On Wednesday evening, as the senators gathered to vote on the 700 billion financial rescue package, Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, walked over to the Republican side of the chamber to extend a greeting to Senator John McCain of Arizona.
While it took Mr. Obama several minutes to make his way over to Mt. McCain, the actual handshake lasted barely a second, as Mr. McCain responded with a chilly look, at turn of his head and brief return handshake.
As Mr. Obama worked the floor of the senate, holding a long conversation with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York and walking around to greet other colleagues, Mr. McCain largely stayed near his seat.
Republican Senators wandered by to say hello, before he left from the chamber.
It looks like the Senator from Arizona needs a nap.
