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 am an American Indian and believe me we know hand sign language and he knew what he was doing And in the second one, in front of different audience, he's so proud of himself, like a little 12 year old punk, that he adds more "gotcha" gestures....
How did we ever let a little racist, empty suited punk get this far?
He a light weight in the head - but he is a carefully polished, programmed puppet...it's the strings we need to follow back to his puppet masters - some of whose names we already have.
Wake TFU America! (and if any of my 15 grandkids saw that I even typed that, they would gasp_

He knows exactly what he’s doing and so does the crowd.

Yes it is. His gestures are exactly the same. Same timing, hands at the same level, same podium, same tie. No extra words. One starts sooner than the other so it has some words the other doesn’t. Just different camera angles.

ROTFL! He flipped her the bird and now he’s trying his toothy well-level best to weasel out like he’s done all his life. Sheesh!

How could I have seen your umpteenth rebuttal at #58 when I posted my remark at #20? You are jumping a lot of sharks this afternoon.

"What my gesture...really meant was...'up your nose with...a rubber hose..., Hillary!'" Except Hillary never could match the panache of Welcome Back Kotter's Vinny Barbarino, the originator of the imperative.

Make that "Obama could never match the panache . . ."
Actually, neither one of them holds a candle to Vinnie.

No big deal.
I flip the bird at the TV whenever either one of these two Democrat s___birds come on.
Same goes for their spouses and, come to think of it, any other Democrat.

Oh that they WOULD leave. . . Iraq or Iran. . .North Korea, would be great. . .or if they want a richer, green environment they could move in with Chavez; make a hone in N.Korea. . .go to Bolivia. . .Cuba. Think Haiti acutally needs them; and surely in Zimbabwe; they could be of use.
So many places. . .so little time; if ONLY they would take it. . .

The whole crowd gets it. You can hear the way their appreciation grows over several seconds as those who spotted it tell their friends. Its obvious. And he’s a liar.

Hes acting like flipping Hillary the bird, is a bad thingflipping anyone the bird, deliberately - twice - on national TV when you're running for the highest office in the land - IS a 'bad thing' =
It's the actions of a 12 year old punk - not a POTUS

For the 'doubting Thomases' of course, 'seeing should be believing' and twice yet.
