But the Obambi did it literally the day after his pathetic loss in the Pa. Debate, he went on stage whined about "hillary throwing the kitchen sink at me last night..." and then he gave her the "flip-off"! He raised his mid-finger and the YouTube mega-hit: 'OBAMA GIVES HILLARY THE FINGER' was born. Obama clearly is a juvenile, disrespectful to his female felllow senator politico who has no manners and--nobody calls him on the carpet for it! He gets away with giving Hillary and her supporers and the whole country the finger (20 years) and he's escaping scot-free! Come november, the 18 million cracks will expolode on his smug, arrogant empty resume. And the bitter voters will make sure he goes back to Kenya to assist his Sharia-Law cousin Odinga there to treat women exactly the way Barrack likes to treat them...What a fraudster from Chicago. And he stole the election in Chicago from Sen. alice Palmer. Sen. Palmer supported Hillary. That's how this thug got ahead! Stealing nominations from women!
