This was from today (I saw this part of the speech earlier this morning on CNN) Watch this video and tell me what you notice:
Was this accidental?
Gracious rhetoric undercut by an obscene gesture.
Was this Senator Obama’s Hawaiian Goodluck Sign? A show that he made a statement under duress?
What an unstatesman-like ass, if true.
And supposedly John McCain, who’s been a gentleman throughout the campaign, is the one with the invectives and volatile temper and conduct unbecoming of a statesman.
Keep it classy:
Hat tip: The Anchoress
Obama, wishing everyone the best with the middle finger.
it was about as accidental as the one he threw at hillary clinton when she beat his behind in the debate in PA. It’s also as accidental as the pig in lips stick remark.
Obama did this at least three times during the primaries against Hillary, whenever he mentioned her name ‘while praising her’. Talk about passive aggressive. The race must really be showing some internals of concern to Obama for him to reach for his nuke finger on McCain. The same way he did it when Hillary was pummeling him during PA and Ohio and other states.
he did it on purpose, he knew what he was doing and the msm is so in the tank for him that they will say he was scratching his
ass,i mean face.I’d be tempted to put this off as accidental, except what professional speechmaker “accidentally” rubs his fingers around his mouth in the midst of a speech? And what American adult uses his middle finger with the other fingers folded to do anything? Other than the obvious, that is.
Nothing about this man’s public behavior has been accidental. It’s all intentional, and deliberate, and yes, he’s about the most arrogant, infantile candidate I’ve ever seen. God help us all if he ends up in the Oval Office.
I was going to say this was accidental until I saw the second clip. Not accidental at all. Obama is a sharp dressed man, but he lacks class.
I’ve never seen a presidential candidate whose behind i have wanted to kick. Then I met obama.
I agree with Random Thoughts on this. That was intentional, and those who get it, get it. He truly shows the reason why the Democrats have an ass for a symbol, doesn’t he?
No it wasn’t an accident. I’ve seen him do that numerous times whenever mentioning people he doesn’t respect. It is as much a signal as in the old Carol Burnett show when Carol would tug her ear as an, “I love you”, to her grandmother. It is disrespect worthy of a 9-year old mentality. And the signal is never lost on his audience. It always gets a reaction.
What I found interesting is the lower scroll in the first video that sends a clear similar message right back to Obama courtesy of the Taliban, who see the weekness of leadership his presumed (and now eventual) leadership would bring to the office:
“US intel believes the Taliban are planning their own surge as arab jihadists arrive in the Pakistan borderlands.”
How appropro. I don’t believe in “coincidences”. Synchronicity is an interesting thing.
