Did Obama mock McCain's war injuries?

"Ha ha—You got your arms broken and a bayonet plunged into your groin"

Sweetness and Light has noticed something disturbing. In this video, Obama can clearly be seen (at 12:20) doing a physical imitation of John McCain. 

At a moment when describing a McCain ad, Obama adds a somatic gesture to create an image of John McCain. That gesture involves changing his stance and arm position to imitate the way McCain stands—a stance the Senator developed as a result of the injuries he suffered while he was a "guest" at the Hanoi Hilton.

Since Obama has already done the middle-finger-scratch gesture at Hillary and made the "lipstick on a pig comment," it is entirely reasonable to see this as intentional mockery.

The gesture was clearly an imitation of McCain—the context makes that plain. Obama makes no other such bodily gestures EXCEPT when he's creating a picture of McCain in the windmill commercial.

Obama may not have been directly saying "ha, ha, you got your arms broken and a bayonet plunged into your groin and I didn't." It doesn't matter. His way of imitating John McCain is by imitating the man's physical stance.

Barack Obama is a puerile, emotionally under-developed little man. It's appalling to think that he could be this close to the presidency.

When he loses this election—and please God, let him lose this election—some will say it was because he's black. But it won't be. If people had a problem with him based on nothing but his skin color, then he would have been down in the polls all along. Instead, he is slowly sinking as people get to know him and learn what a mean-spirited little child he is.

While the 'finger-language' was 'real' as surely as at his 'pig referencing'; this IS more subtle. Am thinking, Obama has always been a 'mimic'. He certainly parrots 'party line' rhetoric like a pro. Think as a 'speaker' and a man who wears a mask at all times; this 'mimicking' was/is an aspect of how he has learned to engage and become 'one' with his target audience/associations, et al.

A psychological survival tool and a 'craft' whereby you simply mirror others; while keeping 'yourself' to yourself.. .

That said, if you watch him; he makes incredible and some, very weird, gestures while speaking.

(Less 'weird' but curious; his constant pulling up his pants; adjusting his waist-band/belt...'WHATever'; did leave me wondering, what is his problem; that a simple tightening of his belt could not remedy.)

Think when he knows he is approaching/saying what is in truth; unacceptable; his gestures become both deliberate and unconscious distractions. And he IS good at crafting his body language - and words. We KNOW, he is practiced.

Drudge needs to see that shot. It’s disgraceful.
