Default (Nov 3, 08) *** Obama Does it Again!*** Flips Off McCain At Florida Rally today!**UPDATED WITH VIDEO**

Just moments ago, while Obama was congratulating McCain on the campaign, he made the same gesture he gave Hillary:



At a campaign rally in Jacksonville, FL on Monday November 3, 2008, Senator Barack Obama took a moment to congratulate Senator John McCain on a tough fought presidential campaign by saying briefly, "At the end of this race, I want to congratulate him [John McCain] on the tough race that he has fought", before attacking John McCain for being too much like President George W. Bush.

Here's the YouTube:

I don't believe this guy.

I happen to catch him "scratch" his face a number of times. Most of the time it was with his index finger.

Obama--

You're giving the finger to a man who was tortured and beaten to give you the right to do that in this country, you arrogant, disrespectful, Marxist red diaper baby, anti-American, unpatriotic asshat.

Default Was anyone watching the Obama rally earlier?

I was at DU and someone posted that O had flipped off Mac (the way he did Hillary during the primaries by scratching his face) and they pulled all the threads discussing it.

Did anyone see it?

This is unbelievable! I've watched various speeches throughout the campaign waiting to see if he would use his middle finger again to scratch his face. He never has in all the speeches I've seen except when he mentioned Hillary that time and 'flipped her the bird' and now.

If he was actually speaking about McCain while he did it, then I have to believe he did it on purpose. What a jerk!

Merged.

He is a creature of habit. He can't help it. It makes him feel good to offend his opponent in public.

He's so not ready to be a leader of the free world. So immature and juvenile. He is fit to be the leader of the pack of bullies in the high school backyard.

Exactly! We need VIDEO of this like we got when he did it to Hillary... where the audience members were laughing and acknowledging that he was flipping Hillary off. Obama is like Diet Wright

Obama is pathetic for making that gesture to McCain. This guy really thinks high and mighty of himself and complete disregard for respect of others. I am ready for this election to be over. What a way to end it with Obama making that gesture. He knows he leads in the polls and is likely to win and seems like he is trying to flaunt it.

Exactly B Positive. Diet Wright indeed. A comparison video of both images would be wonderful. I remember when he did it to Hillary in N.C. He is a sorry example of a man.

Once doing this could be called a mistake....and even I could say that it was that...but now this looks like he is doing it in purpose...He knows his supporters get it and its disgusting to act this way...

Of course he will say his face itched and it was innocent.

That's not the pack of bullies I knew... I was not aware they were engaging in bullying behavior but I will now leave this pack of bullies because some of the other members of the pack of bullies are being harassed... not leaving because it's wrong of me to be in this pack but I'm leaving simply because other bullies are being harassed. And if you ever mention that I was in this pack then you are bullying me.... got it?

I know we need to get this out there and I really like John McCain. But isn't it interesting how much more incendiary it is to flip off a male war hero than a female senator and former first lady?

Words cannot describe how I feel about this! The words I have would get be banned from the forum. John McCain is a US Senator. John McCain was tortured for his love of his country. I may not find him to be the most inspiring candidate but I RESPECT the man. Even if Obama didn't respect the man, Obama should at least have respected the United States of America and not have acted like a juvenile.

Not only is he the most corrupt and marxist fool to ever run for president for a 47 year old man he's the most immature. He just past Biden for the man I'd most love to punch in the face.

This man is beyond disgusting. He is vile. He is evil. He is the lowest of the low. This man is beyond any words that I can think of. Between his associations, his sitting in that madman's church, Reverend Wright, for 20 years, this action today is just one more in a long line of despicable acts made by Barack Obama. I have never disliked a politician more. I can disagree with a politician's views, beliefs, policies and still be civil to them. But this level of juvenile antic by a man professing the desire to lead our great country is just beyond the pale.

mainly because it is the day before the election and because him doing it to Hillary wasn't a pattern... please don't go making this a gender issue. It is a complete lack of respect for his opposition issue.

If you look at the video, obama is so worried he might loose. But his cockiness is trying to hide it.

Someone should ask, "Is that the same finger this impetuous little punk would keep poised over the nuclear button, waiting to give a great big "F.U." to someone that annoyed his holyness the Messiah?"
