Robert Redford was on the fence about receiving his 2005 Kennedy Center Honor from President Bush, but only agreed after he was assured it was a recognition "above politics".   He decided to do this for his family, but admitted:

"It was tough, but you have to shake his hand. You go through the motions because everybody's taking the high road. I was assured beforehand that this was an honor above politics, and I said, 'If that's the case, OK, I'll have to bite it.' It really was about my family and giving my kids and especially my grandkids a chance to see, firsthand, how a place like the White House operates."

I still love Robert Redford.  I just hope he washed his hands though.  I would hate to think he got cooties from the incident.
