As much as I dislike this charlatan I’d still like to think the POTUS would not be THAT immature

Zero was incoherant at that speech. He was all over the place. Maybe he heard NBC was FINALLY going to do a story of GW/CC.
Or maybe he is having the long aticipated breakdown.
Shooting Stars burn out really fast.

He certainly has a problem with head scratching. Someone needs to check him for nits.

Didn’t he do this on one of his campaign speeches in 2008? I believe that also was Hillary Clinton related.

These gestures were intentional...why do people continue to give him the benefit of the doubt. He NEVER made a secret of who he is.

He’s always doing that. Shows you the man’s mentality.

This was very drawn out too—look at the look on his face while he’s doing it.

If true, that would be the third time he’s pulled “this middle finger scratch” trick.

Just compare the two—it’s exactly the same deal.

Politicians are trained to be careful with hand gestures. Notice how they all point with their thumb atop a closed fist for emphasis on something rather than the Clinton "I did not have sex with that woman" finger wag.

So, any middle finger gesture Obama makes is deliberate.

Where I am from, he would be called a “dick” and any of us would bitch slap his sorry a**. I’ve seen him throw (like an 8 year old girl) so I doubt he has that appendage

Yes. He also did it once when mentioning McCain. It's not even all that subtle - if I recall correctly he'll mention the name, pause, scratch his lower lip with his index finger, then extend the middle finger. I could see it happening by accident once...maybe. But this makes three times he's done this that I know of.

Check it out on youtube.
