VIDEO: Muslim Americans Serving in the U.S. Government

Yikes! First the ObamAdministration reaches out to Muslim nations, then he addresses bin Laden, and now this?! Well, don't say the Rushpublics didn't warn us, that's all I have to say:

Embarrassing VIDEO-- Kyra Phillips' "Swagga" moments

In case you missed this... Could she be any whiter? Cringe Factor: 1000. "Let's hug it out"?? ... and do the bump? Really, Kyra? Here's a thought: Be who you are, and who you are is not cool, or black, or hip.



Ouch. It's like being in ninth grade... at a dance... and your parents are the chaperones.. and they decide to join in and dance... like teenagers... in front of your friends... and your secret crush. ::shudder::

And no, that never happened to me. But that video did.

Press gets the "fist bump" thing wrong... again

By GottaLaff

Here is a headline that was typical of what I read repeatedly this morning:

Obama Declines to Fist Bump

Now here's what really happened. First, the back story:

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Senator Obama received critical press yesterday for refusing to give a boy a fist bump while touring the Eastside Community Ministry in Ohio.

According to Tuesday's press pool report, Obama denied the boy, saying, "If I start that..." before trailing off and turning away. The interpretation from various news outlets insinuated that Obama was shying away from a greeting that was labeled a "terrorist fist jab" last month after Michelle Obama bumped fists with her husband on stage in St Paul.

Wowzers, he musta been really a-scared of the badmouthing he'd get from the press! What a coward! He'll be a terrible president! If he shies away from fist-bumping a little boy, how will he deal with terrorists?!

Well, it turns out the fist bump refusal was much ado about nothing, and much to do about a child hoping for an indelible Obama marking on his hand.

Oh. I'm sure the press will apologize. After all, they wouldn't want a misleading story about Barack Obama to start circulating needlessly.

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.

Obama instead signed the autographs for the children in crayon on drawings they were working on during class.

What a mean-spirited Muslim terrorist he is.

Bush 41 is a terrorist fist-bumper
