Watch me compare Sen. Obama to Sen. Kerry, and then snidely suggest that Democrats are incapable of being manly men, and this is why we need to elect John McCain.
Note to Our Media Betters™: This is getting patently ridiculous. You’ve dropped all pretense of objective journalism, and are now openly cheerleading for the Republicans by this obsessive focus on tawdry trivia. For the love of Pete, if you’re not going to get serious and focus on the issues that REALLY matter to Americans, then just SHUT UP.

He’s talking critically about his opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, and the kind of distasteful gotcha politics that occur in Washington. And he says, "That’s all right. Sen. Clinton looked in her element."
Watch the video right then. The presidential candidate raises his right hand to seemingly scratch his cheek.
He doesn’t use his whole hand though. Just one finger. Briefly. A couple of strokes.
