''Handshake Man redirects here. For the Banzai character, see Shake Hands Man'' Richard C. Weaver is a Californian man known by the nickname Handshake Man. Weaver has earned notoriety for frequently bypassing the US Secret Service and shaking the hand of the United States President. Weaver claims his handshakes are often used as a way of passing "notes from God" to the presidents. According to his site, Weaver is a born-again Christian who is married to Donna Weaver and has two children, Cindy and David.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20080517104732/www.richardweaver.org/weaverbio.html〕 He also believes that God has directly spoken to him and calls himself a "modern-day prophet".〔http://web.archive.org/web/20030212182353/richardweaver.org/Jonah_Jeremiah.htm〕 In late 2008, Weaver stated that he would not attempt to shake Barack Obama's hand. ==Pre 2001== Richard C. Weaver claims to have shaken the hand of four US Presidents after Jimmy Carter. However, with little evidence of such events, it is unknown if these instances actually occurred. The only confirmed event was the 1997 inauguration of Bill Clinton where Weaver managed to shake Clinton's hand. (However, Weaver does have a picture on his website of himself meeting President George H. W. Bush). Despite the incident having led the Secret Service to prepare for his return, Weaver was able to bypass security and meet the then recently inaugurated George W. Bush in 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard C. Weaver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
