I think you’re right. BO had a radical guru even as a child. [The name slips my mind.] That man directed him to key high rollers in college.
I little update for this thread:
LA Times took Obama to task over this.
And this:

Post 19 shows three youtube links of him flipping Hillary off [although I could not confirm/landline here].
The thread of that same link is the LA Times turning on BO.
The gaffe is already backfiring. And if he did, in fact, flip off Hillary repeatedly, that not only explains a lot about him but also his supporters.
Willie Brown on Fox and Friends saying that lipstick is owned by Palin now and he has got to remember that.
