A little while back, we posted a list of rules for fist bumping. Recently, after securing the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama gave a passionate speech, after which he gave his wife a passionate kiss fist bump.
A few alert readers have pointed out that Obama was violating Rule #2 (If you are wearing a suit, you may only fist bump if you are drunk.). However, upon closer examination, I have concluded that this fist bump clearly falls within acceptable parameters for one reason: Michelle Obama initiated the bump!
Obviously, this bump is acceptable because Mrs. Obama is clearly female (Rule #8 states that girls can fist bump anytime they want), and Senator Obama would have been violating Rule #9 if he had refused the bump.
Bump on, Obamas! Bump with pride!

He sure as shit didn’t have part of his suit wrapped around his head.

I wonder if he pulled her aside later to discuss the rules…the last thing he needs is for McCain to call them out on this…

Some rightwing geezer gas bag called the fist pump a terrorist handshake and it means Michelle hates America.
Sadly, I did not make that up.
