Your video is a much better angle, it does look like the finger for sure on this angle, and it also looks like people noticed it in the crowd and are reacting to it!

The people behind him reacted as to the "she was in her element" line, and they could not even see his hand.  His follow up was to the line he just delivered.  

Do you really think he'd be that stupid when he's got the nomination in the bag?

that crowd reaction like that, to gestures no less, are not scripted and screened events ala bushco

I thought his knife stabbing gestures were the most despicable (see video below).

Not to mention the dusting of the shoulders and shaking of the foot. And who were those people behind him egging him on? They are adults for goodness sakes.

Why knife? He is no one special to be spared scrutiny; after all, he IS running for president of the United States not a popularity contest.

I am very glad that for once, two reporters whom I admire and respect, Gibson and Stephanopoulos, addressed the questions of CHARACTER, TRUTHFULLNESS, and JUDGEMENT which Mr. Obama increasingly is showing a lack of.

He only has himself to blame for the situation he is confronting; his arrogance, unfair play, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and sexist (misogynist would be a better word), demeaning, mockingly scornful personal attacks leveled against Mrs. Clinton, (the Annie Oakley remark to name just one of the many he has said throughout the campaign), demonstrate his cynical, disrespectful view of women. But then again, what can you expect of him when he has grossly disrespected his own grandmother, and MOTHER!

MR. OBAMA DID NOT WIN BY LOSING as has been suggested, HE FLATLY, OUTRIGHT LOST THE DEBATE, LOST MY VOTE (if I ever was tempted to do so if he were the nominee), AND LOST HIS CHANCES OF BEING ELECTED..

If we democrats are to retake the WH, our choice has to be Hillary, no doubt about it.
