Obama Easley Fist Bump Spawns Surgery

North Carolina Governor Mike Easley recently had surgery on his shoulder which he said was a result of his fist bump with Obama.

The N&O reports that Easley had been having problems with his shoulder but realized that it needed more attention in June after Obama’s speech in Raleigh.

“He wanted to go up high with that right arm,” Easley said. “I was smiling….but I was like, ‘I gotta get this fixed.” Maybe the notorious fist-bump needs yet another name…any suggestions?

    Why no DIGG or email function?

    Email is right above the comments, obviously it isnt visible enough though.  Digg, well most of our stuff doesn’t make sense for that audience.  Thanks for the ideas!

    Easley’s whiter than Larry Bird.  I know a good doctor overseas that can probably pop that thing back in for him, and on the taxpayers dime too.

    Maybe they should name it the fist-bump of death.
