Obama Denies Flipping Hillary The Bird
Presidential Politics ^ | 4-19-08 | unknown

Posted on 04/19/2008 1:11:54 PM PDT by Anti-Hillary

The Obama campaign denies that Obama gave Hillary the infamous one-finger salute:

A spokesman for the presidential campaign of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has criticized The Ticket for making a "false and childish accusation" in an item Thursday that the candidate's one-fingered gesture during a speech that day might have been the finger aimed at his Democratic Party opponent instead of an innocent finger aimed at brushing his cheek or scratching a scratch.

As displayed in a video clip, Obama was criticizing Washington for its gotcha politics in general and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton specifically as being "in her element" there. As he mentions her name, he brushes his cheek twice with the middle finger of his right hand.

I posted a clip yesterday. While the flip maybe subtle, the crowds' reaction at that precise moment was what convinced me. It is also worth noting that Obama gave 2 speeches that day in NC and "scratched" his face at the EXACT same time in BOTH speeches and got the same reaction from two different crowds. They obviously knew what he was doing.

Here is the clip from the other speech. Check out the womwn directly behind him. Then play it again and watch the women to his right. They ALL react at the VERY moment he "scratches" his face. Not to mention the crowd hoots and hollars.

Personally, it is not that big of a deal, but it does show that the guy has NO CLASS!!!!!!

The fact that they are denying it lets me know he did it on purpose.

Well, OK; Obama did not 'flip her the bird'. . .Safe to say that is true; there really was no 'flipping' here. Better to say, he just offered her a cheap shot'. . .

No question, Obama knows the 'art of hand-language'. . .

And those who love him most; could not be happier that he sent Hillary a message. Which in turn, should be a message and a warning to those who are still wondering 'who Obama really is'. . .

Thanks; great in 'slow motion'. . .and having mentioned Obama's talent in the 'art of hand language' ; please note the hand/arm thrust when he speaks of Hillary; following the 'finger message'. i.e. just before, he offers she was taking every opportunity to. . .get a dig in there.

And yes, the two women in the back 'get it'.

More incredible in slow motion. . .

Names mean things and this jerk IS an 'obamanation'.

I was hoping you were right about it being two speeches, because I strongly doubt his jesture was an accident, and it woudl be nice to have proof. However, it is very clear that the two links show the same speech from two different angles. Compare the stammerings and jestures. Persons behind him are different only because of the camera angle.

Same speech, two different locations, same finger goes up....both times the audience clearly understands what he did. What a little low life creep. Disgusting, really. Hardly presidential.

People better start imagining the guests hanging at the White House with Obama.

For starters; Rev. Wright will probably hold regular candlelight services there; and invite the Congregation. The Rev. will probably be Obama's 'spiritual council' as well. (Sorry Jesse. . .) The Nation of Islam 'goons' will be the ones' jumping on Lincoln's bed. . .and Ahmadinejad and Hugo will be dining with our Marines, 'serving'. . .while 'Hamas' parties in the garden. . .

Obama will probably have as well, 'Nation of Islam' body guards; watching his Secret Service body guards. . .
