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?
