Obama Fist Bump: What do you think of it?
It is the first Presidential Fist Bump on record. In addition to the traditional kiss on the cheek and hug, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle pounded fists in celebration of Barack's winning the 2008 Democratic Primary.

Answered I think the Michelle-Barack Obama Fist Bump was disrespectful.
I think the fist bump was done delibrately in public to show that" street hip " persona that he wants to project but I don't think it has impressed real people who have real problems and need a serious LEADER of the free nation. Most of middle America doesn't want a RAPPER mentality for a president. And I also don't think that it will help him win over Hillary's voters. Fury Girl -

Someday when you fall madly in love and are one with your man you will realize this is not "rapper" mentality but being REAL!
My husband died on our 23rd wedding anniversary-I would give just about anything for one more high five or ass-pat from him-ANYWHERE! Get over your narrow mentality-I pray one day you have a man who is not afraid to show his love and union with you EVERYWHERE! -
The black fist bump does not have a place in politics, it's people like you that are so fuckin passive and let everything happen and then bitch about it. You probably voted for Bush, and agree that fags should get married and raise children too. Politics are serious, this isn't no fucking basketball game!

McCain isn't black and ignant like Michelle is. Don't get me wrong I don't like McCain either, but if that is the mentality these people bring to the White House; which by the way - may be repainted to reflect the new residents with island colors; then we are in for one hell of a reem.

We already know Bush is a moran and he does stupid things and also lies to everyone, and is also racist -'Katrina". we are talking about the black people that won the primary and made a gesture that even though white people use is really a Black Ghetto gesture. Do - you - un- der- stand?
The rise of the fist bump presages a time that is perhaps less willing to reveal itself. Look up the clenched fist in the Nonverbal Dictionary -- yes, there is such a thing -- and you will find that it signals ''an aroused emotional state, as in anger, excitement or fear.'' -
i dont think some people realize what they are saying. black people give dap, saying what up or hey how you doing. the fist pump is saying good, job im proud of you. any my husband and i do silly things all the time, we love each other. this issue really isn't a race thing.

This is the dumbest fuckin argument I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!! There was nothing disrespectful of this and when was it decided that this was invented by black people. The last I knew it became popular because Howie Mandel is a germaphob and doesn't like to shake hands. You are reaching so far it is not even funny. There are people dying, starving and our economy is in the proverbal crapper and this is what you want to argue about. GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This isn't about "being madly in love in private" or "playing football "This is about the world watching us and sizing up who will be LEADING the USA and a sporty fist bump is not how I would want the world to see us. As far as you and your man goes VERY SORRY for your loss my dear,I really mean that.

do half of you people live in caves? This is so beyond trivial but I had to respond. LMFAO at the fact that we are now analyzing a damn sign of solidarity among a husband a wife and made it into a racial issue. Wow. This country has some of the most intelligent citizens around. No wonder we're so revered (ROFLMBAO)

Why is everyone so damn worried about what they do as a couple. George Bush's daughter is a hoe but I do not hear people complaining. What the hell it was just a fist bump. Americans kill me -

I was waiting for this question to come up.
I think it showed how much she supports him and I think that's a sign of teamwork.
All couples should encourage eachother in some fashion and I see nothing wrong with the way they choose to.
Kind of like saying " GOOD JOB! " -
When anyone does it, it's in a game - This is no fucking game Jimmie boy!
And let me tell you that when she did it, it wasn't no "GOOD JOB" - ignorant moran! It's a black distasteful gesture done intentionally and initiated by the more racist and mad side of that so called couple. You probably think that the whole church thing which they claim to attend every week for 20 years, married in and had their two little ones baptised in is all really a misunderstanding and they never heard that "Wrong" guy say anything that was anti-American. HELLOOOOooooooo! What are you some kind of moran or are you some kid bored out of his mind that likes to write stupid shit? -

Oh, good grief...! Disrespectful to whom? I've gotten outside of the courtroom and pumped my fist in the air in victory. If I'd had co-counsel, I'd have done a fist bump...
