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

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.

Obama didn't give Hillary the finger.

This guy did.

Posted previously. And yes, it’s a classic but subtle flippin-the-bird. The first time I saw it was when Will Smith gave it to Tommy Lee Jones in the movie Men In Black. And I have done it myself on occasion since.

I really don't see any innocence in Obama's gesture. He uses his intelligence for evil purposes (lying, obfuscation, cheating, etc), and he will always dart blur the truth.

I have news for Hussein: He cannot fool me, and he hopefully will not fool the majority of Americans.

How many people do you know that scratch their faces with their middle fingers? I could see index finger, or index finger combined with middle finger.

But middle finger alone? That just looks too unnatural and intentional to me, especially after he pauses after referencing Clinton to give the finger. It's all there. The flippant voice tone, the use of her name, the pause, the middle finger, the continuance of the speech.

Obama is really showing his true colors as a smarmy narcissistic punk who will justifiably fall very hard in either August or November.

Just watch the black guy in the orange shirt on the left. He picks it up right away. A typical white person might miss it.

Hmmm. I'm not sure he's consciously giving the finger to HRC there. I tend to think he's just displaying those ickily effeminate mannerisms of his again.

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. ;-)
