I decided to include the photograph of Hillary Clinton shaking hands with
Sen. Edward Kennedy prior to the delivery of the State of the Union by president
Bush because of the discussion that the moment sparked.
Did Barack Obama "snub" Hillary Rodham Clinton or was he merely turning
away to talk to Sen. Claire McCaskill instead? Would this have mattered had Sen.
Kennedy not endorsed Barack Obama earlier in the day? Outside of this
controversy, I'm not sure that I would have chosen this image. It is the
controversy that makes it a "Picture of the Week." In fact, had the controversy
not erupted, I would have included a far different image from the State of the
Union speech.
President Bush winks to a member of the audience prior to delivering
his State of the Union address, Monday, Jan. 28, 2008, on Capitol Hill in
Washington.
Take a look at all of this week's Pictures of the Week gallery-worthy moments and
vote for the one you think is most compelling.
