The Compulsion to Confess

by Maynard on December 7, 2009

Pay attention to the hand gesture Obama makes 15 seconds into this clip. Could such an overt motion be an accident? Would you make such a gesticulation, in front of a camera or otherwise? Might Obama be expressing what he really thinks of us? Or perhaps this is merely another teleprompter malfunction?

    What a pimply-faced teenage-ish antic. He seriously needs to grow up. I remember when he did it to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential campaign. The crowd whooped it up and loved it. And this disgusting excuse of a man knew it. Then as now, that gesture is no natural “quirk” of his. He seriously needs lessons in how to be a real man.

    Maybe he’s bored with being a Beta Male. You know, all of the parts not much of the heart.

    Try the kenyan salute in school when you speak to your teacher or better yet when a cop gives you a ticket. The Romans called it “digitus impudicus” for a reason and naturalized American citizens usually refrain from such behavior. Anyway, he must have picked it up at Franks house and his mother never called him on it.

    he does this all the time. Rush pointed it out during the campaign.. it was during a debate or something, but it was a little more subtle that time. the best part is the facial grimace that goes along with it. watch it again and you’ll see what i mean.

    It’s intentional. Two-faced bastard.

    Intentional? Who knows? It is however, an accurate gesture as to what he thinks of our military and the rest of us unsophisticated serfs who he really believes were awaiting his arrival to rescue us from ourselves. No thanks pre-school Prez. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Been doing it for 65 years now.

    Obama’s finger was having another Hillary moment. John Callahan is Bethlehem, Pa’s mayor and a staunch Hillary supporter. You can be sure that Obama and his staff were completely brought up to speed on the local players before he even boarded the plane.

    I take this as an indication of Obama’s thoroughness. Here’s a President, over a year after the fact in a state that he carried handily, flipping off someone that didn’t kowtow. For all his apparent shambling through the motions, he and his administration are working 24/7 to do the things that we both see and those that we are completely ignorant of. And some, like Axelrod’s shiney bubble, are simply handed off to Nancy & Harry to consume the bandwidth.

    For example, Obama appoints Palin foe to Alaska pipeline job
