Wow. I would be totally pissed if I was Obama. I wonder what setting that was? That's not only an insult on Obama but an insult on our Nation because, after all, he is our president.
Edit-
I guess it was Russian leaders. Here is one a little better quality.

From the looks of it, it almost looks like Obama is introducing the ambassador to people, and that a handshake was never in order in the first place...

The first couple times he tried shaking hands and afterward just used it to point with I guess.

Look closely, President Obama is introducing the Russian President or PM to the gentlemen on the left.

Hard to tell by that video as it could go either way.

I've never seen a former President point and introduce someone. I find it disrespectful. Clearly President Obama introduced the Russian dignitary with a proper hand gesture. Obama wasn't expecting a hand shake.

I would have thought, with the person on the right, it would have been proper to introduce with the left hand and not the right. That's why, to me, the first part looks like a handshake.

Yeah, I just watched that again and it does appear that he is just introducing the dude behind him. Look as he points at each one you can see his mouth moving as if he is saying their names or something. Also note that his hand is palm up and flat; it seems like if he was trying to shake their hands it would be sideways.
