I did see him give Hillary a “dig” because she gave him a “dig.” What was that about? He seems to be still licking his wounds from the silly ABC debate. That was a namby-pamby response, Barack.

Wait till they start throwing hard balls, if you become the candidate. Save your middle finger for the GOP attack machine.

I will watch for video, but as someone whose teaching and research involves capturing and using and showing a lot of video, it turns out to be harder that you might think to capture specific moments.

But I promise to keep my eyes open and post the first example I see that I can.

You know something: I have thought enough about selective perception to know that the people claiming to see it are fully sincere. They do see it. I don’t. In fact, I really think I am right.

Hey, whatever else you think of this whole thing, it reveals an enormous amount about perception.

After spring break I am going to share it with my students and get their take.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

When and where? I presume you have some video material to show us when did he scratch his cheek this way. Afterall you say he did this on countless times… So please…. Show us these “countless times”… They shouldn’t be hard for you to find them.

I personally have never seen him scratching himself this way nor I can’t say I have ever seen any other man doing this. On top of this it seems that at least the lady in the red blouse in the background obviously recognized the gesture.

However, if this is just another -> being critical of Obama = racist -> then… we have a problem.
