Yesterday the Obama pool report had an item that suggested the senator refused the fist bump of a youngster. ABC News, however, discovered the truth:

Here is the actual exchange based on a review of ABC’s video: Child: Can you sign my hand? Obama: If I start that…plus Mom might not be happy when she comes home. She’ll be like, ‘what is the dirt on your hand?’…see ya. Child: Can you sign it in pen so it will come off? The child rose his hand in a fist to get Obama’s attention as he asked for a signature – perhaps prompting the fist bump portrayal. Obama instead signed the autographs for the children in crayon on drawings they were working on during class.
