For crissakes people.
This is a nontroversy (love that word) but it speaks to a larger issue.
You guys are doing what Dems always do. Acting afraid. Playing not to lose. Worrying. Whining. And wimping out.
Waaaaay too many of you are running around like goddamm chickens with your heads cut off over Barack's "refusal" to fist bump a kid.
Now, I'll give you "moving to the center" and "capitulating on FISA" and stuff because even though I don't think those things are true, they are complex issues that can be debated.
But god DAMN it you guys are suckers if you think Obama really refused to fist-bump a kid.
Follow me, please ....
Here's the story.
Here is the actual exchange based on a review of ABC's video:
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?
The child rose his hand in a fist to get Obama's attention as he asked for a signature – perhaps prompting the fist bump portrayal.
Now, just STOP IT. Relax. Take a deep frickin' breath. Then maybe step away from the blogs for a little while. Get some sun. Eat an apple. Kiss your girl (or guy).
Then come back when you can see things a little more rationally, mm kay?
