It amazes me that at a time when the economy is in the toliet and we are at war, the democratic nominee for President of the United States, acts like a 10 year old child and gives the finger to their rival. What has this country come to that we would even consider nominating someone like this to the highest position in the World. If this were not a black man that the media is fixated with, he would have been dropped from this race when news of Rev. Wright broke. With all the shady associations that this man has, we can only pray that he is not elected. If he is, I feel what we are going through now is nothing compared to what we will be faced with under his leadership.

If you think that was giving someone “the finger”, you must be some kind of nutcase. Not convincing to a rational person. What in the world would be gained by doing that on purpose? Do you think it would earn any votes? That certain people suggest that daring to give the finger to a woman is somehow worse just betrays the real sexism behind all the yelling. Too many woman seem to think that they were “promised” a woman president, so it could only be sexism that prevented it. Reality check: Hillary was the assumed nominee, had all the money, all the name recognition, all the press from the beginning. She knocked ten men out of the running. Yet because Obama came from behind and clenched the nomination in a historically close race, it must mean that she was denied the nomination from some “sexist” conspiracy. Please. When more women learn to “suck it up like a man” we can start saying “suck it up like an adult,” instead.

School yard antics. Immature and pathetic. And he claims he will unite the US? He’s alienated women voters of all ages by this action alone.

This deliberate gesture on Obama’s part is not only offensive but particularly inexcusable for any one running for the presidency, yet talk of this offense in the media seems to be non-existent. Let’s see, in the past it’s been noted that he won’t wear a flag pin, he won’t put his hand over his heart at the playing of our national anthem and he flips off a woman running against him. These visual offenses speak volumes for the character, or lack of it from this person. I supported him for nearly a year and now do not, nor can I ever again. Shame, shame, shame on you Obama. Go flip off your wife and see how far it gets you.
