This article has a link to an interesting piece of video of Obama giving Hillary Clinton the finger during a primary debate. It’s interesting, because Obama used the same dry, indiscreet delivery when he referred to Sarah Palin as a “pig” a few months ago. Obama has always seemed kind of humorless, but now I see that he does have a sense of humor. It’s just a bullying, sly sense of humor that’s not really funny. I’m surprised that so many women have expressed their intention of voting for him, because he seems to have some negative issues with women.

I think both were intentional (the audience behind him gets the joke in both videos). I think he hesitates in both because he is deciding whether to go ahead. Big Media always covers for him; they always have a lame excuse. He gives himself cover both times. In the ‘finger’ video he (inappropriately) first touches his little finger to his lips. In the ‘pig’ video he brings up McCain (out of context) and enables himself to silence his critics by using a ‘lipstick on a pig’ comment from McCain from the Senate floor. 0bama is smug. I don't think he's smooth at all, just another Dem narcissist who thinks he's above social constraints. Remind you of anyone else?
