36. Is he elitist or rude and crude?
Shit on a stick, no elitist would ever flip someone off by scratching his cheek. He'd shove his hand right in the face of the target and drawl out the words go fuck yourself nice and slow so they'd probably get the message for a change.

49. Not at a video taped speech or meeting he wouldn't..
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 04:57 PM by Tellurian
Obama was for all intents and purposes directing his bird flip at Hillary...but I can tell you right now, he turned off millions of people with that sneaky hand gesture. He thinks he was Kool and got big laughs and jeers out of it. Whatever likability he had, has now been reduced to one of the spoiled, over paid athletes we hear about that act with reckless abandon on the courts, football fields, at baseball, hockey ... you name it...anyone who disrespects themselves in public as Obama did.. pays- They always pay the price, one way or another!

Some people will be thinking.."What if Obama flipped the bird at a Foreign Leader because he was angry and upset. Or he felt that particular Foreign Leader disrespected him in some way and he went ahead and pulled a stunt like that? A stunt like that could easily trigger a violent attack against our country and don't think for a moment our enemies aren't looking for just such an excuse."

We never-ever want someone sitting in the White House with a hair trigger temper or a thin skinned "ego" like Obamas. Last week he mocked Hillary with the Annie Oakley comments. Some people took offense that he would dare mock a former First Lady who was the face of our country in Foreign lands for eight years. His mocking was taken as personal, mocking America. As he is known to sit for year upon year soaking up Rev Wright's HATE for 20 of those years.

Once more Obama demonstrates his preference of HATE against AMERICA. His UNPATRIOTISM and DISLOYALTY and utter DISRESPECT for The United States of America to the point, he would dare slip in an insulting hand gesture just because his "ego" was publicly wounded the night before.

Obama is just another headache, we don't want or need. Maybe someday he'll grow up! I can wait.

16. It stands for "Obama's Middle Finger Gate"
Or perhaps "Obscene Muslim Fascist Gesture". Yeah, that's the ticket.

19. He says Hillarys name, makes a sly smile and raises his hand to his face in the universally
recognized FU signal. Middle school antics, conduct unbecoming a Presidential candidate.

33. um, ya and he's got two fingers extended in that photo
it discounts your whole idiotic theory, yet you hold it up as evidence?

Just look at what you have become.
"Teacher!Teacher! He flipped her off! he flipped her off!"
Not quite what your dream Hillary campaign looked like, is it?

41. learn a little reading comprehension
my first post is asking why you didn't even make an effort to photoshop the image to fit your story.

my second tells you that your own image disproves your case.

now here is an even more revealing shot proving you are wholly incorrect on this:

8. years ago, I used to have to sit through endless council and board meetings
that were brain-numbingly boring. the mayor showed me a little trick to relieve the boredom. she adjusted her glasses with her middle finger. to this day, makes me feel better in long, dull meetings.

12. Seriously, I think we'd better start emailing the networks.
CNN made some stabs at the Ayers connection. Since there are no stories for this weekend, it seems the MSM is willing to give these some play.

29. What pisses me off is that I emailed the following pictures
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 03:23 PM by DemsUnited
THIS MORNING to CNN & MSNBC so they didn't have to do any original research to present the (literally) other side of this non story.

Maybe I sent them to the wrong place. If anyone has some email addresses that might actually work, then please let me know or else mail them the following two pics.




I believe the first one is from an abc feed of the event.

The second one is a screen capture of 20:56 of this video at: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/355941

15. Has anyone pointed out thatr Obama frequently scratches the side of his head
I've seen him do that countless times, especially when he is about to make a point.

Now either the news media is starving to death for something else, or Obama is a master at surruptitious fingering.

22. Honestly I thought Stephanopolous was shooting a bird at Obama during the debate using
a similar technique as this assertion by MSNBC. He would lean his head in to his hand and maybe he had two fingers showing, I can't recall for sure, but for some reason his stance or posture reminded me of old high school antics.
