Rick, Obama's AA audience absolutely understood Ebonics in Raleigh, NC. Based on the cheering response from his AA audience, he delivered a super cool dog whistle when he flipped Hillary the bird and brushed his shoulders off, as if she were some kind of filth. http://tinyurl.com/5tmhov Clearly, they loved the reference to his favorite rapper Jay-Z http://tinyurl.com/5ch9ba He was so happy with himself, I just wanted to smack him. In the video, he mimics Hillary sticking him with a knife but in truth, he is the one wielding the knife. He is the master of snide insult so he can get away with it. "Throw the rock, hide the hand." He's hip, he's cool, he's Superfly http://tinyurl.com/6eqlty
