Yes, it is true.
The Obama campaign has come up with what they hope will be an inspirational hand gesture to be shared with other Obama supporters everywhere. You use 2 hands to form a large capital letter 'O' standing for Obama. More detail and graphic here.

I say this is sadly and badly chosen. It can easily be interpreted as something obscene and the McCain campaign has already photoshopped their graphic into a campaign ad for John (Grandpa Simpson) McCain! Click the photo.
What do you say?

Ewww.... one hand? That's even more suggestive of something obscene. Gotta agree they are trying too hard.

yeah i guess if you're in that frame of mind, it's just when you sign for the deaf one hand in an "O" is the natural sign for the letter "O" . So maybe obama should just talk to deaf people?

What is it with the liberals and their love of symbols?
This looks like some of the silly nonsense from the movements of the sixties.
Actually, it fits Obamoron very nicely... because if he gets into office with the rest of his pals already in Congress, then the standing word of the day will be BOHICA with the screwing that he and the liberals have in mind for us.

I admit my military education was incomplete. I had to look up that acronymn. For those who want to know, goggle will tell you almost anything.
As far as you being right, yep, you're right again.

Yeah, the thought of a charismatic leader speaking while adoring crowds give a special hand salute does give one a chilly shiver.

Hmmm... it will be time to dig up old Hitler speeches when that speech is made and do some comparisons.

Obama's staff definitely screwed up and McCain's definitely took advantage of an adversary's mistake.
