Obama Throws the "Fist Bump" Under the bus.....

The wheels on the bus go round and round....

Is Obama ditching his signature fist bump?

According to Tuesday's press pool report, the Illinois senator refused to bump fists with a boy as he was touring the Eastside Community Ministry in Zanesville, Ohio.

As the boy outstretched his first, Obama said no and added, "If I start that …"

His voice then trailed off.

The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate popularized the move last month when he and his wife Michelle bumped fists on the night he formally captured the party's presidential nomination.

The man has no chance if he can't at least stick to his guns on fist-bumping. Geez, of all the things to shy away from; that gesture alone was worth a few million votes.

Why is he always such a phony, trying to hide stuff? The bump was actually kind of cool.

Damn you Obama!

Oops

Make that "God Damn You Obama!"
