This is pretty stupid. The blogosphere is all abuzz with people claiming that Obama flipped Hillary off during a speach. The video is below.
This is stupid. It was an unguarded and unwise scratch of the side of his nose, nothing more. How much more imbicilic can we get during this election cycle?

i agree with you carey, can’t read too much into a scratch …..
however, what i find more “telling” of the video clip … is the smug look he has on his face following the scratch – which wasn’t there before … and the different way he is speaking that crowd …. his tone, metric, and word choice are dynamically different than the other night during the debate … i don’t like a candidate for president that changes the way he acts / speaks (especially when its in the direction of “less formal” or “colloqial” or “less-presidential “…. ) depending on who he’s talking to / where he is …
