OBAMA SNUBS BERLUSCONI? Obama reportedly carried on walking, seemingly ignoring Berlusconi's offered hand.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is in the centre of another diplomatic incident, this time at the G5-G8 summit. Berlusconi was reportedly snubbed by US President Barack Obama.

At the G8 meetings earlier this year, Obama and Berlusconi arrived for a G8 group photo, the Italian Premier offered his hand to the American leader, but Obama reportedly carried on walking, seemingly ignoring the offered hand shake.

The White House later clarified that Obama didn't intend any kind of snub to his host.

    Berlusconi should count his blessings. I'd consider it a difficult task to have to grasp the hand of that lying Democrat dirtbag and maintain a smile.
