Wondering why the crowd went wild when Obama brushed the dirt of the debate off his shoulders the following day?

Yeah, probably not.

But the youth vote & lots of African Americans know the pop culture reference, making him all the more endearing to them...

Obama plays this little game all the time with the kiddies. Can't wait for the First Couple to bring hip hop into the House!

And a Yahoo News article on this moment in pop culture history:

And the Washington Post w/the video of Obama:

And if you don't get it, well all the better. Because that means you ain't hip enough, like the Obama Posse is.

How did I find out? Kids at school were all about it yesterday.
