kiss or fist pump?

As I watch the Democratic Convention, I wonder...when did the basic handshake go away? Every time I see a Politian greet a woman, they give a quick kiss on the cheek as they shake her hand...OR, sometimes they give a fist pump to a man? Is everyone now a sports star? When did I miss this memo? When did we become so worldly? Do I turn my cheek when I meet someone new? Just wondering...

I think it is supposed to show that the people are close (like Biden and Obama), and that Obama in particular is different. And that he likes to kiss Joe Biden's wife, because he kissed her three times that I saw.

I can't wait for the political big sloppy tongue kiss to come into vogue.
