Sometimes a gesture is more than it seems

Paranoia concerning President Obama is as rife on the Right as paranoia concerning President Bush was on the Left. But Professor Paul Rahe thinks he sees some disturbing double-meanings in what Mr. Obama does and says.

"Signifyin'" is a time-honored rhetorical device in the African-American community. An interesting question: could some of Mr. Obama's gestures- both physical and otherwise- contain more than one level of meaning?
