No Fist Bump Snub
Reports yesterday that Barack Obama snubbed a child who requested a fist bump with (from?) the likely Dem nom were, apparently, erroneous.
ABC News PA staffers provided this transcript of the fist bump convo, relayed to On Call by NBC/NJ's Athena Jones:
On Obama's way out of the Zanesville, OH, classroom after signing autographs for students on their drawings/scrap paper...
Child: Can you sign my hand?
Obama: If I start that… plus Mom might not be happy when she comes home. She'll be like "What is the dirt on your hand?"… See ya…
Child: Can you sign it in pen so it will come off?

What he really wanted to say is "If I start that, I have to do it for everybody."
The next time a kid says "sign my hand," sign his damn hand. Think of it as a temporary tattoo.

Here we go; the media doesn't have Hillary Clnton to kick around, so now its Obama time.

I propose calling this scandal Bumpgate. It will go down in the history books.

"Liberal media" strikes again. Always ready to believe those blacks are trying to hide their terrorist tendencies.
