Flip you, too!

He'll deny any such intention.

Like a true coward.

I wept because I had no shoes. And then I saw a man who had no class.

This man does not deserve to work in the same office where great men like Ronald Reagan worked.

America, give Barry the finger tomorrow!

I can't wait to return the gesture on Wednesday.

smug,arrogant

Hope! Change!

RonPaul!

I guess the Secret Service would come get me if I said what I would like to do with Senator Government's middle finger ....... so I won't .....

Real Classy Barack, acting like a true gentleman.

Narcissism at its finest.

Obama: "That is not the middle finger I knew...."

Ford Motor Company down 30%. OK, but the Lions are going great guns aren't they?

Apparently he did the same thing to HRC... what a doodie head

Sorry folks,

I don't see anything that's a big deal here. It's impossible to know his intention. I'd rather focus on the crazy shit he actually says!

This video was taken out of context!

Class all the way, eh, Barry?

Well- to be fair, I'm sure it's not just McCain, but that's how he feels about all of our fine military men and women.

or maybe the next time BHO and McCain meet, John can just say the same thing that Dick Cheney said to Senator Leahy, under his breath and real private like.

"F.O."

"The gesture was not meant to infer, "eff you," but was rather a sybolic display of Barack's intent to share the wealth of all Americans, to include digital wealth, and considering that is the longest finger on the hand, it's utterance was that of the deepest charity towards McCain."

I agree. Now if he picked his nose and eat it? Well then we'd be cooking!

Would it be illegal to ask if you were a Senator Government supporter when someone comes to apply for work at my business? ....Oh, that's right they don't need to work ......Senator Government is gonna give them free stuff ....

Being classy is above his pay grade.

Hillary first. McCain Second. Tomorrow will determine if the nation get's the 'bird' from him in January, or if we can vote in McCain and maintain honor to the position of President.

Once you buy into the mentality that you are a part of a victim class, you can be almost-President of the United States and not be able to escape from it. This kind of passive-aggressive b.s. is a symptom.

BO is a classless low-rent scumbag. Looking forward to pulling the lever tomorrow.

Minor league compared to what he wants to do to our country.

re: #14 astronmr20

Sorry folks,

I don't see anything that's a big deal here. It's impossible to know his intention. I'd rather focus on the crazy shit he actually says!

That's because you did not see him do it to Hillary in the primaries .... he did it ... and he meant to .....

It is possible that it was not intended this way; I have known many people who were not in any way in the habit of making obscene gestures who routinely used their middle rather than, or at least as often as, their index fingers when making pointing gestures, scratching their faces, etc.

Seriously.

I have no use for Obama, and given his use of a similar hand motion when referencing Hillary Clinton as his opponent, it is certainly possible that he intended to make a rude gesture. I am merely saying that it is possible that he was not.

In any event, his quotation of Chairman Mao is, to me, much more serious.

He's a subliminal kind of guy!

The Bear beat them yesterday. The cost was high though: Chicago is stuck with Rex Grossman as QB at least for the rest of the month. Now the question each week becomes: Who shows up? Good Rex or Bad Rex?

Except he did this exact same thing to Hillary!

re: #13 alkizz

Yup, he gave Hilary the finger too. It's no coincidence.

Obama and his merry band of subversives really think they're sticking it to the man. America, this man will truly screw us. Especially those of us with any income or assets.

Obama: 'Brothers Should Pull Up Their Pants'

But while he does not favor legal prohibitions on low-riders, he said "brothers should pull up their pants."

/already working on his first State of the Union speech I see

Not the first time during the campaign that Obama has done this sort of thing. Such is typical of radical, punk behavior.

America has a good heart - Barack Obama doesn't. That's why his pompous ass will lose this election.

re: #32 Kenneth

Yup, he gave Hilary the finger too. It's no coincidence.

yeah, but bill's been giving her the finger for the last 35 years!

re: #28 buzzsawmonkey
What/when did he quote Mao? I missed that one. I could use it. I'm still talking to "undecideds".

Its not the finger he once knew and respected.

He will claim that it was unintentional, but note the audiences reaction. They know he meant it.

I don't get it. When it was thought that McCain would steal his thunder and announce his VP pick the night of his acceptance speech, McCain said that there'd be no politics that day and sent a congratulations message. Obama said he'd do the same. But, as far as I can tell, never reciprocated the next week.

There's a gracelessness here that is absolutely staggering.

I was going to vote for Mac and the Babe until I saw this.

Now?

Now it's Zero and the Plugs for me.

/sarc

Okay .... now that the polls say the early voters are Senator Government 48 McCain 47 .... they are saying the polls are wrong ....

Great. Four years of junior high school. And I hated it the first time around.

He knew exactly what he was doing. Gimme a break. No excuses, no redistribution, NO BO!

Did it to Hillary, too.

Otherwise, that one doesn't look all that intentional.

Would love to see about 10 or 20 seconds more of the tape, though.

Now repeat after me McCain: I'm rubber, you're glue...

You can watch any video of Obama. When he scratches his head with his index finger, he is about to give a "funny" line.

He leaves himself plausible deniability. I think that it might be intentional, because his "lipstick on a pig"comment was obvious & he is a real jerk.

The swim team boys always managed to get in a few birdies for the school yearbook.

re: #28 buzzsawmonkey

I have to agree. He's not a very good actor, and a smirk would have been apparent if that's what he meant. There are certainly a lot more substantive criticisms to be made about the man than the absent-minded use of a finger.

That's America that he's flipping off.

Yeah ... White women McCain 52 Senator Government 40 ... yeah...

