There has been so much made about the fist pound between Barack Obama and his wife Michelle prior to his speech on Tuesday, June 3 in St Paul, Minnesota. While this is just a pop culture move that is a great way to point out that the Obamas are considerably younger than the other candidates who were running, it is not the fist pound that bares scrutiny.
As I watch and – thanks to the media – rewatch the fist bump, I see what came after it. Barack Obama slapped his wife’s rear end. This shows a blantant, put in your place, degrading to females attitude. He is not a professional athlete celebrating the most recent accomplishment with his same sex teammate. He is suppose to be the Democrat’s nominee for the president of the United States.
Does this pat, or “love pat” as I am sure the campaign will spin it if it ever makes the news, give us a look into how Obama feels about the place of women? Does this pat show respect for his wife, the mother of his children? Does this pat show us a side of Obama that has not yet surfaced as the media love affair with him continues?

This love pat shows that some people are ignorant and hateful enough to NIT PICK on every little thing that a presidental candidate does. Even something as INNOCENT as a love-pat on his wife. IT’S HIS WIFE, dumbshit! If you were married to a hottie like Michelle (slim yet curvy, pretty) would you NOT want to Slap Dat Ass every once in a while too?? My wife’s ass is a bit curvy like that, and I hit it almost every night (and we have 1 beautiful daughter as a result). I ocassionally slap that ass in public too. It’s MINE. I can give it a little love tap if I want to! And vice versa!
This has nothing to do with his “attitude towards women”. It has to do with jealous people not appreciating genuine affection! I personally could not TRUST a candidate that doesn’t love and cherish his hot wife enough to give her a little “love pat” in public every once in a while. It’s not like he was grabbing her ass cheeks and tongue-kissing her on the stage!
Bottom line: If you GENUINELY love YOUR WIFE, physical affection is bound to slip out once in a while. A kiss, a knuckle-pound, a love-tap… it’s genuine affection.
Deal with it, grow up and move on!
Unfortunately, your comment about your wife’s ass being yours is just what I am getting at – it’s an attitude that the public should realize towards women. Thanks for helping prove what I was saying.
Obviously you have no one in your life giving you a ”Love Tap”. My ratiocinations deduce: JEALOUSY!!!,Deal with it.
P.S. Get a life
I am really happy, Fallensnow, that you have such concern for my life. I have plenty of people that can and do give me love taps but, like most of the civilized world that is not on “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette,” we like to keep our displays of affection a little more private.
I will say, though, that the cult like following that seems to come with Senator Obama’s followers, especially when it comes to taking criticism, is disturbing at best and something that media should look at.
Dude, the only kind of men that doesnt slap their wive’s ass when in a good mood are fags and dickless husbands. Real men slap their wives ass. It is territorial, it is celebratory, it is alpha male. Period.
