It is amusing, but it appears that the video immediately above has been digitally manipulated. If you will, freeze the frame on the one-finger salute: the length of middle finger is disproportionately long in comparison to his other fingers, his hand, or his head.
The movie showing the President wiping his glasses on green dress--while the woman appears somewhat oblivious, provides no context. For all we know, the preceding frames might help explain what appears, out of context, kind of laughable. The billboard following the cut seemed a bit... harsh, to me at least.
I'm not ranting and I enjoyed my visit. Still, I do have a high regard for the office and I choose to provide the elected President with the benefit of the doubt even if he has not earned my highest respect.
Beyond that, I would hope that an organization with such an austere title as the "Center for Media & Democracy"--in red letters, no less would ensure that the content that they provide would be accurate and not a misrepresentation. And a project called Source Watch sounds accurate enough to me. I watched only two videos. Perhaps I first raised a question when I watched a video that suggested that it is grounds for dismissal if the President cleans his glasses. Albeit, on a woman's dress while she is wearing it. Then I saw the longest middle finger that I have ever seen in my life, freeze-framed. How many knuckles does that thing have?
I heard that they have pictures of babies with bat wings--they can fly! on the National Enquirer site. So, I have to run now. Great stuff that you guys have here too. I wish you had a direct link.
