Regarding the snubbing. I recommend you take a look at Michael Shaw's (BAGnewsNotes) deconstruction of the clip shown on American television in the context of a much larger bit of film. It is Shaw's contention that Bush was neither engaging nor receiving a snub. It appears that Bush was looking for his marks on the floor - as illustrated in the same behavior exhibited by others, doing the same thing. It was a carefully staged photo op.
Shaw, btw, is as meticulous in his examination of visual media as Glenn is on his examination of media in general.
Link at sig.
Shaw catches Bush, at the end of the longer clip, pitching one of his trademark hissy fit-sulks.
