A top Russian female newsreader who appeared to defiantly show US President Barack Obama her middle finger during a live newscast has been fired.

In January of 2009, huge numbers of eager liberals made the trip down to Washington D.C. to celebrate the inauguration of Hope and Change. The mood of the day was optimism. The big change had finally come. Nearly two years later, they returned to Washington D.C. on buses for Jon Stewart’s clownfest, but the mood had changed. Contempt had replaced optimism. The left wing of the Democratic party had reverted to its Bush era sneers and jibes. The mocking costumes and signs had been staples of Anti-War rallies and Anti-Bush rallies from 2001 to 2008. But this was not a...

In case you are inclined to say, “Surely not” – just a coincidence – take a look below at three other occasions when Obama has given his political opposition the middle finger....

During Barack Obama’s campaign stop last week in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he scratched his head with his middle finger as he named the mayor of Bethlehem, John Callahan, a Hillary Clinton supporter. Right before the 2008 election, presidential candidate Barack Obama made a remark about his opponent, John McCain. As he made the remark, Obama scratched his face with his middle finger. Rush Limbaugh and others were quick to ask if Obama was giving the finger to Senator McCain. Dr. Anna Salter’s research on sexual predators gives us some clues as to why we are so often unable to spot a...

Came across this crochet pattern today while looking for others. Thought some of you 'crafters' here might get a kick out of it. ;) Comments: Barack Obama Finger Puppet Reviewed by Jessica Victor on 2008-12-20 With this little guy I sorta have to squint and tilt my head and he ends up looking somewhere between Will Smith and/or Denzel Washington as well. Overall a cute concept but otherwise requires the McCain finger puppet to make this one seem relevant. Overall functionally it's cute and makes a good finger puppet.

Just like with Hillary.

The Obama campaign denies that Obama gave Hillary the infamous one-finger salute: A spokesman for the presidential campaign of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has criticized The Ticket for making a "false and childish accusation" in an item Thursday that the candidate's one-fingered gesture during a speech that day might have been the finger aimed at his Democratic Party opponent instead of an innocent finger aimed at brushing his cheek or scratching a scratch. As displayed in a video clip, Obama was criticizing Washington for its gotcha politics in general and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton specifically as being "in her...

When turned over in unison by the occupants of the seats, they were purportedly to spell out "Go Harvard." Instead, they spelled out "We suck." (See the Harvard Sucks website for the back story and multimedia presentations.)The Columbia Business School MBA recognition ceremony took place at Madison...
