Guide Note: April 17, 2008: Barack Obama appeared to give rival Hillary Clinton a surreptitious finger as he discussed their debate in Pennsylvania and the "gotcha" politics endemic in Washington. As Obama states that "Clinton looked in her element" within this political environment, he scratches his cheek with the middle digit of his right hand. A gesture that the crowd seemed to appreciate. Did he flip Hillary the bird?

Text of Speech

"Now, I don't blame Washington for this because that's just how Washington is. They like stirring up controversy, they like playing 'gotcha' games, getting us to attack each other, and I have to say Senator Clinton, you know, looked in her element. [scratches face] You know, she was taking every opportunity to get a dig in there. You know? That's alright. That's her right. That's her right to kind of twist the knife a little bit."
