They're shaking hands with their left hands in the classic Muslim way. (They wipe their bums with their right hands, so that is an insult.) BO seems quite conversant with this custom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_the_Middle_East Among Muslims, the left hand is reserved for bodily hygiene and considered unclean. Thus, the right hand should be used for eating. Shaking hands or handing over an item with one's left hand is considered an insult.[2] Why would you lie about this? Counting on the ignorance of your readers is the mark of a dis informer.
I did not lie. I am not a dis-informer. I was incorrect. It is true that in_the_Middle_East Among Muslims, the left hand is reserved for bodily hygiene and considered unclean. Thus, the right hand should be used for eating. Shaking hands or handing over an item with one's left hand is considered an insult. Therefore, since Gadhaffi was shaking hands with BO with his left hand, it was a high insult. I knew there was significance to the left-handed handshake in Muslim culture, but my reliance on memory was faulty. The truth of that significance is more highly revealing, don't you think?
Well OK then. I suspect that the photo is simply reversed.

That is very astute of you, because if you look closely, BO's wedding ring appears to be on his right hand.
