Which one will claim that Barack and Michelle were using some secret black power fist gang signal to call blacks worldwide to arms?

The presidential campaign—well, one in particular—has introduced a new greeting to the political world: the fist pound (also known as daps). Last night, we saw perhaps the most high-profile pound of all time, as Michelle and Barack Obama bumped fists on national television before he took the stage.
What’s hilarious is watching the formal, AP Stylebook-loving media trying to figure out what to call it. In an article about Obama’s body man Reggie Love, the New York Times called Love’s preferred greeting a “closed-fisted high-five.” Last night produced other assorted references:
“Taking a fist-pound from wife Michelle, Obama stepped to the podium Tuesday”—MTV.com
“Michelle Obama (L) gives her husband, Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Senator Barack Obama, a knuckle-bump as a sign of support before he speaks to supporters.”—Monsters and Critics
“At 09:09:27 Central Time, Michelle Obama gave Barack Obama a pound in St. Paul, Minnesota.”—Lola New York
“I never realized how romantic and respectful and mutually appreciative and loving a frat-tastic fist bump could be. Could it be the new peck-on-the-cheek?”—The Frisky
“... Obama, who was joined on stage by his wife Michelle, with whom he shared a celebratory fist-bump.”—Reuters
“Obama, began with a loving fist to fist thumbs up with Michelle.”—Capitol Hill Blue
“Michelle is not as ‘refined’ as Obama at hiding her TRUE feelings about America—etc. Her ‘Hezbollah’ style fist-jabbing ...”—Human Events
“I loved that moment, when they touched their hands together like that.” --Commenter, bjkeefe

Michelle IS his greatest asset.
You can read her lips and she said "give me some", and then he dapped her down.
That is some sho nuff, I got you r back love.
Beautiful.
Little black boys, pay attention. Little black girls, pay attention.
REAL LOVE. I'm talkin' bout real love.

I love the way Barack looks at his wife and speaks about his wife - you can tell that he really adores and respects her as the black queen she is. As a black woman that is a beautiful thing to see.
More sad days ahead for black fold. I don't know what's more offensive, bourgeois or NEGRO (or the slang, if you prefer).
