Hey, me too. The only politician’s hand I ever shook was Howard Dean’s. With Obama I would be two for two.

Well, the Obama handshake does pack the body language lexicon into its fingertips. His hand on Bush’s shoulder, the way he embaced Laura’s hand with both of his speaks a chapter: he’s inclusive, not self-centered (Bush’s stiffness illustrates circmspection) and, in leaning towards his “subjects,” says “I’m people orientated.” Hell, yeah, I’d line up to shake his hand!
