DRUDGE HEADLINES WITH OBAMA FLIPPING MCCAIN THE BIRD

Drudge Report ^

[GOPinCa]

Drudge has pic of Obama flipping McCain the bird on top of his site!

[HungarianGypsy]

I was agreeing that it was impossible for it to have been accidental.

[Yaelle]

I am not being sarcastic. I didn’t think it was deliberate. But at this point, if it helps us, fine, let it be. You are right that in both situations, he was talking about them. No one has yet come up with a clip of him scratching his face thusly while he is speaking about raising taxes, so who knows? Maybe he is that immature.

[stockstrader]

Yes he has.

Liberals everywhere are SALIVATING at the mere thought of a LIBERAL THUGOCRACY.

A vindictive, crusading liberal EXTREMIST THUG in the White House,,,

with democratic control of the House,

democratic control of the Senate,,,

and two or three Supreme Court appointments.

No wonder they are saying that by Wednesday---they will feel like they 'died and went to Heaven'!

[Kodie39]

Sorry, it was a general comment to everyone. Nothing personal, you just happened to be the last comment on the thread. :-)

[PghBaldy]

After this, the time against Hillary, and the rap-inspired brushing dirt off his shoulders- he comes off as a petulant teenager, who thinks he’s sly. A classless bore. It will VERY tough for me personally if this jerk is elected. He knows how much criminal actions he has gotten away with so far, and feels invincible. A dangerous individual.

That was an accident just like all of this is an accident:

Obama propaganda posters versus Communist posters of the 1930's:

1) "Noble Leader" portrait treatment:

2) Radiant savior/ Messiah treatment:

2, v.2) Glowing, floating head/ coin profile treatment:

("The symbol of peace- symbol of socialism.")

3) Radiating symbol/ "O" / Soviet seal:

(This one supposedly says: "Bread and Friendship are our basis." But note the radiant treatment of the communist seal behind it.)

4) Environmental Theme:

("We will care for the Earth like a flower to promote Peace.")

obama is a punk...just like the punk kids you see in the neighborhood or wherever...that is obama’s maturity. Just like the ‘say it to my face’ comment...only a punk says that.

My thought exactly. The "Punk-in-Chief" is what we're looking at here.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Yes. Go look at the picture on Drudge.

Worse than that...I have noticed on the few occasions I have watched The One speak, how he is always wiping the corners of his mouth. It really grosses me out.

[ponygirl]

Oops, that Che poster is modern, not from the 1930’s. Same graphic treatment though.

[Boagenes]

He’s an adolescent with a Messiah complex.

[RDTF]

looks that way but he also is scratching his face

[HungarianGypsy]

No worries. :)

[TMA62]

Why would this PUNK do this now? It was deliberate since purposely did it twice to Hillary.

Is he that confident of winning? Or has he already seen internals that he has lost this race big time?

[SunStar]

It may have been deliberate (you will never know), but if we latch all over this (as Drudge has done) then we look like a bunch of desperate idiots. It may be red meat for the base, but it sure isn’t something that we can easily defend in a debate (IMHO).

Umm, it's the day before the election and Drudge has a picture of Obama flipping McCain the bird. Count your blessings, dude.

[mdyson]

Besides acting like a thug, Obama looks really ragged-like a super “bad” night.

[bricklayer]

“Does Drudge think there is something to this?”

Put on your thinking cap!....uh, by the way...uh, welcome to the party.

[torchthemummy]

I hate Odummy, but I’m not sure he was really flipping of Mac.

As others have noted, he has done this before to Hillary. Twice as he brought up her name as he "congratulated" her and her effort. This one with McCain is a carbon copy except in this instance Obama goes first with the index finger and scratches and then switches to the middle finger. He either forgot to initially go with the middle finger or he used his index finger first as a cover.

The point, newbie, is the moment he did this was as he "congratulated" McCain just as when he was "congratulating" Hillary. It's supposed to be clever in a plausible denial kind of way but comes across loud and clear - underneath his supposed cool demeanor rages a person with no real soul but an angry socialist thug born of an unstable childhood and the most nefarious of mentors that molded him into a clandestine candidate.

[torchthemummy]

This is a bit of a stretch. It may have been a Freudian thing, but it doesn’t look like a conscious move to me.

No offense but it would seem that a screen name of "PsyOps" would indicate an interest in Psych Ops or any subliminal message that Obama has "accidently" done before.

While this may be a stretch, the fact remains that any major candidate's senior support staff would have drilled home the fact that coverage at this intensity means you are careful with every gesture you do, particuarly when it comes to touching one's face. I remember during the town hall debate with McCain, Obama picked at his nose a couple times and it was less than presidential.

The bottomline: right at the point that Obama was stating a congratulations to McCain was surely a moment when one makes sure that ones body language isn't misinterpreted to mean the opposite. As far as I am concerned I believe it was done on purpose because it was at a key moment that the networks (talk about Pysch Ops) surely would use a clip of.

Such a nasty low class thing to do on national tv.
