The crowd sure responded enthusiastically.

One time, just a scratch. Two times, cooincidence. Two times at EXACT SAME LINE “in her element”....hmmmmmm

Was the “3am” announcement of Biden a coincidence as well?

[El Cid]

This guy is shaping up as the Eddie Haskell candidate.
Act like a punk to give your supporters some 'yucks', and when called on it -- respond that you're shocked (shocked I tells ya) that anyone could think that you meant such a thing. 'Gee whiz Mrs. Cleaver, I would never do anything rude...'

[DadOfFive]

The master of the double entendre. If anyone thinks it's coincidental, as well as the pregnant pause in the lipstick quote yesterday, I've got some fine swampland available for you. But us simple morons in flyover land would never "get it".

If Obama didn’t plan to insult Palin with the lipstick on a pig comment, he wouldn’t have paused for the audience to “react”.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I think this was the SAME PLACE, just two different angles.

[Doug TX]

He only makes the ‘flipping off’ gesture one time. As far as I know, there are no other examples of him doing this before or after.

The only person who does this is a punk...literally an immature, young degenerate. It is shocking that this guy is in the running for the presidency and all the more reason why he must me defeated.

The clip should be forwarded to your favorite BHO voter or PUMA.

He gave the message he intended, his supporters responded exactly as he expected, and he intentionally kept a straight face throughout, to maintain plausible deniability.

If he didn't intend to flip the bird, or hadn't realized it, he would look shocked or confused. He doesn't. He consciously maintains a straight face.

Just like with the “lipstick on a pig” comment.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, really should not be burning bridges he may have to cross over again. It is not out of the question that Joe Biden may even yet be dumped from the ticket (remember Sargent Schriver being sent in for Tom Eagleton in 1972).

And the logical substitute? No less a personage than Herself, still the Cold and Joyless. Clearly an act of desperation by the Democrats, but remember, boldness and desperation look a lot alike to the casual observer, and sometimes, it carries the day.

Herself is a much more savvy and battle-hardened combatant than “Slow Joe” Biden, and knows when to turn on the power when it is called for. Whether that would be enough to intimidate Governor Sarah Palin, who is also a pretty strong competitor, is an entirely different question.

Of course, the old “reward” of giving the Vice-Presidential candidate first consideration when picking nominees for the NEXT election, would set Herself right up in the power seat.

If the Obama-Clinton ticket should, against all odds, then be elected (a possibility never to be counted out), Obama’s life would not be worth a plugged nickel. Either he would resign for reasons of “health”, or a mysterious ailment would cause his early demise.
