Don't even try to say he wasn't doing it intentionally. :D

The photo of the two fingers up to scratch tell us that the turd you saw was yourself. A fool like you can't be told anything, but the picture tells it all.

Oh, give me a break you freaking lunatic. :laugh:
I didn't make this shit up. it's all over the headlines. Right now, there are 586 headlines in a search of Google news.

It is what it is. People will see what they want to see. Personally, I think it's a flip. I think he knowingly did it and thought it was cute. At first, I just thought it was funny but now I think it shows how he thinks he's invincible. He knows he can do or say anything he wants and millions of brainwashed followers will defend him. He's got his little God complex going on and he's enjoying the power trip.

BTW I didn't create the thread, go bitch at everyone else.

Oh wahh... look at you whine! Quit being an apologist tool. If you gonna fling rocks from your proverbial glass house, you better be prepared for some broken windows. Take some personal responsibility for once in your life, hack.
Why are you going after me?

I did not proclaim that Obama really gave Hillary the finger, go re-read my post.

And instead throwing out childish insults why not stick to the topic at hand.

maybe because it doesnt matter whether he did or did not flip her off?

every president has sworn or had mistresses or gave the finger to at least somebody..so its a non-point

It looks like he was just scratching his face. The crowd cheered/roared and he smiled like anyone else would do when they think a crowd is enthusiastically responding to their speech.

Sounds like you put the carriage before the horse.

That explanation makes sense, sadly we will never know one way or another.

I am sure Obama will make some type of comment about this as a joke about how crazy the media can be at times.

Well at least is more entertaining than pissing and moaning about online recipe's.

He had an itch, I see a lot of people itch with the middle finger that way. But maybe they dont like me and are really flipping me off and I am naive enough to believe they have an itch.

I watched the video and it looks like he did it then knew he did it, and started grinning like a Chesser cat after as if some on the inside knew he was going to do it and he was thinking how funny it must be to them that he did it.

For crap sake a trained professional speech giver such as Obama knows you do not scratch yourself at the podium while making a speech. So it is more likely that was a deliberate gesture not an actual itch.

It would have been real funny if Hillary would have walked across the stage and slapped the crap out of him for it.

First of all, it's Cheshire, not Chesser. Second of all, you made so many wild jumps that you must be right:roll:

I'm sorry, but it's a little hard to listen to analysis offered by someone who thinks the appropriate title for someone who speaks in a professional capacity is "professional speech giver".

Certainly, the great majority of Clinton and McCain supporters are mostly concerned with policy issues, however...

Mike Allen got it right:
It provides a handy excuse for people who were looking for a reason not to vote for Obama but don?t want to think of themselves as bigoted....

But I bet even he had no idea he was actually talking about the word "bitter," Obama's pastor, not wearing a flag pin, looking tired in pictures, doing well in caucus states, doing well in small states, secretly being a Muslim extremist (wink, wink) operative, speaking too well, scratching himself, grinning like a "Chesser" cat...

It is both a correct term and widely used, I don?t see the problem?

Sure, as long as you believe "the flip" is done with two fingers ;)

In either case, if this were my thread, I'd link to the clearer still frames in my OP. You know, just so readers have all the information and can come to their own conclusion ;)
