Not quite sure what the title of your post means... but that "Obama girl" video has already been thoroughly discussed in this thread:

Sorry, it's number two on the top video played list "Obama annoyed with Rude Fan"

i think just about anyone would be annoyed in this situation.

You should see who likes McCain. And we all know some insane Hilldog supporters. There are some crazy*** people in this world, and they seem to be the ones who vote. Explains a lot actually.

That's it, Obama's lost my vote.

How could you not love a face like this?

How could you love anyone with a pecker on his face?

i saw that on abc the other day
he's being a jerk. if a person make the effort to come out and see you‚ doens't that warrant 20 seconds of your time for a picture?

Clearly it looks much more like a booby than a pecker.

So let's do some math here.

20 seconds a picture == 3 pictures a minute.

3 pictures a minute == 180 pictures an hour.

180 pictures an hour == 4320 pictures a day.

By your mathematics, it would take Barack roughly four days of nonstop picture taking to satisfy all the picture desires of the fans at one of his larger rallies.

Really? The picture of the loon and the booby didn't make it reek enough of irony? How's this:

etc.

at the end of the video he finally said ok and gave him the picture, if he had just done that from the start then that would have forgone all that mess

Maybe he was under heavy fire and couldn't stop.

He did make a vague reference suggesting he had encountered the man before, and it suggested to me that he interrupted or disrupted an event when Obama was trying to interact with some children. Without knowing what happened at that prior event, it's hard to say whether the reaction was justified.

Actually, the election-season paranoiac in me half suspects a plant to provoke a newsworthy strong negative reaction, but Hanlon's Razor cuts in favor of him just being a nut. Any famous person accumulates a few.

yeah the guy was being extremely annoying and rude but its called dealing with the public.
and if its a plant then obama ought to recognize it and know how to deal with it

so since its a member of the public, the guy is excused from any sort of manners?

Cheney would have shot his best friend for a chance at a prize like that.

No worries. Nothing involving a bird called a "booby" should ever be taken seriously.

[Desertrat]

Some folks are just really serious in their distaste for He Who Has No Middle Name:

This IS one of the more entertaining brouhahas of a campaign year. It's a shame there are no serious candidates.

Yep, right in the face :cool:.

I don't actually think everything in that list is true, the stuff about Obama not saying his church said something uncontroversial, as otherwise you have to believe a conspiracy theory that the media kept it quiet, especially as the media is apparently the source of the document.

A better site would have more quotes, more actual facts, and less rhetoric. Also, saying LIAR after everything, not as professional. As I said earlier, many legitimate reasons to dislike him. That was just sad.

McCain? McCain? As in, "Who needs a First amendment?" McCain? The guy who reformed campaign finance for Soros' benefit? From his voting record, it's really hard to tell which party he's in.

Apparently, his own.

That used to be a good thing, but no longer.
