17. I'd say mostly it just shows his inexperience --
Today was his big Kennedy day - probably a little tired, but also exhausted by a good day for him, probably some JFK-dreamin' as he luxuriates in Kennedies and their praise. And he can't set the natural little irritations and whineages of a hard-fought campaign out of his mind when he's expected to.

Maybe thinking, today, "man, I really AM the next JFK" and then he runs across That Lady who might stop him, and he just gets a little pissed - why does she have to ruin my great day by coming over here? So he goes ahead and turns his back, and shits on his OWN good day. The AP pics are out, MSNBC is reporting on it, this story has legs, there's already a narrative in place (you're likeable ENOUGH) -- etc. etc.

Obama may end up having pissed away a couple extra percentage of the votes of the Tsunami Tuesday women today. THIS MAN IS NOT READY TO BE OUR CANDIDATE: him, last all the way to November? Not seeing it.
