Is Obama Mocking?
There were 951,000 hits on Google for articles using the word “mock” in reference to Obama. Obama did technically mock Hillary by mildly imitating her in the YouTube video listed below. But upon examination most of the articles that used the word “mock” to describe Obama “mocking” Hillary, instead go on the describe him using very mild humor, defending himself or just stating his case. The word “mocking” is a strong accusation. I believe is being used as a subliminal attack because when Hillary actually mocks Obama quite intensely the press says she is “being tough” and is not being negative or derisive. Incredible!

Obama mocks Clinton… mocking Obama
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/01/obama-mocks-clinton-mocking-obama/
PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (CNN) — It was one week ago Sunday that Hillary Clinton stood in the rec center at Rhode Island College and mocked fellow presidential candidate Barack Obama for his campaign's theme of hope, saying Obama can't just "wave a magic wand and have the special interests disappear."… "I think she was here, right?" Obama said toward the end of his stump speech. "She was saying 'Oh, you know, he thinks that the clouds will part and… [that] he's so naïve.'" The room quickly erupted in "boos.""Wait, wait, wait," he said. "He thinks he can wave a magic wand," he continued, mocking Clinton's impression, "and suddenly everything will be great."
