sheez…is this for real? I thought they’d already exhausted this pseudonews item!

I think the fist bump is very childish..I was disgusted when he fist bumped his repuslive wife…so why not fist bimp a child it really is more appropriate….
I can’t stand this guy!!!

bo is a fraud

Where’s the relevance?

I guess you need to be part of an exclusive group.

Fox is actually the Fraud..They failed to give you the rest of the story which was very pro Obama. Oh and Cassandra your the one that is repulsive!!

Foxnews, I am watching you!!!
This is how you feed the world with half truths. The news was not that he refused to bump the kid, but yet you have an headline that is two days and UNTRUE.
God Bless America

what’s with the fist pump it’s like obama invented it or somehting that’s been around for ages or is obama really trying to take credit for that to

Read what actually happened. The kid wanted him to sign his hand and Obama said the boys mother not like that.

Hey Cassandra learn how to read before you write a comment.

Who Cares - obama is a FRAUD! Yet another political trick to take attention away from the fact that this guy is NOT qualified to lead our country.

If some of these readers had any investigative sense, they would find out that he refuse to sign the childs hand and cautioned that his mom probably would not like someone writing on him with a marker. Sen. Obama had spent some time in the childs classroom autographing the pupils art work.

Is Fox this hard up for news?

ABC has video that shows this never happened. I am sure Fox will correct its story.

Is this all you have?

All I have to say is did any of you notice Obama is going to add more taxes on for more programs? OK now just how deep in debt is the government already? How many programs are now on the plans for the people, all those “freebies” he has planned and the $4000 to every child to go to college and now all the volinteer programs expanded and given more tax dollars so where does he get the money? There are not THAT many rich people to tax and we all know that jobs are quickly leaving this country so he wont have them so where will the money come from? Not to mention the congress still needs billions for their pork so they can buy votes and contributions to their campaigns so where will the money come from? Do you know there is an English lady who lives next door to me and her brother died waiting to see a heart specialist in England? He needed treatment in Jan. but couldn’t get in to see the specialist until Aug. he died in July, why? Because they have a shortage of Doctors. Seems the Doctors don’t want to pay for years of training to make what ever the government wants to pay so they don’t have enough and the medical care they have is not all that peachy. Is that what we want here? There comes a time when we need to just say NO!!!!!!!

To heck with his bumping hands or not, I’m more concerned with where the tax money for all these promises Obama is making will come from, medical alone for the millions of people in this country will cost trillions. Look at the cost for one person to get proper care. Then we have prescriptions and sergeries and special cares, the treatment for hep runs into 100’s of thousands and there are many people in treatment now. Does anyone understand just how much all these promises will cost and just who will be paying for it? then you add doubled social security onto that, then the college funds, and on and on, where will the MONEY come from?

Once you get past that we need to stop and ask ourselfs why Obama needs to reasure Americans he is patriotic, no other candidate has to do this so why would he? Then we have his need to re-enforce his cristianity, this he would not have to do if he had not blocked the living infanant act because he does not value the life of a baby. Why isn’t he focusing on cutting the budget spending and not increasing it as our country is so deep in debt. Why is he still using pork? Why does he try to hide this? Why were some of his bills he wrote to reconize people and not balance the budget? What is it with him that he can not see we do not need more taxes and more spending but less? And maybe he does not find gas prices going up so high a bad thing but the rest of us do. He can still afford his jet and SUVs and eat out, it’s the rest of us that can’t.

I am confused. Having WATCHED the actual video, there is no fist pump at all. He graciously signed autographs but refused to sign someone’s hand. He, and i have no actual proof, probably signed the student his autograph already. What did he do wrong that makes him a fraud? I would like to hear real reasons why people don’t like obama!!! Not his middle name (racist) or his patriotism (unwaranted). I would suggest being fair to Mcain as well.

I can’t believe people here are actually petty enough to put Obama down for the fist bump and call it childish.

I’m 33 years old and I do it with my friends all the time. I’m sorry… maybe McCain’s way is better.. instead of a fist bump, he does the “wife dump”.

name the news sources. maby fox?

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.

Here is the video.

[...] Fox Embeds [...]

I JUST TURNED 18 YRS OLD I’M VOTING FOR OBAMA AND CASSANDRA SUX (BIG TIME)

Jim said it.

Fair & Balanced? FOX got it wrong again. It was not a fist bump the little boy was wanting, it was an autograph on his fist……………Look Listen and Learn you right wing morons.

Let me see. He’s insulted the Blue Collars, the Jews, Women, the Religious Right, the Catholics, almost every American who saw him sucking up to Rev Wright and waffleing after that desaster. Now he’s going after the kids. This man has no shame.

Go McCain!

There is enough real reasons to dislike Obummer–why focus on this petty stuff? Let’s have some real reporting, Fox, because you are the ONLY ones who even come close. The heavenly light that surrounds this fake messiah has blinded CNN, et al. Please, some hard news!!!

I fist bumped myself and I kind

of liked it at first but it’s not what

your thinking and wait…….

you have a dirty mind!

go bama

This is news? Your reporters are reduced to passing on bits of trash from the tabloid heap…

I’m actually surprised that Fox ran this item. After all it was this same network that eluded to Obama’s fist bump with his wife as a possible “terrorist fist jab.” Perhaps Obama was afraid Fox would call a fist bump with a child a “child bomber solidarity tap.” By the way Cassandra, grow up. You sound so ignorant.

BO and his team really love attention like this. They realize that anything is better than talking about the issues!

Jesus Christ! Is this even newsworthy?

You all look good at video.The kid wanted his hand sign not fist bump.

Foxnew is McCain web site.

racial site foxnews.

Cassandra, if you are a mccain supporter, you are probably pushing 100. its not your fault you’re behind the times.

Fox News, why not present this story as accurately it happened?

hey cassandra and who knows, THERE WAS NO FIST BUMP OR ATTEMPTED FIST BUMP. the kid wanted an autograph on his hand and the future president refused. If you have or plan to have children, would you write on their hands? I can’t stand narrow minded people like you. You have no reason to hate the guy, but you do. I wonder why………….

The fist bump is nothing new. BSNBC will never report Obama doing anything wrong.

What has obama done for americans lately?
he has used race to win primaries
he has trashed clintons.
he has divided the dems.
he has insulted women“sweetie“
he has showed us “what arrogant means=obama“
he has told us true meanings of SNOB,ELITIST,S*XIST,RACIST,SAME OLD POLITCIAN with brand new copied speeches
he has shown us that its okay to copy speeches
he has shown us “how to flip flop effectively
he has shown us “how to make MSM his pet and keep them in his pocket `where his phone vibrates
ha has shown us “why some americans r bitter “
he has shown us what `a typical white person looks like
he has shown us his greatest racist ever priests and friends
he has shown us ——NO MORALS,NO VALUES,NO PRINCIPLES,NO CHARACTER,NO CLASS……

The “media editors” that ran with this as “news” without verifying it should be fired. CNN and others made a big deal out of Obama refusing to fist bump a child and the facts weren’t even close to that lie. If laziness is going to be the norm from the media then we the people are being denied real reporting. Start firing people who are this lazy or continue to watch your numbers fall.

See what happens when people don’t check out rumors? A lot of people like Cassandra have blinders on….they don’t look at both sides…they would vote Republican if Donald Duck were running!

Can hate read?

He did not refuse to fist bump the child!

He refused to sign his hands (since that might upset him mother who may have to wash it off).

Guys, girls, chill a bit. Examine the reason for the hate. Deal with it. Then make the best choice based on policies and facts alone. You will suffer and endure the consequences not McCain or Barack or any other top politician.

what utter nonsense. Cassandra check the FACTS before you vent. That’s the entire problem…everyone believes rumors and don’t wait for the truth.
If Donald Duck were a Republican some people would vote for him. Check out both candidates and the truth before making a decision.
This country is in a big mess because of the current administration…yes some things were not their fault but most were esp this war which should have never been. Let’s rebuild our own country first!

I understand why you right wingers are so bitter that you think a fist bump is news. Your candidate has no message, no charisma and no chance in November.

Everyone who voted for Bush is to blame…he has ruined the Republican party….the Reagan Era Conservatism is over…get used to change….it’s inevitable!

In answer to you comment, Chris re being 100 years old to vote for McCain.
I am definitely NOT 100 years old, far from it and I AM voting for McCain. I cannot afford to have my taxes raised, pay for government insurance for illegals when I can hardly afford my own and when I sell my house I don’t want to loose half of the profits to capital gains tax which Obama say he WILL raise. You are young and that is a good thing. You have the rest of your life before you, but you had better do some serious thinking about your future and who would make a good President. You may be right and I may be wrong. Please, just study both parties issues and what they are planning on doing.

This article is very telling of his lack of compassion.

CitizenLink: Obama Blocked Born Alive Infant Protection Act

http://www.citizenlink.org/content/A000007034.cfm?eafref=1&eafref=1

To MaR: I loved your comments. I was starting to think everyone had been drinking his koolaid. I hope others are at least questioning what BO has done, what he really stands for, what his true values are. To BO supporters: at least try to take an unbiased look at BO. Open your eyes and ears. Use your intelligence. What you’ll see will surprise you. You’re being manipulated and fooled by the same old time political strategies and tricks that have elected politicians in the past. When you grow up or become more experienced, you’ll see this better.

More than half of the people posting on this forum do not seem to have actually read this article. This sort of rampant ignorance really angries up the blood.

You all are pathetic putting this much energy into finding reasons to dislike one side or the other. Look at the issues and decide for yourself. Watch the coverage of both sides and realize the job of the media is to get you heated up over petty nonsense. If you view this site I’m sure there is enough intelligence left in you all to not to get burried in schoolyard arguments and to just stick to whats important to you. Embarrasing!

Obama has done nothing! His supporters critrize a war hero. That is sad. What has Obama done for this country that makes him qulified to be Pres of this Great country. I am a democrate, but I will vote for a war hero any day!

Laziness

First. Where is the relevancy to this story? I’m sure you could have found something much more
newsworthy for your readers. Try the economy…job losses…high gas prices…Irag…crime…education. A plethora of topics of interest to the American voter.

Secondly. Obama did not…repeat: DID NOT REFUSE to FIST BUMP (or as Black folks call it… give him some “Dap”).
The young fella, wanted Obama to write on his fist with a marker. Obama refused, stating his mom might not approve, etc.

Get it Straight…or DON’T GET IT!

if you haen’t got a comment that hasn’t a right wing slant you are barred from commenting?

funny how the original story doesn’t mention the kid asking for obama to autograph his hand- even though you can hear the kid ask, plain as day. ah, fox news: what happens when obnoxious frat boys run a news department. scratch that- make it 10 year olds.

oh, and where’s the apology for altering the NY times reporters’ photos? what a shock that I can’t find a retraction, apology, or barely a mention of it on this website even though the entite rest of the world has caught them red-handed.

it’s amazing that a media outlet can be “fair and blanced” while it has it’s head up it’s *ss.

“I have not equivocated on that position,
I am not searching for maneuvering room with respect to that position ,”
he said.
“I’m just puzzled …”

YES YOU HAVE! YES YOU ARE!

WE THE PEOPLE CAN ALL SEE YOUR LIPS MOVE WHEN YOU LIE,
CONTRARY TO YOUR OWN CLEVER OPINION OF YOURSELF.

BO is a fraud

We don’t care about this. Where’s the debates? Remeber Obama said he would debate McCain anytime any place and now he avoids debating and talking about the issues. Obama also changed his mind on bringing the troops home. He has already told the Canadian government he is not going to do anything about NAFTA. Obama is a liar and a fraud. I don’t trust Obama. Thanks DNC for giving us the weakest candidate. McCain will do a better job than Obummer.

I ask. Where is the initial comment I made earlier today? Once again, FOX has blundered. Either report a story accurately, or forget about it!

Why not report something of substance and newsworthy to the American voter??????

Cassandra: You are absolutely right about Michele. She has run of the mouth, it runs like a river. Yes, Obama is a fraud but hides his true self from the public and they are eating up his words of hope and change that were from the speeches of RFK which Obama has a book on. Rush is right when he said Obama can’t do anything for himself. How would he run this country. McCain is far more experienced in politics and foreign policy and knows what Obama has not learned yet. Any candidate that attended a racist church for 20 years is racist themselves. And any person that would vote for a candidate with that background is not a true American. McCain is a true American and I will be voting for him even though I am democrat.

MaR: I could not have said it better than you. You are right in everything you said about Obama. Yes, he did trash the Clinton’s along with his friends Nancy Pelosi, Dean and Reid who all went behind the scenes to the superdelegates to make sure they voted for Obama by making deals with them. Obama is a fraud, wheeler dealer and would cross anyone to get what he wants. Its time the American public woke up and started thinking before they vote. Obama cannot run this country because he doesn’t have the experience in know what to do on day one. He doesn’t know one thing about foreign policy. What a mess this country will be in if he is elected. And I believe he will become a dictator to an extent.

MaR,, nail on the head!!!!

Obama refused to head butt a child.

I told you he was not a good guy!
