The One-Finger Salute?

April 18th, 2008, 11:26 AM EDT

When he says “Senator Clinton looked in her element,” he scratches his face in an interesting fashion, as he addresses a crowd Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina.

  1. Al,
    Two fingers Al, two fingers? No doubt the right wingers will be all over this: “Is this the type of person we want leading or country?” Sean is rubbing off on you Al!

  2. I certainly hope that wasn’t the one finger salute. If so, it was a little juvenile on his part. It’s kinda surreal…hard to really know for sure…

    I wonder if the video was doctored or slowed down at that moment? It’s like a kinescope…a film of a Youtube vid.

  3. Well, even if it is what it somewhat possibly resembles, it shows a great deal more subtlety, nuance and style than Bush and Cheney standing on a stage at a public forum and discussing how a member of the media is an “asshole”, and not only that but a “major league asshole.”

    So yeah, if Barack’s flipping the bird, I’m fine with that.

  4. He still looks very bitter. Oblarney — stop clinging to a whining strategy over a few questions that didn’t go your way for a change.

    Sheesh — give it a rest girlfriend, you’re not coming across as very manly.

  5. As family values Dick Cheney once said to someone on the floor of the US Senate, “GO F*** YOURSELF!!!”

  6. Said magnificently to to that smug arrogant prick Leaky Leahy.

    An excellent suggestion, though I’m sure Leahy would have failed that simple one-handed task, him being an incompetent buffoon.

    Which is kinda odd as he is, as I mentioned, already a prick.

  7. Jack Bauer:
    …and you’re an authority on “manly”? And speaking of “incompetent buffoons” and “pricks”, I’m sure you’re an expert in those areas (as in, it takes one to know one).

  8. Annie — being attacked by you is like being savaged by a dead sheep.

    That is: ineffectual and kinda sad.

    YES YOU CAN.. be that dumb.

  9. Is Jack-off Bauer really trying to defend Dickless Cheney?

  10. The Congress may well be full of chuckleheads, but compared to what’s in the White House they look like gods.

  11. just another reason why anyone in this country who pays taxes needs to vote against this guy he obviously was only picked to run based on his unknown history hoping the truth wouldnt come out before the general election. prepare for the biggest gotcha moment of all the dems blew this election and deserve what they get.

  12. Obama once “flicked me off”, I was walking down the street and bent over to pick up a quarter when I looked up and saw Obama standing over me with his large, erect black middle finger right in my face.

    “Fu%# off Bobby!” he said and left me on the street to cry into my flag colored T-shirt.

  13. Yeah. It is obvious the crowd knew what was going on, and he could not resist the chit eating grin.Cant wait to see Hillary slither off ro the tar pits, and for Mac to put the beat down on this Socialist Senator.

  14. Dear Ken,

    HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, Oh Whooooohooooheeee , oh boy, heeheheh, oh man, no, no, no, heheheh…Oh yeah, when Barack Obama turns his sights on Mcain, it’ll be all he can do not to have a frickin’ heart seizure.

    See right now Barack’s against a wall…democrats, women, Clintons…it’s just so messy.

    Mcain? Ever notice that blank, plastic stare of John’s millionaire wife? Let’s just say that’s the same fake static smile John will have when Barack asks him

    “Why would we want another 8 years of Bush?”

  15. I’d like to hear Ken’s definition of “Socialist”…a lot of people fling terms around and have NO IDEA what the true meaning/definition is…just another form of ignorance and bigotry.

  16. Do you think MSM will cover this? — No.

    If BHO is this childish now, what would he do if, God forbid, he becomes president and doesn’t like a foreign leader? This puppet is way too immature to become our nominee.

  17. Better a smart immature puppet than an old-fogey one.

  18. Obama doesn’t wear flag pins because he cant burn them…. :)
    The worst kind of coward is the one who hides his true feelings….
    like I said all tax PAYERS should check the box anybody but Obama………!!!!!!
    better to be wearing an American flag shirt and be gigged by ignorant people then to be eating sh*@

  19. Come on people, do you really believe that Obama is stupid enough to flip-off Hillary during a campaign speech with cameras rolling.

    I just saw a video of Obama for another speech when he was NOT talking about Hillary.

    When he looked down at his notes, his finger went across his face exactly like in the above picture. It looked more like a mannerism than a scratch.
