Sen. Barack Obama, according to the caption on YouTube posted just minutes ago, speaking to a friendly crowd in Raleigh, N.C., today.

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.

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.
