Barack Fights the Smear

Barack Obama has started a new website dedicated to listing and debunking all the rumors about him from being a Muslim to refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance. There aren’t that many listed yet, but I assume they’re just getting ready for when the real smears start flying during the General Election.

THE FIST BUMP HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD

Time magazine provides a brief history of the “Fist Bump” Barack and Michelle Obama brought back into style the night he became the democratic Presidential Nominee.

Even the terminology used to describe the manual move is under dispute. On reporting Obama’s speech, The New York Times described it stuffily as a “closed-fisted high-five” while Human Events racily suggested it was closer to “Hezbollah-style fist-jabbing,” (the phrase was later removed from the article). One Internet poster even referred to it as “the fist bump of hope.” Other terms for the move include “power five,” “fist pound,” “knuckle bump,” “Quarter Pounder” and “dap.”

PLAGIARISM WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Many have compared Obama and Mccain to the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads. Obama obviously being the Mac. You could further see the visual appeal and ease of use on their websites with Mccain’s being more convoluted and difficult to navigate. So inevitably, Mccain is making some changes to his campaign to keep up with the young and vibrant Obama. Where better to start than with his campaign slogan and imagery, which is now up on Mccain’s website. But the Huffington Post noticed it has a striking similarity to Obama’s. You decide.

“Change We Can Believe In”

“A Leader We Can Believe In”
