Black People Politics : Obama Hug

[abstract219]

Did anyone see the video of the Pizza shop owner picking Obama off the ground?





Piggybacking on Bro. Khasm's "Body Double" thread. They allow this, then most def needs a body double.


Absolutely shocking. Never has a President been touched like this. That fool should have been taken down....quickly.

The President seems to be saying with his hands..."ahh...where is the security?"

Taken down for? It's one thing if he killed the President, it's another thing if he hugged him.

Fact is that if a man hugs you, chances are you allowed him to. Obama has agency--a lot for an African in America--I do not see the story here.

Is this thread about how security is lax for the President? Because I just don't see it. A man hugged the President.

More--it is my understanding that the President just doesn't walk into a bar--the place is thoroughly checked. In other words, this was (likely*) a man who passed clearance.

*I never met with the President so I do not know the protocol firsthand.

In the Spirit of Sankofa,




... Strangely, I can see both positions, especially this never happening before abstract219, but tend to lean toward ABSibling's assessment. Here's the news article:

Peace In,

Good points AB and Bro. Clyde.


It just seems awkward. Obama's body movements seem to be saying something else. A visceral reaction...his arms seem to be saying "what the----"...... too close body contact.

There a C side to this (the smoke screen). They could be setting up the scenario to blame Obama for letting people get to close to him, if something were to happen to him. Of course he 'passed clearance', but to pick the president up off of his feet without any security intervening?? They must have been told to 'stand down'.
