He was just indicating that she was #1 in his book.

I know several males who do that to express “the bird” furtively.

But they’re all from Arizona, I don’t know why. Maybe the people who cheered in the audience were from Arizona...

Anyway, take a look at 2:50. Either Obama is gesturing Hillary is a dog to shoo away, or dog poop to clean off...whatever, the audience understood the insult.

Earlier, he scratched his face normally. Then, a little after a minute in, he scratched it again—with his middle finger—while lingering over hillary’s name and smiling.

The audience certainly seemed to get it.

Gee, I’m no fan of either Obama or Clinton, but I think someone is over-analyzing. He’s just scratching his face.

“The audience certainly seemed to get it.”

Absolutely.

And if you look in the longer youtube video, he later gestures about Hillary more, as dandruff, and something half unseen I suspect has to do with shooing away a dog...or bitch he might be thinking..

It would be interesting if someone went back and created a montage showing that he's done this many times when speaking about Hillary. LOLOL!!!!

Hello, jerk.

Having fun with the personal attacks, there, buddy?

You may be correct, or I may be correct, but to me it certainly is not as clear as you and your ilk seem to (or WANT TO) think. Hey, I can’t stand Obama. But the audience’s reaction seemed to be to what he said (it started BEFORE the hand gesture).

But hey, what do I know? I’m just a stupid dupe, eh?

I think that Bush pic is a fake,

though there is a video of him doing it I saw.
