Shaking the hand of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad shouldn't be embarrassing. I mean, it's politics. You're allowed to shake hands with Hitler if you think it'll help.

Maybe additional context was provided in the study so that doesn't apply?

There was a political battle over Obama's (supposed) willingness to meet with Ahmedinejad during the 2008 Presidential race. See this.

Wait, how many people remember that event (before clicking on the link?).
