks Volumes about what the international community thinks of Chairman Obama. It is going be a rough international ride for Chairman Obama, but the bloom is almost off the rose.
