I'm sure most of you have seen Obama "flipping the bird" to McCain. If not, here it is:
Now, if you're thinking, "well, maybe we're reading too much into that", then have a look at this one when he does the same thing to Clinton. In this case, I believe there is no doubt that he knows what he's doing. It's clear that the audience knows what he's doing.
What we see here is a moment between Obama and his faithful followers, an "inside joke" that, he thinks, only they will get. This makes me wonder if that isn't what this entire campaign is about. Everything he says to get elected, there's a little wink to his faithful. They know what he's about. This is an inside joke, and the joke's on us, people. Well, not on me. I get it. But if you're voting for Obama, it sure as heck is on you.
