Found this at Red State. A poster detects an angry Obama:
"After losing the debate tonight, Obama gave Hillary the finger today. I don't know if he intended to do that hand gesture in his pause while talking about Hillary, but it is obvious the crowd thought it was an intentional raising of the middle finger.
See for yourself:

a short clip is given, though the full version should be viewed for all context...and the pause! From youtube direct:

Good stuff starts at about 1:00.
Yep you are.
He fools many ...some on our side as well... they are dupes.. and he will use them for his evil purposes against us.
I think either of the idiotic Dems would lose the election if the Republicans had nominated a grown up, but unfortunately McCain is prone to temper tantrums. Who knows what he will say or do to get himself in trouble between now and the election? The presidential candidates are all world class morons.
I don't know about the rest of you, but after viewing the YouTube vids circulating the net lately (specifically, the one of him bowling & the clip from that Bamboozled montage which shows him dancing with Ellen de Generes) my trusty ol' gaydar has started dinging at me like a geiger counter approaching Bikini Atoll.
Now, to be fair, that pronounced swishiness of his could very well be merely the consequence of the fact he was raised primarily by women.
On the other hand, it would sure go a long way to explain why Michelle Obama is such a nasty, ill-tempered shrew all the time, wouldn't it? The poor woman probably just ain't gettin' any.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)

He's talking critically about his opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, and the kind of distasteful gotcha politics that occur in Washington. And he says, "That's all right. Sen. Clinton looked in her element." Watch the video right then. The presidential candidate raises his right hand to seemingly scratch his cheek. He doesn't use his whole hand though. Just one finger. Briefly. A couple of strokes.He pauses. He smiles slyly as the crowd begins to mumble and then he tries, somewhat distracted, to continue his remarks, smiling as the buzz spreads through the crowd. He'll no doubt deny it later, but that mischievous smile seems to confirm plenty. And the crowd sure sees something. |
What the audience interpreted is irrelevant. I think this much ado about absolutely nothing. Obama simply touched his face out of nervousness or whatever - doesn’t matter.
Frankly, I really couldn’t care less whether he flipped her off or not. Doesn’t change my opinion of him one iota. I already had him at the very bottom of my respectability scale; he can’t go any lower no matter what else he does.
The only advantage, as I alluded to before, is that if a large number of people see this AND believe that he did flip Clinton off (which I find unlikely to happen), it could serve as yet another negative, and turn off more voters. But as far as it concerns me personally, it is absolutely inconsequential one way or another. There is no “duping” going on here or any chance that he will “use me for his evil purposes” (oh give me a break and check out some of my posting history, puh-leeze!)
Much ado about not much, as far as I’m concerned.
