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.

He’s a lying coward if he doesn’t admit to it.

How did we let a little racist empty suited punk get this far?

WE didn't. Empty headed liberal idiots and those that are not but not interested in what is going on in the world did.

Think Nova Scotia would be beautiful;

Nova Scotia IS beautiful = been there a couple times recently. Fell in love with it and the people.

It's a lot like our country used to be a few decades ago -

Might not be a bad idea...

He did not flip “her” the bird because she was not there. But I agree he was being childish on purpose and both crowds reacted.

Clan of the Cave Bear. LOL just kidding. I am a member of the Yurok tribe in N. Calif. just south of the Oregon border on the coast. The Klamath River is our highway. We are only about 5000 in number but yet are the largest tribe in Calif. No casino but they are talking about one and have been approved for it already. (I'm not in favor of Casinos personally)

OBAMA: Forty-five minutes before we heard about health care, 45 minutes before we heard about Iraq, 45 minutes before we heard about jobs, 45 minutes before we heard about gas prices. I don't -- I don't -- I don't blame Washington for this, because that's just how Washington is. They like stirring up controversy and they like playing gotcha games and getting us to attack each other.

RUSH: Washington? Washington? The debate was in Philadelphia and it was ABC. By the way, do you not love the way ABC is being attacked by other Drive-By networks as well as the kook fringe leftist blogosphere? Folks, Operation Chaos has tentacles that have gone far beyond the presidential campaign. Operation Chaos now has taken root in America's newsrooms and America's networks. But Mr. Obama, 45 minutes before we heard about Iraq, I know everything you think about Iraq. I've heard it in 21 debates. I know everything you think about taxes. I've heard it in 21 debates. I know everything you think about jobs, gas prices, I've heard about it in 21 debates. What I haven't heard is the answers to the questions that you were asked on Wednesday night. The questions were perfectly justified. Can you imagine any great NFL quarterback after a loss talking to the press about how bad the referees were, how unfair circumstances were, how bad the play calling was, basically blaming everybody but himself? This is what Obama sounds like. This guy is coming off very amateurish. Whining and crying, this man is not a leader, ladies and gentlemen. He's whining about the questions he got in the debate, and it's embarrassing to listen to him whine.

By the way, have you seen the videotape where he's talking about Clinton twisting the knife in? Have you seen the videotape? He sticks one finger up as he's scratching his face, and it's the bird. He's scratching his face with the bird finger as he's talking about Hillary, and he's talking about the Drive-Bys and their tough questioning. You know, this guy's a spoiled brat. He is a spoiled brat. He's had it easy. You know that story he told about, "Well, I am not an elitist, my mother was on food stamps." You know where he was where his mother was on food stamps? At some elitist prep school, some private prep school somewhere that cost a lot of money to get into. (cont.)

Obama Whines and Moans

I played both videos at the same time in separate windows with the audio from both playing at the same time. I was eventually able to sync the two where every single hem, haw, breath and utterance is identical.

It's the same event recorded from two different angles.

Indian casinos can be good for a community. It has certainly improved the fortunes of the local Paiute-Shoshone tribes here and increased revenue and tourism to our town.

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.

Yes, absolutely - he 'gets it' - and yes, he IS a liar; and as bad; a gambler, who takes the risk; counting on his getting away with this; and is willing to take the chance to prove it.

And in addition to 'speaking' to us; it should be screaming a 'WARNING' - especially, to those who are 'Obama-inspired'.

Well, the 'flip' was NOT there; but the finger-message was definiely sent. And 'childish' - well, think you are too kind here with your assessment.

Think Obama was appealing to the most crass - and what appears to be a majority - of his Constituency. It is degrading to behold; degrading to be included in his 'street-smart' communication; given that he is trying to appeal his way to the Presidency. And 'street smart' is a huge insult to the Office itself; and to those American's who respect it; and those around the world, for that matter.

We have already 'been there' - eight years of another Presidency - with that kind of crass, smug arrogance.
