Did Obama Mock McCain's Arm Disability? (Video)
Topics: Political News and commentariesSweetness & Light asks, "Did Mr. Obama imitate John McCain's arm movements during his speech at Schott Glass in Duryea, PA. September 5, 2008":
[...] You be the judge.My answer, after watching the video is that clearly, Obama most definitely mocks John McCain's arm disability at 12:20 into the clip, and it is accompanied by laughter from the audience.Notice Mr. Obama's body language starting at about 12:15, when he talks about John McCain:
S & L continues with:
Obama starts talking about the McCain ad. He sets the scene. He says McCain is looking into the distance. Then he, Obama, looks into the distance.Just in case you may have forgotten, John McCain, as a Communist Prisoner-of-War, suffered two broken arms, a broken shoulder and a broken leg, plus a bayonet wound in the groin and years of enemy beatings and other bodily torture - all in the service of his country and the American people. He is a hero par excellence.And then Obama does the arm thing -- and it gets a laugh from the audience. Even though the line itself isn't particularly funny.
Again, we admit we might be being overly suspicious.
Though Mr. Obama has given us good reason to be.
The title of this piece should be "Barack Obama, wannabe CIC, mocks disabled veteran war hero's disability." As a veteran, I find Obama's gesture an appalling disgrace and disrespectful to every veteran, especially those who have suffered disabling injuries and wounds in the service of our country so that asshats like Barack Hussein Obama can have the freedoms to be disrespectful of us without any kind of legal repercussion. However, having the freedom to mock us shouldn't give him the idea that we'll vote for the SOB.
Just who in the hell does this bastard think he is? Does he think being a Marxist, Alinsky-ite, community organizer entitles him to make fun of wounded and disabled combat veterans?
If you haven't guessed by now, I'm mad as hell.

I can't get the video to work, not even by copying the URL -- it gives me "undefined" and takes me to the main YouTube page.

Christina, it must be something on your computer. It works okay for me.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., is a charlatan, a thug and an interloper who seek to destroy the very foundations of our grand and glorious Republic.
He lacks the moral authority to even mention Sen. John McCains's name...a man whose descendants have for in every war since the commencement of our nation.
If you want another 9//11 vote for Barry.
But
If you love America.
If you believe in Freedom.
If you believe in Victory in the War on Terror against Islamo Fascism.
If you want to defende our constituional government.
If you want to our guns and religions...
Then you need to:
"Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.
Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight.
Nothing is inevitable here.
We're Americans, and we never give up.
We never quit. " Mac, RNC speech

I think McCain should retire. I know he's been honorable and served... but I just don't think he's mentally and physically stable to lead this country. Considering the choices, I think Obama is best for our country.
I live in a swing vote state and I've been rallying Obama since McCain's poor VP pick. Not to mention McCain's campaign has been down right vulgar and disgusting. Clearly McCain isn't the think tank in their tactics... which again, makes me question his ability to lead. I sense he's being made as a puppet.

You're insane. Obama wasn't mocking anything, you are seeing something that isn't there. You're heading into 9/11 truther territory at this point...

It's as clear as the nose on my face. The shrugging of his shoulders and arms is obvious as hell, and the crowd knew exactly what he was doing - hence the laughter.
While it's perfectly legitimate to question my sanity - I wonder myself sometimes, questioning my eyesight is another matter. After all, I and the other commenters on this post aren't blind.
Nothing personal here, but Twisket appears to be a bit blinded by having drung too much Obamamessiah Kool-Aid.

So what are all these about - Is Obama so arrogant that he thinks that it doesn’t matter? Is Obama so immature that he thinks that this kind of stuff is ‘cool’? Or is Obama just plain stupid?
I can’t believe he got the nomination and is still rating anything other than the because he’s black and faminazi vote.
After seeing the finger at the Hillary comment - I would put nothing past him. At all. Ever.
Furthermore, check these clash videos I found yesterday about the US Presidential candidates have talked taxes. Well, it's entitled Obama v. McCain on Taxes. Watch these statements - then vote in http://clashorama.com/index.php?id=194
