I know there are alot of crooked politicians in the world, but this guy is holding public office and outta hold himself in a little higher regard. I woulda put on a nice suit and extended my hand, or hell, even figure out what is the Dali's customary greeting and done that.

I'd show you, the Dali, and anyone I meet the proper respect, and it wouldn't be in the form of a fist bump.
I asked my wife and she thinks you guys get worked up over nothing.

Did anyone have on the audio? He said he wanted to him a custom there. So really what is so wrong with that? And to get it straight. That is not how he greeted him. He did it Dali's way then wanted to show him something that is done in the US. It wasn't a sign of disrespect.

When visiting different country's people normally get shown a thing or to that is done in that area. It could be smoking a peace pipe or taking your shoes off before walking into a house.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Mine is that the Mayor did respect the Dali Lama and was VERY excited to meet him.

It was a fist pump not the shocker.
