Obama's Fist Bump Dissected Minutely By Media (VIDEO)

The media has a new fixation, and it's Obama's fist bump, or dap, or pound, or whatever you choose to call the handshake he and his wife Michelle exchanged right before his speech claiming the Democratic presidential nomination. Below is a compilation of the media dissecting this handshake, or in the case of Fox News, this "terrorist fist jab":

That throwaway line..terrorist jab is simply evil. There is no explanation beyond malicious intent. A responsible management would come on the air and apologize for such an embarrassing smear. But then you have Ailes a former GOP hitman as boss and Murdoch.....

I love how news careers are now built on mocking Fox News. There's worse things one could be doing, like actually generating Fox News. Thanks, MSNBC for hitting these clowns.

Oh god, if we gave the Daily Show only 30 more minutes a night....

I saw a few of our brave troops in Iraq doing this tonight. It was a news clip from MSNBC this evening.

fox news is no good...

I guess the guys on my Slo-PItch team and I must be terrorists, because that's exactly what we do when a guy gets back to the bench after putting one out of the park.

I can't believe the media are wasting time on this crap. What a pack of nitwits!

So what do you call Howie Mandell of "Deal Or No Deal" fist bump? Howie won't shake hands - he fist bumps all of the contestants because he's obsessive compulsive. Does that excuse E.D. Hill's stupidity? No!

I want to attach this to my other post, but it's not been accepted (yet), but...

Has Fox shown any video or photos of known terrorist using this jab to back up their smear?

If not, what are they using as their sources? Oh, that's right. Fox doesn't use sources, only innuendo.

Anything the Conservative Right Wing fascists can do to imply that "O" is other than a "true American" will be tried. Fox is just another one of their mouthpieces and will be glad to help spread the smears. Does Fox even report news anymore or just fling sh*t?

Dang. Black people, we need to come up with a new thing to do now that white folks have caught on to this one. I got it. The elbow dap..... :-)

Yesterday on ABC Good Morning America Diana Sawyer and Robin did the jab, so does that mean it was a terrorist fist jab?

[letuckerchicago]

That was hilarious! Diane and Robin sticking it to Fox"News" with humor and aplomb!

[nikto]

Does this mean the ENTIRE NFL, NBA etc etc are Terrrrrists??

Who woulda' thunk it?

All this fist bump stuff is soooooo ghetto. Can we get off this?

Poor ED Hill. She was sacrificed on the Fox Altar of Stupidity. She probably thought that she was doing her job - since that is how Fox does things. Unfortuantely for her, this was so ridiculous, that not even Fox could spin it.

I am African-American, around my place of employment we fist bump everyday when we greet each other, even my white co-workers. Fist bumping is nothing new. I have always viewed E.D. Hill as out of touch and a bubble head. This isn't the only stupid comment she has made through the years. Cheers FOX. Send her packing.

You're right, this is so yesterday...
Shows you why the old white guys should get out of the way and let the next generation take the helm. I'm an old white 50ish broad and I love Ali G!
Michelle is going to make a cool & beautiful first lady. What a cute couple!
