Bush Wipes Hand On Clinton’s Shirt (VIDEO)
March 26th, 2010 - 1:28 am ICT by Angela Kaye MasonMar 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The video embedded below has spread like wild fire across the internet. Two of the United States’ former presidents were in Haiti this week to tour the nation which was almost destroyed by an earthquake on January 12. The quake was a magnitude 7.0 and hit near the capital of Haiti, Port au Prince. It left over 230,000 people dead, 300,000 injured, and a million or more homeless. Due to the overwhelming job of burying the dead, tens of thousands of people were buried in mass graves.
While the two former presidents were in the country, they shook hands with many of the people of Haiti. This video clearly shows former President Bush shaking hands with Haitians citizens, and then …of all things… he turns and wipes his hand off on former President Clinton’s back. It looks as though he is wiping the sweat off of the palm of his hand onto the back of Clinton’s shirt. One video even carries the label, “George W. Bush Thinks Haitians Have Cooties.” Whether or not Bush meant the act in that way is not clear, but it was a hilarious “Doh” moment for the former president.
The two former presidents of the United States were visiting the country of Haiti to promote their Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The purpose of the fund is to raise money for the relief efforts in Haiti, where it is estimated that there are still 1.3 million people homeless.
