(Chicago Tribune) Amusing All this attention to the Obamas' fist bump upon securing the nomination is distracting us from the real issue - Barack might have grabbed himself some booty right after it, perhaps thinking about his reward later that night   (weblogs.chicagotribune.com) divider line 202

Well, considering Michelle's confessed uncertainty about whether Barack could actually beat Hillary Clinton, she might've said something back in January that she regretted on Tuesday.

I would hit it... she looks pretty hot in purple

I have no doubt that when the cleaning staff showed up to Barack Obama's hotel bedroom on Wednesday morning with water hoses, a belt sander, industrial disinfectant, new carpeting, and a queen size bed + frame.

I'm a little surprised that he didn't need a wheelchair and attendant to bring him to the AIPAC podium.

 
BobtheFascist 2008-06-05 06:15:12 PM  
I noticed that immediately. When Michelle walked off stage he gave her a little pat on the ass.

/As a good man should.

Also really shows what marriage is all about... it takes being a democratic nominee just to get some tang.

 
ArbitraryConstant 2008-06-05 06:18:25 PM  
The man has a marriage that involves sex with his wife? It's unusual for a politician, I'll grant you that.

 
GWShenlong05 [TotalFark] 2008-06-05 06:19:16 PM  
It's not clear where the presumptive Democratic candidate for president patted his wife before his speech Tuesday night in St. Paul.

A columnist at the Minneapolis Star Tribune says she did not see Obama pat his wife's derriere as she watched the speech on TV.

"However, some listeners to FM107's Margery and Ian Punnett show claimed to have seen this PDA when Obama was here Tuesday to claim the Democratic nomination for president," Columnist C.J. reports.

"Jeff Orcutt, a producer of the "FOX 9 Morning News," checked the FOX feed and said Barack's hand did not touch Michelle there, but up higher."


Oh what the eff. Even if he did, a married man expresses his pride and affaction by giving his wife a loving swat on the ass as he makes history? They're treating this like it was a female staffer or someone pulled from the crowd.

 
Cyberluddite [TotalFark] 2008-06-05 06:26:29 PM  
Wait, patting your wife on the ass is supposed to be somehow bad now? I pat my wife on the ass all the time. In fact, I am somewhat suspicious of any married man who doesn't pat his wife on the ass from time to time (unless she has a fugly ass that nobody would want to pat, of course--then it's understandable).

Ironically, the night Obama got the nomination and gave that amazing speech, he had almost as much sex that evening as Bill Clinton did.

Hellllo, Eleanor Mondale...

I know why some people are nasty towards Obama. They're jealous. They want to have a candidate like we have. But they are hard-headed and don't realize the only thing stopping them is themselves and their own hard-headedness. You can be a Obama supporter too.
Want to be a part of history? A part of something different? You won't have to keep defending impossible stances anymore. You can even change your screen name and join in the fun if you don't want to admit you've jumped. It's easy,simple and you'll feel better about yourself when you're done.

I'm so used to seeing fake douchebags in these sort of positions that I'm actually taken aback that he and his wife seem to sincerely enjoy being with each other.

That said, I hope she didn't get injured when they went to their hotel room after all that and he deployed the Commander-in-Pants on her.

Somebody call up the guy who wrote about Obama being immature because he didn't order coffee that one time. This'll knock his socks off.

Can't remember the name of the book, but it covered presidential boots-knocking - and in it, it was reported that Harry and Bess Truman used to snap bed slats with considerable regularity.

The more you know...

Rock on. I'm sure Senator Obama gets ass-pats from his wife all the time too.

If they're doing it right.

I have a feeling they are.

I am too, but I think for many the "legitimate reason to support a candidate" train left the station about... oh, I don't know when. Sometime before I turned 18 and eagerly voted for Reagan. You'll have to ask someone with a neater lawn, I guess.

Yes, and now after that comes the task of convincing as many additional people as possible to vote Obama as well. It's called a "campaign".

Years from now, your grandkids are going to ask who you voted for in 2008. And you're going to say you voted for John McCain. They're going to look at you like you just told them you voted for Walter Mondale. That look, that says "Who?"

Well, to be fair, this is the Politics tab, and the linked story is one about Obama. I don't think you can honestly be surprised that many people would be talking about the man.

But really, the ass pat by Obama was the signal to the rest of us as to where and when the underground orgy is going on. So of course you can't be too surprised that we're pumped.

NEWS!

Barack still bangs his wife! Can American handle a president that's still on speaking terms with his better half?

Tonight we have body language experts to weight in.

Michelle made the first move with the fist pump. Can we assume she wears the pants?

Would Osama Bin Ladin consider this offensive? Should we worry?

Many Many important questions tonight.

 
slobarnuts 2008-06-05 09:06:00 PM  
Remove all Republicans: Forget that. What are you going to say when they ask if you voted for the first African American presidential candidate, and you say that you would rather have a 72-year-old crazy white man who wants to follow the worst President in history's strategy of two wars with a third one?

PANCAKES!

Jeesh, my husband does that (ass tap) in public all the time. It's a sign of affection.

At least they still have the spark and look human.

Welcome to the Politics tab and the life of a political campaign.

If you don't like it, either try to convince Obama's supporters otherwise or find the door.
