Bush Gives Female German Chancellor Uninvited Neck Massage At Summit

At first I thought this was just weird. Then I looked at the photos and the video. The chancellor looks rather surprised at someone suddenly touching her neck from behind. This is sexual harassment in any other workplace, isn’t it? And it’s rather inappropriate behavior for any man, let alone the president of the United States at a summit with foreign leaders.

You’ll find the photos and video on this page (http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/new...

  • There is something very wrong with this guy.

  • Bush is a mental midget. A Baffoon, if you will. All he needs is the curly shoes and the jester’s hat.

    But that’s why he’s in the oval office. He’s a cardboard cutout facade for the machine. He was never elected. BNoth ’00 and ’04 elections were lost to the other party. But that didn’t stop the machine

  • Shrubya looks like he’s on something. Maybe he had too much Schnapps. But, notice how Chancellor Merkel is repulsed by him. One of his handlers better get Condi over there ASAP. The Fearless leader needs her badly.

  • The president may have been out of social form but clearly he meant the Chancellor no harm, but her reaction was simply drama and uncalled for.

    • Don’t make excuses for that idiot. At best, that kind of laying-on-hands is a manifestation of a control freak. At worst, his libido got the best of him and he just wanted to cop a feel. Shrubya is the worst of the worst and is an all around embarrassment.

    • He is only being badly received on sites such the likes of Bellaciao.

      All of the people at the shop (male and female) are happy and glad and appreciative of Bush touching the Angela. The boys are really hooting it up and the girls are dismissing it with their "country outlook". Protocols (let alone common decency of a man invading a woman’s personal being) be damned.

      Thus, for me, it just goes to show how all classes of Americans are birds of a feather.

    • I am not making excuses. His behavior was out of social norm. What I am saying is he meant no harm. No more. No less. He was—of course—aware of the media in the room. The Chancellor was playing into drama.

    • She looked like she was carrying a lot of tension in her shoulders & he probably picked up on that. It was still inapropriate behavior for any politician and I’m sure he regrets it. I reached out to help a co-worker this way once at lunch, but as soon as my fingers touched his shoulders I felt him tense up more & I moved my hand to just rest on his shoulder. I still apologized later & told him I did not mean anything by it. But I would have never done it at a meeting.

      Bush was definately out of line on this one.
