Obama Flips the Finger to HRC, TWICE
In 2 separate speeches, Obama made the finger gesture the moment he said Hillary Clinton's name.
One audience laughed hysterically, another was a little slower.
Here is the Youtube of one speech:

Dear Bonehead, I'm scratching my cheek right now and thinking of you.

Aptly named, indeed.

Nah - it is the same event, the angles are extreme. Too bad there is no way to delete this.
I still think that he meant the gesture. And the audience certainly caught it and laughed.
But the speeches are one speech.

So, if having the index finger up with the middle finger is meant to be "camouflage" (the explanation I've seen on right-wing and/or anti-Obama sites), then if you had all of your fingers up would that make it "extreme camouflage"? o_0

Actually, no. If having the index finger up with the middle finger is meant to be camouflage, Obama's detractors have completely lost the plot.

Think of the dissing we've missed all these years. I'm going back over my old home movies.

I just wish Sen. Obama would use some of that 'election money' and buy some network time to ask Sen. Hillary Clinton one question:
"...Sen. Hillary Clinton why don't you just sit down and...SHUT THE FUCK UP...!?!?!?

I want to say that everyone pushing this is an idiot. Especially in light of what Obama is talking about, it's the height of irony to peddle dumbass crap like this. I would say that this is somethng the freepers would push, but the genesis of this bit of inanity is from RedState.
So we have "Democrats" pushing half-baked lies from RedState.
Sweet.
BTW, anyone with 2 brain cells would know that it's the same fucking speech AND that the audience was laughing at what he said, that she was in her element.
Gosh...stupid should be painful.
