Dap!

Have y'all heard about DAP?

Trailhead : Pounds


I saw the one Michelle gave him the other night when he claimed the nomination. She looked as if she was making more of a point at it than he was. She has a kind of defiant type of expression on her face.

Two Ivy League graduates mimicking inner city hoods!

Next thing you know he'll be wearing his shorts around his knees.

World to Obama - you already got 95% of the black vote.

 

[Larry Gude]

You guys...

...should consider starting to let go of the anger. Fist bump is as common in sports and offices and between friends of all walks as anywhere. When they start throwing up gang signs, let me know.

No anger here. Just spreading around the muli-culturalism of Obama to the masses.

Yeah, when the Obama's do the fist bump - it ain't no thang. But let Bush do one of his Texas-style "don't mess with Texas" thangs and the press is all atwitter calling him a cowboy, rebel, etc.

But - if Obama wants to be president of all the US people, then maybe he & Michelle ought to lose the black nationalistic/black power/black panther style gestures.

You all will have enough to be angry about if this man gets into office.

Obama...

...like W, and Clinton and 41 and Reagan and everyone else, wants to be president of 50% plus 1 of us. The rest can just fall in line.

He's been appealing to kids from the get go. Party on, dude!

Has Larry gone over to the dark side. No pun intended LMAO,but its there isnt it?

Define...

...'dark' side.

It seems reasonable to me that Obama will be our next president. As he will have accomplished that via the same process that gave us Reagan and Carter and everyone else, I'm good with that. I wasn't happy with Clinton, but, he did win. I can't expect my political opponents to ever accept the validity of my guys if I won't accept theirs. That doesn't mean they will, but I choose to not be as vitriolic as them which is why, as a conservative, I am usually happier than they are; I expect them to behave poorly or like kids.

Our system works. Messy as it is, it works.

Anger for stating fact? Let him do what he wants. It's getting to the point if Obama picks his nose on television, one can't even say "Hey, how disgusting!". If one does criticize the Messiah one gets branded as racist or 'bitter typical white folks'.

Gimmie some....

 

[vraiblonde]

I never knew that's what it was called - dap. And it never occurred to me that it's some black power thing cause white people do that all the time.

:shrug:

 

[MMDad]

My confederate flag flying, "N" word using neighbor does it all the time. I always thought of it as a redneck thing.

Barrack Obama...

...has the MOST liberal voting record in the US Senate. Barrack Obama's policy pronouncements of what he would do as president are socialist in nature and in fact including government run health care, confiscation of business profits and tax policy.

Barrack Obama has as mentors and influences people who reflect his policy pronouncements.

It is likely that President Obama will have a profoundly socialistic and leftist administration in order to affect his policy pronouncements.

How about we focus on that and not look at a fist bump as some sort of sign of inner city gang support?

 

[Bruzilla]

Hey, won't this "issue" take away time from worrying about flagpins?

 

[This_person]

Be happy, it keeps people focused off of Larry's post directly before yours here.

As for me, I've done this for a long time, too. And I'm about as rural midwest, balding, aging white guy as you get.

It does not seem reasonable to me that Obama willl be President and I will do my best to see that he isnt. IF he is elected it will mean that he is what the most people wanted. I pray they come to their senses,but if they dont and he is elected he will be the President and hopefully the promises he is making to get there will be blocked by people who are more qualified to make those decisions than he appears to be at this time.

Define the dark side, the pun or the dark side (liberal) of politics.

One is self descriptive, the other much more complicated.

 

[Larry Gude]

Well...

...I applaud you there. Take heart in that it won't be 'most' people. Only a little more than the 25% of eligible voters.

Small comfort.

Typically they are the smallest voting block, but if they all show up this year in droves to vote - more power to them!! Yes, I know what the polls are showing, but yada yada yada - they still got to show up in November.
