CANDIDATE SHOOTS BILLARY THE BIRD DURING RALEIGH SPEECH
In what can only be described as an incredibly classy move, presidential candidate Barack Obama apparently flipped off his Democratic rival(s) at a campaign event in Raleigh, NC today. As you can see in the clip above, it wasn’t a blatant middle-finger salute, but more along the lines of the juvenile move he probably used to give a flippant finger to his middle school teachers.
But who exactly was the target?
To many, it will seem like it was directed at Hillary Clinton. But after her husband played the role of hit man in South Carolina during the January primary, I think it’s more likely Obama used his first trip to the Carolinas to finally respond to former President Bill Clinton.
Regardless, this raises a good question.
My friend Erick Erickson at RedState questioned, “Has a candidate for President ever shot another candidate the bird from stage?”
To my knowledge the answer is “no,” but I’m sure every candidate has done it at least once off stage. And sometimes, even that gets caught on camera.




Are you kidding me? You can pretty clearly see him scratching with two fingers there and the middle never was out by itself.
It would have been great if he had flipped the bird. I’m not looking for a polite, pc candidate.
I’m an independent, so, I personally don’t care, but it is pretty obvious that he shot her the bird. I went on Google to see if anybody else thought the same thing (you obviously did too). The crowd’s cheers are proof that they saw the same thing. Regardless if I think it was a little bit funny…..he shot her the bird and nobody is calling him out. If we’re all created equal….let’s treat everybody equally and be equally accountable. COME ON PEOPLE !!!!
