The Dap!

I really should have known better. I did not suspect the simple fist pound would create so much hoopla, making headlines at CNN and other news outlets around the world. When Michelle gave Barack the dap, moments before he claimed the democratic nomination, I fell in love with Michelle Obama. It was also another subtle cue among many that Barack Obama is the leader of my generation. It signified to me that he understood my generation, and wasn't a part of the elders who have been leading this country for the last 16 years. As the Seattle Times puts it, "Black people and those younger than 50 are a demographic that in the past few months has come to be known by another name: Obama voters."

Thanks for the link Mom!
