President Obama is Eddie Haskell for 2009

Paul Rahe: Obama’s gestures, part 4
Barack Obama has a history of belittling his adversaries [by indirection]. In April, 2008, he was caught on tape during a debate with Hillary Clinton, rubbing his hand across the right side of his face and extending his middle finger in an obscene gesture that many in the audience could see it but she could not, and when this provoked laughter on the part of his supporters he responded with a knowing smile. Later, after accepting his party’s nomination, he did precisely the same thing during a debate with John McCain; and, after Sarah Palin remarked at the Republican National Convention that the only difference between a pit bull and a soccer mom was lipstick, he observed at a rally that a pig with lipstick is still a pig. Again, many in the audience caught the dig and they, too, were rewarded with a knowing smile.
The above behaviors are the reason a whole generation couldn’t stand Eddie Haskell of Leave it to Beaver fame. Barack Obama is this generation’s answer to Eddie Haskell–only they don’t have the proper context in which to place the President. Before the 2012 election, watching Eddie on Nick at Night or TVLand should be a requirement to vote.
