Living in a time of war and economic collapse, what else do we have to talk about but middle fingers? I’ll let you judge whether Obama’s alleged gesture was intentional. Anyway, Republicans flip the bird so much better.

Meanwhile, Robert Reich and Sam Nunn have declared their support for Obama.

“It doesn’t seem like she has the power to alter the dynamic of the race anymore,” said Simon Rosenberg, head of the Democratic advocacy group NDN.

Rosenberg said Clinton’s scenario for winning the Democratic nomination was no longer believable.

“In every way you can measure it, he’s won more delegates, he’s won more states, he’s raised more money, he has a better organization — all the metrics one has of how to evaluate the race indicate he is winning and she is losing,” he said.
