Obama and Biden: No Handshake

Why didn't Obama shake Joe Biden's hand?

When he reached the podium, he greeted the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, with a handshake.

Although Biden stuck out his hand, Obama just sort of nodded at Biden.

Did Obama know that Biden was out of Purell?

UPDATE: Obama did shake Biden's hand once immediately upon his arrival. However, after Boehner introduced Obama, he turned around to shake Boehner's hand. Then, Biden held out his hand and Obama left him hanging.

Here's video:
