It was probably the first time a potential first couple gave each other dap on live television. It happened Tuesday night before Senator Barack Obama gave his victory speech in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Obama and his wife Michelle gave each other a fist bump, followed by a thumbs up from Michelle, and a pat on the backside by Barack. When Obama introduces his wife on stage, he often refers to her as 'my rock,' because he admits that she keeps him focused and grounded.
On the other hand, "Michelle refers to that effort as simply -- 'Keeping Him Real.' She does this by making sure Barack travels home to attend family events, ballet recitals and parent-teacher meetings. Michelle even went the extra mile and purchased two MacBook [sic] laptops for Barack so he and the children can have video chats over the Internet.
Now that the public has seen the fist bump, the Internet is abuzz with talk about the fist bump, its origin and the significance of the gesture by a presidential candidate and his wife.

For the last six years I have asked myself "will the real America please stand up"? I really hope this is it.

It took me by surprise... I wondered what kind of feedback they were going to get from the 'pound'. Let's wait and see...

I thought this was fantastic. To me it paralleled a kiss on the cheek for good luck. They owned it.
