Obama's "Tell"?

Now that he's in the fire over his pastor's Un-American harangues, have we discovered Barack Obama's "tell", that poker tic that gives away your bluff? (Watch the surprisingly watchable Damon flick Rounders for more on "tells")

Compare his hotseat interviews on Hannity & Colmes and MSNBC to his "official" YouTube response. Same room, same crappy lamp, same tie in all three clips.

Notice anything different?

Hannity & Colmes:

MSNBC:

Obama's Official YouTube Response:

Is that dog-whistle rightish headcock Obama's mendacity tell?

In his telepromptered response, he has perfect posture, head high, chin up. Hope. Change. yada.

The ad libbed hotseats? Taking on water, listing badly starboard. In other words, sinking.

UPDATE: Welcome, Ed Driscoll folks (thanks, Ed). Obama didn't attend every sermon --- he didn't have to.

Oh, he was just sitting in a crooked chair in the first two interviews. Same room, same lamp, same picture, and different chair.

Yes, I sat in that church ... but I didn't inhale.

Well there's a differnece.

The first two are interviews-dialogues.

The second is a monologue.

So the first two could be a posture of saying-"I'm listening".

Interesting though that this guy is a bridge but only now does he feel it neccessary to talk to the FOX audience.

[Bugler]

Good catch, Cuffy. Oh, and INSTALANCHE, dude.

This from the people who gave us eight years of George W. Bush?

Please.

[Skeptic]

Very good catch on the "tell".

My question is what is a community organizer and why would you aspire to be one? It sounds a lot like the dedicated communists that helped foment revolution in taking down the Tzarist Russia. Organizing workers, joining politically connected churches, being seen in the right company of others. We don't really know much about his family and upbringing other than what he has published. He has made is own narrative of his growing up, sequesters his grandmother away from public view, takes on the views via his racist reverend that says that "white America" is holding blacks down. Well, Obama had white grandparents that raised him, taught him and paid for his privileged upbringing. How does he sit in a congregation that teaches that whites are oppressors and evil?

Twenty plus years listening to hate, earmarks for his wife's employer, sweet heart real-estate deals with crooks -- wow he seems to even out sleaze the Clintons.

As Karl Rowe was purported to be to George Bush (his brain), so is the Rev. Wright to Barack Obama. Wright has one overwhelming message for his audience: Whitey did it! No person who obtains to any claim of intellectual objectivity can truthfully make a distinction (other than color) between Wright's philosophy and the philosophy of those of the Nazi/Klan ilk. And Obama is HIS boy, right there in the front pews, soaking it up for a couple of decades. Meanwhile, Hollywood brainiacs Ben Aflec and Matt Damon, so I've heard, are helping to make a commercial for Barack's campaign! Proving once again that liberals are nuttier than a pecan orchard.
