"Hezbollah style fist-jabbing" ?

WTF? I'd laugh if I didn't think they were serious...

Watching those two before the speech you can tell they are still fucking like rabbits and loving every second of it.

But I could not get over how damn glamorous they both looked. Camelot's back and this time it's black!

#5, yep, it should be a relief to have a president that's still getting laid.

@4 Does it matter if they're serious? That shit is funny. Consider it a new part of my vernacular.

Man, I can't wait to have them in the White House.

That's awesome.

@ 4 i dont think theyre serious. Hezbollah will have u beheaded if u give them old school high fives.

anyway, for the record, they look like a loving couple who actually like each other, and mrs obama looks and presents herself like a class act.

Maybe they were placing their orders for some MF'ing iced tea

@5 is right.

My guess is the McSame and Clinton peeps are too old to know what that is (fist knocking) and are probably using their rotary dial phones to ask each other "what was that"?

Hezbollah style fist-jabbing followed by a Jihadist-esque thumbs up?? sorry...

Forgive me, I'm a middle-aged white gentleman who seldom leaves Seattle, and then usually only to Iowa. I haven't known anyone who spoke jive since Barbara Billingsley and I had that fall-out over John Davidson. Is "fist knocking" like "knocking da boots"?

I'm as white as a white ghost at a white sale and I regularly bump knuckles with my 3 yr old godson. does that mean we're planning the demise of the Great Satan?

I think he gave her a little slap on the ass too. Sexist!

Next you should talk about things like how he didn't refer to September 11th even ONCE! And he thanked his ~brothers~ and ~sisters~ in the opening.

Who can blame him? I'd pound Michelle every chance I got.

@18: 'fraid so. The fact that neither you nor your three year old are aware of it just shows how deeply you've been programmed.

#24 - sweet. I'm sending that little bastard to flight school, post haste.

Wait, I thought that meant one of them was supposed to turn into an eagle, and the other one into a waterfall or something.

Germ-transmission avoidance! And pandering to youth culture!
"But it turns out the youth-oriented greeting - called the dap - could be a healthy alternative to the handshake during cold and flu season."

I am still all teary over Obama being the nominee and he goes and does this? It says so much about them as a couple-they are partners who respect each other.

It is going to be so great to have them in the White House! Just think what she'll give him when there is peace in the mid-east!

Just as with JFK's wife, you know that half of the straight men in America want to be knocking boots with our Future First Lady ...

If you don't believe me, ask your (old) dad or grandpa.

They were probably laughing their ass off in succeeded conning the Dems to nominate Odrama.

The fist bump I'm waiting for is the one between Obama and Hillary.

I'm a fag and I love me some skinny cute blk guy like Obama. I get all hard imagining him in his sexy voice saying "suck my c ock whitey".

#31 - No they conned the super (stupid) delegates into nominating him.

Believe me, Michelle and Barack call it "daps"

For those of you not up on certain Urban words like daps.. www.urbandictionary.com is great for explaining. Especially if some of you have kids, and you have no idea what they're saying. You can go look up their phrases or words..

From the Urban Dictionary:
daps

To knock fist together as a form of greeting,

True dap! And from a presidential nominee, no less...a little untraditional, but definitely appropriate and on target with his campaign strategy. What's more, if you saw it live you could see Obama's wife mouth the saying, "Let's rock them." (or something to that effect)

When you think about it though, it's a shame that dean had to suffer from conservative media commentary after showing his excitement, but now it's okay to bring a little street credit into the mix? Have we come that far in 4 years? Or is the media just considering the subject? Hmmmm

Anyone past the age of 30 who daps is CHEESY! Doesnt matter what race they are.

I don't know what a "dap" is. That's the Wonder-Twins activation signal. My dorky husband and I do it all the time. I did'nt know Hezbollah had co-opted it.

Here's we go, when the obama gets his first presidential visit from he stick out his hand and say "give me some skin brotha". In Cali where I'm from that "IS" a gang greeting. I know what I'm talking about since I'm in a gangsta rap group DARKROOM FAMILIA. OReilly wouldn't be making it up. Check out my site for some real "Gs". PEACE.
