Bumps on a Blog

Fisking Obama's power fists. Sloping toward drilling. Tilting Democrats. To Heller and back. Plus much more.
p> WE'RE ALL TERRORISTS NOW br> Re: Lawrence Henry's The Making of an Icon : /p> p>Mr. Henry wins the award for being the first columnist to explain what us common folks already knew. And now that everyone else knows that the Obamas are on the down-low, I have this simple request of them: STOP IT! Good grief. Have some dignity. Grow up. It's one thing to do it on the playground but for crying out loud! You want to be the most powerful man in the world, but it's the equivalent of catching your parents making out on the couch: you're embarrassed, but mainly for them. And they aren't even doing it right. br> -- Andrew J. Macfadyen, M.D. br> Omaha, Nebraska /p>

There are several symbols that would fit the Obama campaign better than the fist bump.

It was David Broder who characterized the later stages of the Obama fight for the nomination as especially being retreat. Obama's numerous shifts in position since then have made Broder's choice of word prescient.

Thus, the main symbol for the Obama campaign should be the white flag. Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger won't like the color, but that is further reason to recommend it. And both Reverend Jackson and Ralph Nader have suggested that Obama seems to think that that is his good color.

p>And the main signifying for the Obama campaign should be executed in the following way: Two people face one another; both raise both hands above their heads; both slap both hands together. It's the High Ten.