I'll be flipping him the bird in the voting booth tomorrow.

I know which finger I am going to use to cast my vote! BO (PBUH) is a douche bag.

He's just a manchild thinking he's being real sly and cute, just like a little kid.

Oh, yes he did flip him off. That was deliberate.

Just a finger in my neighborhood.

Correct, the message he sent regarding the choice of Governor Palin was to insult her small town roots, iirc.

When McCain wins I hope he sends Obama a concession gift of another bird.

re: #38 crazy cat lady

What/when did he quote Mao? I missed that one. I could use it. I'm still talking to "undecideds".

I believe it's at Gateway Pundit. Yesterday, I think; his "righteous wind at our backs" statement is cribbed very closely from some Mao utterance.

Sure, it could be accidental.

But there used to be a time when a presidential candidate would be VERY careful not to do things like this.

I don't know for sure. No one does. But it looks very deliberate to me.

I just tried to scratch my face like he did - this is in no way an unconscious gesture - it takes determination.

Oh - and he's done it in a speech about Hillary and now McCain - is anybody aware of him doing it in other speeches? Like a sort of 'natural' thing?

I am not!

Stupid, arrogant, badly mannered a***!

re: #66 Kenneth

Oh, great. Just what we need.

Anyone looking at Iran, Gaza, et al today?

He was merely showing us that he's tech-savvy -- digital expertise.

I remember things like that. A long time.

I cannot believe that in the United States of America all this garbage is happening. It's like a bad dream and I can't wake up. This a--h--e has absolutely no class but that's just the tip of the iceberg. He is absolutely diabolical and has the complete backing of the media. He will be in complete control with no checks and balances for the next 4 years if elected. I can only hope that all of the legitimate Republican votes will be enough to trump not only the Dem vote but also the Acorn vote. This man is a child and is not in any way ready to assume the office of POTUS.

I guess that trigger finger didn't work on the facial itch, but the middle finger worked just fine.

/Sheesh, everybody's a friggin' comedian. ///

re: #63 MandyManners

Oh, yes he did flip him off. That was deliberate.

Maybe he's trying to piss McCain off. John McCain tends to get hostile when he feels insulted. When he is hostile he tends to be... salty. Though if McCain cursed Obama out, it might help him.

A relative of mine, Ex navy pilot, sent me this video link with the comment that If this guy can land that plane, we can elect McCain.

Unbelieveable!

I am more concerned about the (puppetmaster) hand up Obama's posterior than with the finger he holds to his face.

re: #70 Who Watches the Watchmen?

That was a hateful sounding audience.

They will be the first into the fray should Obama lose.

Have you EVER seen a gracious leftist?

Every time McCain trys to raise his arms thats his "middle finger" to all those rat bastards that disrespect his years of service to this county!

re: #63 MandyManners

Oh, yes he did flip him off. That was deliberate.

Absolutely!

Look at the context when he flipped-off Hillary. Same as when he flipped-off McCain. At that moment he was congratulating them - while flipping the bird. Obama thinks we are all idiots. His supporters think we are all idiots - while they secretly snicker.

Fargin Iceholes

Seriously? Come onnn. This blog is better than this.

Reminds me of the movie "Idiocracy"
Instead of giving 2 thumbs up the pres. gives two middle fingers at the end of every speech.

The Hillary flip-off seems on-purpose. Just by the audience reaction.
A pattern is forming.

re: #33 Nadnerb

Obama and his merry band of subversives really think they're sticking it to the man. America, this man will truly screw us. Especially those of us with any income or assets.

This is exceedingly true. I have heard from many who believe their vote for Obama is a vote against "those" who have wronged them over the past 8, 20, 50 years.

The problem is: to the person, they have been part of (or continue to be) part of the "those".

The problem with the victim class is that 1) everyone is a victim but 2) everyone is also a perpetrator.

re: #78 Charles

I would think it might be a stretch, except he did this once before, so it's a pattern.

It was cool reading about Charles on the best of the web.. The Wall Street opinion page today.

And this guy will bring the country together?

Uhhhh (drool)

re: #80 ErislDysnomia

Israeli airstrike on iranian reactors by the First of January -- or if not them, then the USAF.

its not an accident, he has done it before after a short pause when his opponents name is mentioned. he did the same thing to Hillary and smirked while the audience laughed. maybe someone can post that video. the guy is an arrogant punk, no doubt about it.

He thinks only the "cool kids" will get it! The man has lied his way all throughout this election and will do it in office (please help us, Lord) if he wins. He. Makes. Me. Sick.
and how he thinks he would join this country together is beyond me

he hasn't seen division yet

re: #78 Charles

Sure, it could be accidental.

I don't know for sure. No one does. But it looks very deliberate to me.

To me, his speech patterns and movements show that his speaking abilities come from watching people like Rev. Wright, not from any true educational study into proper public speaking.

I will be using my middle finger to vote on our new touch screen voting machine tomorrow.

No it is not illegal. At least not in Ohio. And you can fire someone too for their politics.

Unless they are in a protected class and you are discriminating against them for being in a protected class you are good to go.

This is just one flagrant thing the One has managed to get away with. I mean, he freaking tried to undercut the standing President's policy when he went to shoot hoops in Iraq ffs...

He's a piece of work.

re: #52 infopimp

All true enough, but not said by Lincoln. Just so you'll know, it was J. H. Boetcker .

Best,

I remember Justice Scalia doing something similar to the press, right? The press will remember, well... when they want to. Obama can't get away with this, he's not Italian.

re: #28 buzzsawmonkey

Actually, he parroted Mao - he's too gutless to quote him.
