Obama Finger-gate: Oh, no he didn't!


Tell me that Obama didn't just give Sen. Clinton the finger. Wow, nice way to stay classy, Barry. Geezz

Check out what others are saying at Tennessee Guerilla Women.


UPDATE: The first video posted has been removed from You Tube, so I've added another version. I am also including here a link to what appears to be the same speech, delivered to a different audience. (Notice the different people sitting behind the Senator.) In it, Obama pauses at the same spot, and gives the same finger gesture. Coincidence, or planned? You decide.

(Sorry -- that was me above. I had a link that was broken. I'll try it again.)

John J., fortunately for you, Obama did it at a second speech, much more clearly. Here's a nice clear picture for you.

Fair enough. I hadn't seen that one, just the one linked here and at CNN.

Sue - thanks for the link!

One more thing ... making the same gesture, at the same time, in two separate speeches certainly makes it seem deliberate.

Is Obama running for president of the United States, or president of Animal House?

I've seen more Obamabots making excuses for this behavior. Of course, they also excused Randi Rhodes for calling Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro f***ing wh*res....oh, hell...fucking whores. Why hide it, they should be ashamed,not me.

I think Obama was giving Hillary the finger because he pauses at that moment and waits for the crowd reaction to end before he continues with his verbal attack. Obama is such an arrogant hateful jerk! He is a mean person who is clearly not very smart or dignified.

Hillary Clinton is so much better than he is in presenting and having ideas, in putting forth proposals in historical context and in being a true leader. She does not need to debase or demean another person, or call her opponents racist, or his supporters bitter_as he has. Obama just points the finger, whining and blaming others for *HIS* poor judgement in the friend/associations he keeps.

I am inspired by Hillary!! She is a warm-hearted, strong, intelligent woman and it fills my heart with joy to hear her speak and to see her defend her ideas and put forth her plans. I am proud of her, and proud of our country for producing such an amazing woman. Her mother was born when women were not allowed to vote, it was illegal, and now here she is running for President with her mom by her side. I hope young American women who are told they are sluts, b***** etc.. will rise like she has.

Please watch some videos that can inform you on who Hillary is, the Hillary that I see, and what she has had to endure:
