#1 Treacher must have missed that middle finger bit the second time it happened.

I've seen two videos in two different locations where Zero is giving the exact same speech and at the exact same point in that speech he scratches his cheek with his middle finger.

This is a classy guy, NOT.

#2 1) I think he is a street corner magpie...
2) How did bomber William Ayers and his bombet get hold of the Annenberg fund in the first place?

#3 You know what the military says.

"Once is chance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action."

Or as it's sometimes said "Where there's smoke there's fire".

#4 What about his admission that he DID ask the Iraqis to delay an SFA till after the election?

Of course in the most surreal statement of all time the campaign screeched about the lie and the smear while confirming what was said.

In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. . . .

But Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri's article bore "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial."

In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a "Strategic Framework Agreement" governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said.

In the face of resistance from Bush, the Democrat has long said that any such agreement must be reviewed by the US Congress as it would tie a future administration's hands on Iraq.

#6 white hot anger

I thought this piece in NRO might provide a good explanation.

#7 Betty, I remembered that NRO article after I clicked through to it, but I hadn't made the connection.

I'm wondering if despite his exceedingly cool, calm, pleasant demeanor, Obama is a much angrier guy than he lets on. Not swearing at colleagues and blowing-off-steam angry (as John McCain reputedly is), but that he's driven by a quiet, white-hot, continually burning anger, seeing great injustice everywhere, and compelling him to accumulate more and more power to set things right as only he can.

I do believe you are on to something here.

#8 "He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. . . .

This is red meat, and McCain should jump on it.
Negotiations without portfolio can be treason.

#9 Of course, these are merely unfortunate and unrelated coincidences. Hussein, being the polite Muslim he is, would never directly offend any kufir, until he knows he's got him under his thumb. Standard Muzz procedure.
