Obama Flips Off Clinton? Oh My.

Bird is the word

The art of sublty is not lost on Senator Barack Obama, but perhaps he has overplayed his hand.

From the Swamp:

Sen. Barack Obama was on the stump today in Raleigh, N.C., the day after his debate in Philadelphia with Sen. Hillary Clinton. Have a look at his body language when he spoke of the sort of debate it was — a “gotcha” fest — and about Clinton being “in her element.”“Last night, Sen. Clinton and I had our 21st debate of the year,” Obama said today. “Last night, I think we set a new record, because it took us 45 minutes before we even started talking about a single issue that matters to the American people.

“I don’t blame Washington for this, because that’s just how Washington is,” he said. “They like stirring up controversy. They like playing gotcha games… .. and I would say Sen. Clinton was in her element.”

And that’s the part of the videotape, courtesy of Fox News, where viewers need to pay some attention to the hand that Obama raised to his face, and the finger with which he scratched it.

You decide

From American Thinker:

Note the reaction of the crowd to Obama’s gesture. They appeared to know exactly what the candidate was doing and approved.

Obama is spinning his halting performance in the debate as the fault of “Washington” or the press. That’s because they didn’t ask the questions he wanted to answer - a curious complaint but one that his supporters are buying willingly.

Not to worry, Barack. I’m sure the Republicans will bring up everything ABC was smart enough to ask you during the general election campaign. Then you will be able to abandon the pretense that you are a gentleman and flip the bird to John McCain all you wish.

    I wonder how Obama would respond if McCain were to offer up the same gesture for Michelle. Surely, after some of the hateful things she has said about the country she is asking to give her the keys to the Whitehouse, if anyone deserves a gesture, it’s her.

    Has this country diminished so far that it is incapable of seeing that Hillary Clinton may be a candidate for President, but the truth is, she is so much more to a large part of this countries population. She is a former First Lady, just as a starter.

    Obama’s campaign has gone after Bill Clinton’s character in a way the Republicans never did. He has called him a racist. This country knows better than to believe that. We DO know the Clinton’s.

    But, reality is, that Obama treats the most successful President the democrats have enjoyed for decades, and his First Lady with less respect, FAR less respect, than he treats Jeremiah Wright.

    You may want him for your president, but I don’t want him for mine.

    You should write for US Weekly. Spend more of your time digging into the facts. You don’t have to be liberal to understand that there is evil hiding in conservative sheep’s clothing. We cannot simply place an order for one conservative republican and expect it to come back 100% Authentic. McCain is a sleeper. We should be very afraid. Please start supporting an uncorrupted Republican party by doing your research on our next man or woman. Otherwise, stop your whining and accept the fact that Obama will be the next president. It is your fault. Don’t settle.

    Nolan:

    What facts do you believe are incorrect?

    McCain has a real chance of becoming president, too much of a chance in my opinion.

    Clinton would surely be the best president, but if she can’t when the primary, then help me Obama-Kenobi, you’re my only hope!
